I'm not sure if I'm more offended by being called toaster or a pilot.

It's my turn. I've been in 10 of 12 tech days. I'm headed back down to the theatre in a bit and I will post a move once I'm settled at the tech table.

Okay, I'm finally in front of the computer for a little bit. It looks like we still have a basestar to take out as well as raiders.

I do not have an XO so that's off the table. I can do a move to Weapons and try a shot at the base star or the raiders.

Would a nuke take out both?

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

As long as the raiders are in the same sector as the basestar, you have these possible outcomes:

Roll of 7: destroy the basestar and three raiders.
Roll of 8+: destroy everything in the sector, including all the raiders and Apollo's viper. (Apollo, somehow, survives an all-encompassing nuclear blast and lands in Sickbay.)

Only the Admiral can order a nuclear strike, of course.

Yeah, I don't have an XO to give to the admiral to fire the nukes.

Well, we don't want to destroy anothr Viper, so Nuke seems a bad choice. And since you can't XO, then Weapons seems a good choice.

I now have orders from Gaeta:

Move to Command
Play Launch Scout 1 on crisis deck

Let's see if they make it.

Die roll: 5. Pass! The details of the next crisis card are going out. Mr Gaeta, when you're ready, please post whether to put it on the top or the bottom of the deck.
