Yeouch. It sure would be nice to know if Baltar is a cylon at this point. I'm leaning towards not. But even if he's human, is dropping morale and losing skill cards worse than having the fleet jump in just after we've taken two more damage? I'm not sure. I know it's already been almost 24 hours since I got this crisis but I feel it's important enough I need to pause for more input from the crew.
BSG (Cally)
Yeah, I don't think Baltar is a Cylon, but he doesn't have many skill cards to lose as it is. There could be a Final Five danger, though.
Two hits to the ships isn't good when we're going to need the ships to fight back, though. Ergh.
BSG (Adamarama)
But if we take the damage, one more hit will destroy Pegasus and leave Galactica on the brink of destruction with the cylon fleet surrounding us.
Please don't kill me!
But you get to come back as a whole new person!

What about the Presidency? I think that needs to be factored too.
I haven't seen any evidence at this time that he is a toaster. Would his execution also ding morale if he is human?
BSG (Cally)
Yes, we would lose Morale. If he is human, he can still choose a character that would allow him to keep the Presidency...although he could come back as a Cylon.
BSG (Dee)
It's a tough choice. I'm leaning towards option 2, with a 1 and 1 damage. But, not strong enough to say "Adama I think you should do option 2"
BSG (Adama)
he could come back as a Cylon.
yes, there's that too. or we could lose the game if Galactica is detroyed.
BSG
Okay I'm confused about the damage issue. There's no current damage to Galatica right now so will 1 or 2 hits really put us that close to deconstruction? I thought there had to be 6 damaged areas.
Can Pegasus really take only 2 damage before being destroyed?
BSG (Cally)
If
Pegasus
take 2 more hits, then 1 more hit will destroy it.
Galactica
will take 6 hits, yes, but imagine if Comms or Weapons Control (or even Armory) gets hit.
