Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

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

BSG (Cally)

The hierarchy is this:

1. Both destroyed
2. Both with disabled weapons
3. One destroyed
4. One with disabled weapons

Basically, if that nuke doesn't disable weapons, fire on the same basestar again. That is the damage we need, and it's better to get it on one than neither.

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

BSG (Adama)

I think we have the same priorities.

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

BSG (deeStroy)

Yes, it is, kill the toasters!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Apollon)

There there, sweetie, I don't care for that kind of language. We're all in this together, you know, except for the part where we're seeking mutual destruction and all that.

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

BSG

Mutual destruction! Well, that was an unexpected turn of events. Probably just as well Cain's not on board, she'd likely take you up on that.

2. Both with disabled weapons

There is only one Disabled Weapons damage token, so this option is not possible. Not happening, either, as the SP on the nuke guarantees the basestar's destruction:

Nuke 1: 4 + 2 = 6. Basestar destroyed!

With Adama's second action, he plays State of Emergency 6! Food falls by 1; everyone may now either move or take an action, starting with Adama. His orders are: launch the second nuke at the basestar in Sector 3. Everyone passes on interrupts:

Nuke 2: 1. Basestar damaged twice! The damage is:

Structural Damage
Critical Hit

No Disabled Weapons, sorry. ...Of course, that destroys the basestar anyway, so maybe you're ok with that.

Dee, you're up next. You may either move or take an action. When you're ready, please post your orders. everyone else, send me COs for your orders.

I activate research lab and draw a BLUE card.

Holy crap, way to nuke the crap out of those basestars, Admiral! And oh man, if I had known you would pull out the old SoE, I would have moved somewhere to repair it, but I think I have something else that would be good for me to do.

Baltar, you should fire on the Heavy. I should too, but I'm doing something else instead.

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

BSG (Leoben)

Bye bye basestars. We'll see you again soon, I'm sure.

Apollo, you have quite inspired me. We are all in the together. Perhaps we should extend the hand of friendship across the gulf of space and embrace our human brethren in some manner.

Who could resist the seductive offer to be embraced "in some manner"? President Baltar is up next.

Thrive to spite them

BSG (Baltar)

I fire on the Heavy Raider in Sector 6.
