Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

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

BSG

I have orders from everyone.

Training Snafu: 8 GR

Destiny: 2 cards
Leoben: 1 card
Apollo: 1 card
Adama: 1 card
Dee: 1 card
Baltar: 1 card
Cally: 0 cards

Cards played:

Declare Emergency 3
Declare Emergency 4
At Any Cost 4
Declare Emergency 5
Investigative Committee 4
Repair 2
Broadcast Location 1

Tally: 16 - 7 = 9. Pass! The vipers survive their snafu.

Next, the basestar activates; but it's just been destroyed. Instead, a new basestar appears on the CFB, in... Sector 3. The pursuit track advances one step, and the CAG places a new civvie in Sector 5.

Finally, the jump track advances. That concludes Cally's turn. Leoben has opted to draw 1 Yellow and 1 Treachery. Cards are going out now.

Leoben's order are:

Move: Glimpse the Face of God. Top two destiny cards have been sent to Leoben. When you're ready, please let me know which two cards to return to destiny.

That concludes Leoben's turn. Apollo has opted to draw 1Y/1G. Apollo, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

BSG (Apollo)

Okay, I do not move and for my CAG action I activate the MkII to escort civvie A home. Then I escort civvie B home.

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

BSG (Dee)

Nice!! Great job getting those Civvies to safety! (Am I allowed to tell them what they were now?)

OK, we NEED to shoot that boarding party! We also need to keep an eye on Sector 3. When we jump, if I understand the Cylon Fleet rules right, that puts the Basestar right with that Civvie. Also, great job passing that check! ::gives stink eye to Cylon leader spiker:: Destiny wasn't all that helpful either.

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

Nope.

When we jump, if I understand the Cylon Fleet rules right, that puts the Basestar right with that Civvie.

Not when we jump, when they jump.

Destiny wasn't all that helpful either.

And it's going to get less helpful.

No, that information is still under secrecy rules. Partly because it still says something about the odds on civvie C, partly to maintain the principle of the thing.

When we jump, if I understand the Cylon Fleet rules right, that puts the Basestar right with that Civvie.

There's no civvie in Sector 3, just in Sector 5. The contents of the CFB come in when the pursuit track reaches the end.

Apollo and his posse have escorted two civvies off the board, and they stayed up ALLLLLLL NIGHT to do so. Apollo's crisis is:

Sleep Deprivation
Admiral's Choice

Admiral Adama, when you're ready, please post your choice.

Hey!

Well, I am pretty tired, I guess. Where's Kat with her pills?

BSG (Cally)

Well, I did just get us some more Morale, so that could keep us from having to send those Vipers back. It's going to be hard to take out all those Raiders and protect civvie C without them. Maybe. Depends on how well equipped you are.
