OK, ragtag fleet, what do we need to do? I'm thinking destroying raiders, basestars etc., is more important than we're used to, so maybe we should work on that. And repairing some of our fancy new vipers seems like a good idea.
I could just build up the Quorum or my hand, also.
So, what do we think, potentially trustworthy to some extent people?
::gives Six a little extra side-eye::
BSG (Six)
By which I think you mean, wholly trustworthy me and also maybe some other, potentially trustworthy to some extent, people.
::gives Ellen the svelte head-tilt of assurance, one totally trustworthy assertive blonde to another::
I would agree that combat is going to be quite important on this ride, and therefore, the quicker we can get going on all that metal in the skies, the better.
BSG (Boomer)
I have magic powers when I'm in the sky. Also, I want to use a card before I have to play it into a check.
BSG (Ellen)
Oh, so you do. And a card burning a hole in your flightsuit, eh? Well, that is pretty persuasive.
Let's see, where am I again? Admiral's Quarters? But ... Felix ... huh, I have no memory of how that might have happened but I'm sure it was a good idea at the time. Well, no sense in sticking around here. Where to go, where to go...
BSG
OK, cats and kittens, I move to the Research Lab, adroitly slip that cute Mr. Anders a card, take 1Y and 1G for myself and XO-1 Boomer.
Go get 'em, CAG!
BSG (Boomer)
All right, let's get this party started.
I move to the Hangar Deck, launch into Sector 6, and CAG my bonus action by moving the Viper in Sector 6 to Sector 1 and playing Build Nuke-6.
BSG
Boomer demonstrates a handy side, and knocks up a nuke from the glow-in-the-dark hands of a shipment of old alarm clocks! But she's not done yet; time for the CAG to get the rest of the CAP motivated. Ellen's crisis card is:
Return to Duty
CAG's Choice
Lieutenant Valerii, when you're ready, please post your choice.
BSG (Boomer)
Oh, I get to make choices! Well, um, Option 1 seems good to get Anders on the sky, but it's not worth three raiders that will activate immediately. At least the basestar only has a fifty-fifty chance of hitting. I choose Option 2.
At least the basestar only has a fifty-fifty chance of hitting.
Actually, it hits on a 4 or more. Such as:
Basestar: 2. Miss. Oh well. We have three raiders as well, with a viper to practise on. Let's see if they do any better.
Raider 1: 1. Miss.
Raider 2: 3. Miss.
Raider 3: 2. Miss!
Humans catch a break! That just feels wrong somehow. I blame it on the Coriolis effect.
That concludes Ellen's turn. Cally's cards are going out. Cally, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
