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.

Thrive to spite them

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.

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

BSG

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:

Rescue Mission (A)
Admiral's Choice

Admiral, when you're ready, please post your choice.

BSG(Adamarama)

Well, considering how Team Human lost last time and that we'll lose a second shot at the basestar, I choose Option 2.

The Admiral orders the raptor destroyed to cover up his secret shame! Fuel falls by 1 (raptors don't just spontaneously combust, after all).

Next, the basestar, so recently the target of Apollo's ire, retaliates:

Die roll: 3. Miss.

Wow. It's like a gunfight from the A-Team here. (No fence is safe!) Finally, the jump track advances. That concludes Adama's turn. Gaeta has opted to draw 1Y/1G for his optional draw. Mr Gaeta, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Edit: Sorry, I have the players out of order. It's Tory's turn next, and her cards are going out. President Foster, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Administrative note: Tory's card draw has exhausted the Leadership deck. I've reshuffled the discards.
