I'm going to go with Option 2 I dont want us to waste cards and fail the check.

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

BSG

Morale falls to 7, as the fleet reacts to the little girl's kidnapping with a "Bon Voyage" party.

Next, the raiders activate. The ones in Sector 6 have places to be, but that pesky RSV was hoping they could start a book club. Suggesting Twilight is the last straw. The raiders fire:

Raider 1: 8. Viper destroyed! The others move to Sector 1.

Next up, the raiders in Sector 4 line up against Apollo. However, he's ready for them, and plays a Run Interference 4. Both raiders miss!

Finally, the jump track advances. That concludes Apollo's turn. Kat starts in Sickbay, and may therefore draw just one card. She has opted to draw Purple. Kat, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

BSG (Kat)

Ergh, we are running out of Vipers! Smooth moves, Apollo.

So how are your defenses? Here are my options:

1. FTL (risky, but only 1 Pop now, and we'll lose civvie F at the very least if Raiders activate anyway)
2. Move civvies back to Sector 5 if you're about to get blown away.
3. Move the RSVs to Sector 4 for backup.
4. Come to Sector 4 myself to get shot at.

I'm leaning toward 1 or 3.

I don't have any defenses left.

Frak it, let's live dangerously.

I move to FTL and press the button.

Listen up, civvies, I've got this SP-3 here, so don't get left behind!

Such audacity! Kat hits the button:

Die roll: 2 + 2 = 4. Fail! By CO, Gaeta uses his reroll:
Die roll: 7 + 2 = 9. Pass! The fleet arrives safely. But where have you jumped to? Destinations are going out for the Admiral's decision. Admiral Adama, when you're ready, please post your choice.

Well, we went for the long shot and made it, but we seem to have come out right next to a Derelict Basestar. I suggest shootination be made a priority.

The basestar has suffered Structural Damage. This jump sees the fleet reach the Sleeper Phase. New loyalty cards will go out shortly, and then we'll move on to Kat's crisis card.
