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

BSG (Apollo)

OK, Galacticans, do we think we can get an XO on me before those Raiders make it to the civvies, or do I need to bend all my efforts to getting to their sector and keeping them safe myself now?

And perhaps relatedly, is anyone else is in a good position to be doing something useful?

I guess regardless of what anyone has to say about that, I will move to Sector 5, and CAG the RSV in Sector 5 to Sector 4 and pause to consider my final action. Ah, soaring in a viper, so contemplative.

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

BSG (Cally)

at the moment I can't do anything useful but there's a chance I can xo you on my turn.

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

BSG (Chief)

I can't do anything useful. I mean, I could fire on the basestar again, obvs. That would be useful.

BSG (Apollo)

Hm, guess I'd better play it safe and join my RSV friend in Sector 4 to protect those civvies.

An XO to me in the near future could escort them both home. Or whup some raider ass. So bear that in mind.

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

BSG

Apollo is all about the civvies. And raider ass, so there's that. But is he willing to put his own well-being on the line for them? Apollo's crisis card is:

The Passage

Apollo, when you're ready, please post your choice.

Well, I feel pretty good about that check. I know nobody else draws red, but do we have some purple and blue strength to get us closer to jumping?

I don't like the odds on the die roll, but if I end up in Sickbay launching one of those MarkVIIs would get me back in the air and, like, fast, so that might not be terrible.

Whaddaya say, Galacticans?

Thrive to spite them

BSG (Adama)

I could help a little with the check but also with a XO.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Roslin)

I can't help with the check at all.
