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

BSG (Chief)

I play 2 cards.

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 also plays two cards. Cally is last to play.

Administrative note: Destiny's play into the check reduced the destiny deck to 6 cards. I've replenished and reshuffled it.

The complete table:

Bomb Threat: 13 YGP(B)

Destiny: 2 cards
Roslin: 0 cards
Adama: 2 cards
Chief: 2 cards
Apollo: 2 cards
Cally: 2 cards

Cards played:

Consolidate Power 1
Consolidate Power 2
Preventative Policy 3
Executive Order 1
Declare Emergency 5
Launch Scout 1
Launch Scout 1
Repair 1
Repair 1
Repair 2

Tally: 18 - 0 = 18. Pass!

The bomb has been found and neutralised.

Next, the raiders activate. Order turns out to be irrelevant. Let's start with Sector 4, where a lone raider fires at Apollo:

Die roll: 7. Hit! But Apollo plays an Evasive Manoeuvre 1.

Die roll: 2 - 2 = 0. Miss.

He's failed, but now he has backup as the raider from S3 joins him. Finally, one raider in Sector 1 destroys civilian ship C, and his fellows move to Sector 2. Civvie C contained 1 Population.

Finally, the jump track advances. That concludes Cally's turn. Roslin's cards are going out. Ms Roslin, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Roslin)

Ok, well, I could move that last civvie, but that would leave Apollo alone with the raiders or I could just XO Apollo directly and he could send it home? Or I could XO somebody else if they've got any bright ideas for the moment?

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

BSG (Apollo)

I could make good use of an XO, yeah.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Roslin)

Okay, I do not move and I play XO1 on Apollo. Go get 'em, kid.

BSG (Apollo)

For my first action I play my MF-4 to fire on these pesky raiders with maximum power.

Pass on interrupts

As the movie says, There Will Be Pew-Pew.

Pew-Pew 1: 2. Miss.
Pew-Pew 2: 7. Hit!
Pew-Pew 3: 7. Hit!

With that, Apollo's sector is clear of enemy ships. Apollo, you have one action remaining. When you're ready, please post your orders.

I CAG the RSV from Sector 6 to join me, gotta take advantage of the Mark VII's capabilities, and Reveal my Personal Goal. Again. I am a goal-oriented pilot, apparently.
