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

Sorry, I just wish I were XOed ALL THE TIME. I edited.

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

Boomer pulls the other Mk VII into Sector 4, so Hot Dog can get her awesome escorting skillz down on camcorder! Did he get her good side? Boomer's crisis card is:

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

Oof. Well, Option 1 was sort of tempting, but since the pursuit track puts another civvie on the board, there's no net gain there, and we just come out with damaged Vipers and a notch in the Pursuit track. So let's just go with Option 2 and discard ByC-1, R-1, LS-1, LS-1, and EM-1.

Brace yourself, Pegasus.

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

Ouch that's a lot of discards. At least it wasn't a lot of strength.

Boomer discards; Cally passes on Sabotage. Next, the basestar fires:

Die roll: 7. Hit! Boomer has opted for Pegasus to take the hit once again: Airlock damaged. Pegasus is now one hit away from being destroyed.

That concludes Boomer's turn. Six is in Sickbay and so may draw only one card. She has opted to draw Geen. Six, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Six)

Okay, I have a few options here. I could XO Boomer to finish escorting civvies. I could XO Anders to make pew pew noises. Or I could bravely move to the failing Pegasus and repair her. Or I could somewhat less bravely move to the Hangar Deck and get those last couple of fancy new Mk VII Vipers patched up.

What's the will of the people here? I'm leaning toward repairs, because I'm not sure we want to lose all the firepower of Pegasus at this stage of the game, with combat so likely to keep mattering as we go.

BSG (Tory)

It feels very odd to be advising a Cylon Leader not to XO Anders in case he's a cylon, but there it is, the caution is relevant.

It would be nice to not lose Pegasus. It would also be nice to destroy some of our enemies. I don't know.

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

Pegasus is now one hit away from being destroyed.
If there is no air in space, will it make a noise as it blows up? At least pretty fireworks? Either way, I think it will make a spectacular mess! Worthy of Mythbusters fun!

(Just giving equal time, since I was so vocal in the nuke on the basestar)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Six)

No, you're right. But I'm a Cylon Leader who is on your side! Because I'm awesome like that. And it's a good caution.

So it's either XO Boomer or start repairs.

Okay, I think I will discard SD2 in order to move to Pegasus CIC which I will then play R1 to Repair.
