The Admiral lines up the shot.

Die roll: 4 + 2 = 6. Basestar damaged once! And the damage is: Disabled Weapons!

At this point, I need to mention a ruling on what happens to a damaged basestar when you jump. Per the Official FAQ, when the fleet jumps, the basestar moves to the Cylon fleet board, and all damage tokens are removed.

Meanwhile, it looks like Apollo wasn't left behind after all. He's been lurking in the airducts and gorging himself on the fleet's stores, and now the fleet faces

BSG (Ellen)

Oh, right, that's me! Well, I'm leaning towards Option 2, just to spread the suffering around a little, but I'm willing to hear arguments for Option 1 if anyone has any.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

BSG (Boomer)

Nope, Option 2 is the way to go. Also, let's destroy that basestar if we can! Otherwise our damage will be for naught!

I agree with Option 2. Both options suck, but spreading the suck around is probably the best way to go...wait, did that sound dirty?

Oh, whoops, I totally got distracted by something shiny. Let's make Option 2 official. Sorry nameless, faceless Galacticans! I hope this doesn't mean we're going all Soylent Greeen, that is terrible for my complexion.

Food falls by 1, and only avoids falling by another 1 due to Population also falling by 1, but it's nothing to do with cannibalism, ok? Ellen made a campaign promise about it and everything.

Finally, the raiders and jump track both advance. That concludes Ellen's turn. Boomer's cards are going out. Boomer, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

BSG (Boom Goes the Dynamite)

Well, those Raiders are going after those civvies, so let's go protect them.

I move to Sector 5 and CAG a Viper to Sector 4 and action-move to Sector 4.
