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

Hey, look, Dee's taunting the mod! Hi there, Dee! Hey Dee, did you know that Main Batteries can't hit the Basestars; but the Basestars can certainly hit Main Batteries? That's interesting, don't you think? I think that's interesting.

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

HAHAHA! Oops. I mean, hey cool GM, do you want some peanuts? They are yummy! and full of protien to help you think!!

BSG (Dee)

As much as we need those guys repaired, I think boarding party, and the raider with civilian is higher problem.

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

The question is where I should go before playing an XO. Stay where I am? Hangar Deck? Command? CIC? I really think I should try to repair something on an XO. What will we need most?

CIC will take care of basestars. New Vipers are super sweet. I think you staying it weapons helps when an XO comes along to take 2 shots at things. If you can XO, I'd say The Admiral to get him out of sickbay. Just my opinion. I think those that can harm us are more priority than repairs at this time.

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

BSG (Adama little under the weather)

With an XO I could move to Comms and check the manifests of those civvies and move them if it seems prudent. It would be awesome if I could get an XO before my turn so I get my full card draw.

All right, screw it, I discard RT-0 to move to Pegasus CIC and wait for an XO, and meanwhile I XO-2 Adama.

Admiral Adama, you have received an XO. You can either move and take an action, or not move and take two actions. When you're ready, please post your orders.

BSG (Adama feeling much better now)

I will move to Comms and check the manifests of our two civvies

BSG (Adama little worried about this)

Civilian ship Blunderbuss! Hold your current position. Civilian ship Anaconda! Move to sector 6 to rendezvous with the Blunderbuss! We need to get some birds in the sky to protect these civvies ASAP.

iow I leave civvie B in sector 6 and move civvie A to sector 6

and highly recommend we protect both of them

Well, that's not good. Guess I should have bet on Command. Hup to it, Apollo.

Also, protip: probably best not to have said that right before the Cylon's turn.
