"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Ok, I do not move, so I Intimate up with Tory, allowing her to draw yellow. And I XO Boomer on the premise that a pilot in the air is better than one on the ground.

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

BSG

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

The Olympic Carrier
Skill Check (11 YGR)

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.

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

Pass on interrupts

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

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.

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

BSG (Boomer)

Holy frak, we're jumping? I mean, let's just tank this check and die. The only way we don't lose if there's a 0 Fuel Destination available.

Pass on interrupts, and I can help on this check.

So, a real message of hope there from the former CAG. For those who are interested, there are four destinations (out of 33, excluding Misjump) that will not end the game immediately. There are three 1-Distance destinations that cost 0 Fuel; and there is the 2-Distance Cylon Refinery, which would leave the fate of the crew to a die roll.

Under normal circumstances, there are also four Tylium Planets (of which you've seen one already), that could also raise Fuel on a die roll. However, you need to risk a raptor in order to take the die roll, and you are now out of raptors.

Well, those are pretty good odds. And by pretty good I mean sucktacular.

I'm glad we're not jumping on Anders's turn! Because what a dramatic end of the game it would be for him to Longshot the Cylon Refinery die roll to make us lose.

Tory plays 2 cards
Cally plays 1 card

Gaeta is up next.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Things are beginning to get real for SCAVENGER HUNT ON INFINITE EARTHS. People still seem to be having a lot of trouble picking characters, but the stage is set:
