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

But someone played Scout for Fuel to get Boomer out of the Brig.

Oh, sorry! Yes, that got played. However: Scout for Fuel lets you risk a raptor to try to gain Fuel. If you don't have a raptor to risk (and you don't), then you can't try to gain Fuel. It hasn't been playable since your last jump.

Oh! Well, that does make me feel better.

BSG (Boomer)

Daaaamn, thanks, guys! It feels good to finally be out of there. Is anyone in Command? Because I can Repair Vipers while I'm on the Hangar Deck, and launching a bunch into Sector 5 would be a great defense.

Let's not waste our Fuel scouting for water, then.

We're going to die some other way before we die of Food, and I'm not going to give Cally and Anders the chance to win the game by spiking that check. I choose Option 2.

Food falls to 3. Next, the raiders activate. Order doesn't matter this time around. The raider in Sector 4 destroys civvie B, which contained: 0 Population. Decoy! Other raiders move around a bit. Finally, the raider in Sector 6 fires on Anders!

Die roll: 2. Miss.

With the jump track advance, Boomer's turn ends. Six has opted to draw 2G/1B for her card draw. Caprica Six, when you're ready, please post your ove and action.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Caprica)

Yeah, this is all getting pretty dicey. So, what can folks do? Tory? Still got anything up your sleeve? More Command from Gaeta? Or we could go with Boomer's plan? I could shoot at stuff, but that's only one action's worth.

Or if we're feeling pretty strongly about Anders, I could head to Admiral's quarters and we could try to brig him before his turn. A Cylon reveal could be pretty devastating to us at this point, but I don't want to waste the action if we don't think he is, in fact, metal. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Gah. I don't know. I do have something up my sleeve, and my OPG could set me up for more useful sleeve fillers. Maybe that's the way to go.

Eta: and we don't know what's at risk with Civvie G, do we? SO MANY WAYS TO DIE

Well, we do have one nuke left, and there's a fat target with some potential collateral damage.....Plus I could get G out of immediate danger.

So Sector 5 is most at risk, and it's at risk by the Raiders in Sector 4. An XO to me would get me there and firing at them and, even if I can't take them out, keep them from advancing. Civvie G is a potential game-ender, of course, but so could anything in Sector 5. I'm not sure repairing Vipers is a good use of my time if we don't have time to launch them before Raiders advance on Sector 5.

Luckily, there's an MKVII guarding them, and they're hard to kill.

Wait, can I even launch? We have no Vipers in Reserves. Do I have to Repair first?
