Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

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

Would a nuke take out both?

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.

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

BSG (President)

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.

Gaeta has buried the crisis card. That means there's no crisis on his turn, right? Gaeta certainly thinks so, which is why it's such a shock when he's surprised by an:

Unexpected Reunion
Skill Check (8 YGP)

Possible interrupts: IC, SR, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Apollo plays first, Gaeta last.

I really wish we had a IC right now.

OK my fellow space travelers. This is a low hurddle. We should be able to jump over it, easy cheesey. Let's take this one. Pass it. I can help a little with it.
