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

BSG (Chiefbot)

I play 1 card.

Hope you saved something good, Roslin. Hope Adama had a shitty card draw.

Yeah, no.

Frak. It's all up to me, then. If they survive my turn, they win.

(Honestly, they should have frakking jumped early in the last cycle. They might have won by now.)

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

BSG (Apollo)

Nah, if we'd jumped before the Pursuit tracked jumped y'all in we'd have been screwed.

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 correct. Adama's decision to nuke the basestar on turn 10.3 saved the fleet.

Meanwhile, another lightning check:

Unexplained Deaths: 8 GP(1)

Destiny: 2 cards
Chief: 1 card
Apollo: 1 card
Cally: 0 cards
Roslin: 0 cards
Adama: 4 cards

Cards played:

Executive Order 1
Executive Order 1
Executive Order 2
Declare Emergency 3
Strategic Planning 3
Evasive Manoeuvre 1
Evasive Manoeuvre 1
Maximum Firepower 4

Tally: 12 - 4 = 8. Exact pass! Adama's Inspirational Leadership saves humanity for another turn!

Now things start to get interesting. The raider activation advances the pursuit track; it then adds another raider to the CFB. However, all twenty raiders are already on the CFB! The activation therefore causes the contents of one sector to jump in. The six raiders in Sector 1 appear to menace the fleet!

Finally, the jump track advances. It is now in the Blue; if the humans can reach FTL Control, they can jump to end the game! (Resource count, and therefore the final victors, pending resolution of any Personal Goals.)

That concludes Adama's turn. Chiefbot has opted to draw 1 Red and 1 Blue. Chiefbot, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Destiny helped them AGAIN??

May the One True God be with us: I activate Caprica and choose a Crisis Card.
