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.
BSG
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.

Ok, I

Boomer has left COs for just this eventuality, which I now present in an intimidating Wall of Bold:
Action 1: Activate Hangar Deck; commandeer the Mk VII in Sector 5, launch in Sector 5.
Bonus Hangar Deck Action: Play Full Throttle 2 to move to Sector 4 and fire at a raider.
Die roll: 1. Miss.
Action 2: Play Maximum Firepower 3 to shoot at raiders.
Fire 1: 3. Hit!
Fire 2: 6. Hit!
Fire 3: 1. Miss.
Fire 4: 4. Hit!
Three raiders go kablooey. Pretty sure there were three explosions there. So why is there an extra ship on DRADIS? Perhaps civvie B wasn't destroyed after all; you may know it better as

Possible interrupts: IC, SR, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Anders plays first, Six last.
BSG (Tory)
Oh, man, I lost track of where we were in the jump track. Good luck with destinations, Admiral.
Pass on interrupts.
I can help a lot on this check.
