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

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?

First, a reminder that Admiral Gaeta has examined civvies A, D and H. He cannot reveal their contents, but can advise the crew in matters of which civvie(s) to protect, destroy, escort etc, when such questions arise.

You can launch in one of two ways. You can either repair some vipers first, and grab one of them; or you can commandeer the RSV in Sector 5 and launch in that. (You can't commandeer Anders' viper, because he'll fight ya for it.)

Oh right! Good point! Any advice, Admiral Gaeta? Is Sector 5 as bad as all that?

Hmm. Commandeering sounds fun. I'm going to go ahead and declare that an XO to me has a good chance of clearing Sector 4. Unless you think it would be better for me to protect Civvie G, which I could also do.

Let me be elliptical: If Civvie G is destroyed this turn, we will NOT lose the game instantly. I know this for an incontrovertible fact.

Suggestion to everyone: if you think you might be XO'd, you can send me COs for what you will do with it.

Yeeeah, sounds like I better destroy those Raiders then.
