Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

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

BSG (Leoben)

Precision is important and you, my dear, do not have it.

I will go ahead and advise for free, since sentiment is against me. You don't need to play anything, Bill, y'all are fine as is.

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

BSG (Adama)

I play SP-4, LS-2, XO-2

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

I'm detecting some ambivalence towards taking your advice, Leoben.

I'll post Destiny when I get home, but congratulations! You passed! Adama's hidden identity remains hidden.

Back home now, and here is the full play, including Destiny.

Hidden Identity: 12 YGP

Destiny: Evasive Manoeuvre 1, Repair 1
Dee: Launch Scout 2
Baltar: Declare Emergency 3
Cally: Consolidate Power 2, Iron Will 0
Leoben: 0 cards
Apollo: Executive Order 2
Adama: Executive Order 2, Launch Scout 2, Strategic Planning 4

Destiny's colours are negative; but because it's Adama's turn, they count positive anyway as they are both of value 1.

Tally: 19 - 0 = 19. Pass! Adama remains at large. Next is the Cylon activation. There are no basestars on the main board, so instead, it places a basestar on the CFB and advances the pursuit track to step 3. That makes the CAG place two new civvies to replace the one he escorted off; Apollo places them in Sectors 5 and 6.

However, both basestars are already on the CFB, so the activation can't place another. Instead, the basestar in Sector 1 jumps in!

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)

So Leoben was telling the truth. You win this round, jerk.

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

BSG (DeeJected)

The gods of Kobol were not with me and the card draw... again. Can't XO folks. That leaves me a couple options. Stay where I am, and see what's in those civvies. Go to armory and shoot the Centurian (Would prefer an SP to help with that!), go to Weapons and shoot at raiders.

Thoughts?

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

BSG (Adama)

The civvies seem pretty protected for now so a move for destruction seems prudent but I like having you in Comms where you can be most effective. Anybody else have any bright ideas

BSG (Cally)

Yeah, I think the civvies are fine for now; we're going to jump soon. So destroying Raiders or that Centurion is the best move. I suppose you have a better chance in Main Batteries; that sector with 5 Raiders is not one we want coming back later.

BSG (Dee)

MOVE: I discard Launch Scout 1 and move to Main Batteries on Pegasus.

ACTION: Activate Main Batteries on Sector 3, and see how many of those 5 go by by.
