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

BSG

[Ahem] Leoben has asked me to read a prepared statement. We shall not be taking any questions at this time.

My fellow Galacticans

You can tell that I think of myself as a Galactican by the number of cards I just drew. You may be wondering, "why so much Treachery?" I'll get to that in a moment.

First, think back to when I first arrived. There was so little hope in this ragtag fleet, and so much damage. Granted, much of that damage I had personally inflicted, but that is not the point. The point is, look around at this relatively space-worthy vessel and ask yourself, are you better off now than you were before I infiltrated?

Of course you are.

I couldn't help but feel I could do more, so I went to the Quorum and asked how I could serve Galactica further - perhaps the CAGmirdent would appreciate an easier to pronounce title, for example. They asked me for a birth certificate, which, as I understand it, is only held by those who are, if you will excuse the expression, born. Such a narrow outlook, humanity. Naturally, I tried to explain that perhaps my paperwork was lost with Pegasus, but they were intractable.

Therefore I am, as the saying goes, taking my toys and going home. Try to stay alive for a little while without me, I know that's hard for you metal-deficient types.

The Leobenator

Leoben does the GetFoG and ends his infiltration. He pops back up on the Resurrection Ship.

That concludes Leoben's turn. Apollo is up next. Apollo, what would you like for your card draw?

The last 30 posts have no less than four end-of-turn summaries. We've been keeping a cracking pace. And yet, the jump track is still just at 1 (Red). Anyway. Apollo's orders are:

Move: none
Action: Activate the Basestar Bridge. Roll for the tracks, then roll for Galactica damage.

Either or both rolls may be modified by an SP. An SP on the first roll makes it more likely that the pursuit track advances, and less likely that the jump track recedes. An SP on the second roll makes it less likely that Galactica is damaged. Everyone, please pass or play.

CAGmident Adama, if the track roll results in advancing the pursuit track, you will need to place two new civvies (different sectors, not Sector 4). You can send me COs for your choice.

Multipass.

I have passes from everyone else.

Track roll: 3. Jump track reduced by 1!
Damage roll: 6. Missed it by that much.

The jump track returns to the start position. That concludes Apollo's turn. Adama's cards are going out. CAGmident Adama, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

So moving those Vipers to protect the civvies seems like the best course of action. Or an XO to me could get all of them moved farther from the Raiders.

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

BSG (Dee)

It will take 2 raider activations before they are in danger. In the meantime, I can only contrinute 1 card to a crisis. If we have the cards, I'd appreciate getting debrigged. I think it's safe to say, I am human now, and maybe y'all will believe me now? Just saying.

Why would you want to move the Vipers further from the raiders?
