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

BSG (This Is My BOOMSTICK!)

I play MF-4 and UNLEASH MY FURY!

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

BSG

Fury: unleashed.

Fire 1: 5. Hit!
Fire 2: 7. Hit!
Fire 3: 8. Hit!
And the lesson, boys and girls, is that it pays to have your name in the opening credits.

You have one more action. When you're ready, please post your orders.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

BSG (Anders)

Yeah, when I said I couldn't help at all, I meant to pass, not to keep from failing. Ouch it hurts to come so close but man is Boomer's shooting ability a balm for that sore.

Well, that went well. A little TOO well...since I don't have much to do now. A lot of that going around.

I will CAG the Viper in Sector 5 to Sector 6 and then play LS-1 on the Crisis Deck.

I'm worried about the Heavy. I'm considering burying a jump icon because if we don't destroy it before we jump, it'll just come back, two activations from boarding. This isn't like before where we wanted to jump away as fast as possible: we don't have to worry about Cylon Attack cards.

Weapons Control can target the Heavy, right? Maybe we should do that.

That is correct. No matter the source of the attack, you need to roll a 7+ to destroy a heavy raider.

Meanwhile, there's a scout heading on its merry way. Does it return?

Die roll: 6. Pass! The top card of the crisis deck is being sent. Boomer, when you're ready, please post whether to put it on the top or the bottom of the deck.

I have no idea how to play this game anymore. Cylon Fleet is BOGUS. Let's bury that and see what happens.

I can answer that. Looks like you picked some shady characters to do the burying, Boomer. Ellen's crisis is:

The Black Market
Current Player's Choice

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

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

BSG (Ellen)

So, our chances of passing the skill check, probably very low, yes?

OMG, this Cylon Fleet stuff is confusing. Does the pursuit track go, 1-2-3-Attack, am I reading that right?

It does; with one other wrinkle. When the pursuit track reaches square 1 (as it will do with this activation), the CAG must place a new civilian ship on the board. When it reaches square 3, the CAG places two civvies. They may be placed in any space that does not already have a civvie. (If they all have civvies, the new ships can go anywhere.)

I can help if we go for the check.
