Our wings are not tired

BSG (Late Gaeta)

Okay, so sorry. I can't XO anyone, so I can either move to weapons control and take a shot at Scar or repair some vipers. I'm leaning towards repairing some vipers. Any input?

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

BSG (president)

That sucker will follow us until he is dead, or we are. Shoot the bastard!

Without an SP, we only have a 25% chance of destroying Scar. I'd prefer to get double-shots, and repairing Vipers while we can seems like a decent option. If someone has an SP, though, a fifty-fifty shot at taking Scar out is enticing.

I can't help with an SP. 25% does seem awfully low, especially when we have two damaged vipers.

BSG (President)

There is logic to what is being said. I've given a lot of help these last few turns. I'm out of SP's. Unless someone else has an SP, then repairs seem in order.

BSG (Gaeta)

I'm going to go with th option to Repair some vipers.

In in a rehearsal again and don't have the details for my move but our GM may be able to fill those in before I get back to my email.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

BSG

I believe I can. Mr Gaeta moves to the Hangar Deck and plays a Repair 1 to restore the viper squadron to full strength. Just in time too. They've found you again. Gaeta's crisis card is:

Thirty Three
Cylon Attack

We open the card with a double activation of Scar. Apollo is looking like a promising target:

Scar 1: 7. Hit! Apollo lands back in Sickbay, and Scar's second activation goes to move him into Sector 3.

Next, we place the new ships. By a quirk of timing, Apollo is back on board Galactica, and may therefore use his Alert Viper Pilot ability once more to commandeer one of the vipers. Apollo, would you like to do so? If so, please post which viper you take, and what you will do for your bonus action.

Ha, awesome, get back out there, Apollo!

Good thing we have some Vipers, but, oof, if only we'd gotten to roll that 7 for US. Curses.

"...and then Legolas and the Hulk destroy the entire Greek army." - Penny Arcade

BSG(Papa is a pistol)

If we take out the Basestar, we don't have to worry about more Galactica damage or new launches AND the card doesn't get reshuffled when we jump.

Y'know. Hint, hint.

Thrive to spite them

BSG (Apollo )

I'm going to take a viper and move to sector 1 and go after the basestar.
