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

You think you know what's to come, what you are. You haven't even begun.

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

That sounds like it should have been said by Jack Nicholson

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

Better than Jack Nicholson saying "I want you to draw me like one of your French girls."

OK humans. I'm up next. We are waiting on the Admiral to decide where to damage. Let's start brainstorming what I can do on my turn. Right now, I have zero cards. Hopefully I'll get an XO. But just in case I don't, let's have a couple ideas both ways.

  • First thought is to XO for another volley at the basestar, and try and knock her out.
  • second thought is XO to Apollo to escort the civvies.
  • third thought, in case of no XO, activate Comms and see what those ships have, but I'm thinking leave them with the RSV and Apollo.

Is there anything else I'm not seeing?

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

Pegasus can take the hit

I really want to take that Basestar out.

I really want to take that Basestar out.

Sadly, hitting Pegasus - while enjoyable in its own right - will do little to get you closer to that goal.

Pegasus CIC damaged! Finally, the heavy raider moves to Sector 6. That concludes Adama's turn. Dee's cards are going out. Dee, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

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

BSG (Cally)

Escorting the civvies would actually be a very bad idea. With no civvies in the air, all those Raiders will start firing on Galactica. We need to clear the Cylons out. I'm ready to fire again.

Crap in a bucket. I'd love to XO someone, but the gods are not with me. Well. My options are:

  • Move and fire on the Cylons
  • stay put, and activate Comms, see what's on the ships, but leave them put
  • Scout decks (which I'd rather not do, unless someone can modify the roll)

Part of me wants to stay put, so I can activate comms twice on an XO if/when more ships pop up. Part of me wants to go Duck Hunting!

It is good to have you in Comms, but Main Batteries would also be a good option, for sure. Too many ducks in the sky! Yet, Comms is where you belong. It is where you are most powerful. Hm. If one of the ships is a decoy, you could begin offering it as a sacrifice. If you push a civvie to Sector 5, that will cause the 5 Raiders to move to Sector 6 instead of Sector 2, where that Viper can try to hold them off. Right now they're just going to follow the 3 Raiders toward Sector 4.
