Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

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?

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

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.)

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

BSG (Anders)

I can help if we go for the check.

BSG (Six)

Aargh, I'm sorry, guys. I didn't know it would be so close when I sent in the CO's! I should have made them more conditional. So double thanks to Anders for the save.

I can help a little on the check. That's a pretty big resource loss if we fail the check. But I don't know how much treachery we want in our hands since Ellen already draws it and I can draw it but chose not to.

No interrupts.

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

I can't help at all.

I just don't feel good about that skill check. Option 2

Food falls by 1; everyone (except Six) discards one card and draws 1 Treachery (including Six). Everyone, please post or send me your discards.

I have everyone's discards. Let's find out the cost of that cover-up:

Anders: Red Tape 0
Ellen: Broadcast Location 1
Cally: Scientific Research 3
Gaeta: Repair 2
Boomer: Protect the Fleet 0

Next, everyone draws one Treachery; cards are going out now.

Next is the raider activation. As there are no raiders or basestars on the main board, this activation places one raider randomly on the Cylon fleet board. It appears in... Sector 2. It also advances the pursuit track to the first step, which prompts the CAG to place one new civilian ship. Boomer places the SS Castrovalva in Sector 5.

Finally, the jump track advances, which brings us to the first jump! Destinations are going out to the Admiral. Admiral Gaeta, when you're ready, please post your choice.
