Point taken. Apollo could reach the Cylons and attack once, but unless he has some "enhanced offensive capability", it's probably not worth it.

(raises eyebrows at The Kid)

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

BSG (President)

Ha ha, what! Are you saying it would be a bad idea for him to XO you BECAUSE YOU'RE A CYLON?

Ha. No. Just think now is the time to be cautious. I would rather be cautious, so as to keep alarm down, and focused on finding the *real* cylon(s).

To that end, as President, I strongly urge the Admiral to consider destroying that basestar before she belches more raiders. The civvies are not in direct harm for awhile.

BSG (Apollo)

I seem to have lost track of my cards so I'll have to look to the gods for guidance before I can answer.

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

BSG

Guidance: given.

It's been over 24 hours since the turn started. Admiral, do you have some orders?

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

BSG(Admiral under the gun)

I'm waiting on Apollo's feedback as to whether an XO to him would be worth it. If I don't hear back in a while I'll go ahead.

BSG (Apollo)

I must have been on a delerium because I swaer I gave my answer. The gods have spoken and I can take on the toasters.

BSG(Pop-a-dama)

Hah! OK, as I said I will Move to Weapons Control, and now I will XO-2 Apollo.

(Off the record, I'll also shill for an XO for two shots at the basestar.)

BSG (Apollo)

Praying once again to the gods for guidance (and hopefully proving myself not a toaster after the sleeper phase) I use the Hanger deck to launch into space and then use Full Throttle to move to Sector 1 and take 2 shots at the basestar.

Apollo gets two shots. He has opted to target the basestar. Ambitious effort.

Attack 1: 3. Miss.
Attack 2: 6. Miss.

Meanwhile, back on Galactica, we have a slightly embarrassing problem. It looks like the Admiral may have been a bit extravagant giving out the orders, and he's got his XOing hand stuck in a raptor door. Adama's crisis card is:
