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

BSG

Heh. I just noticed that at the moment, every NPC currently has company - Gaeta is with Hot Dog, Cally with Romo and the Chief with Doc Cottle.

Helo's cards have gone out. However, since he's currently stranded, he does not get a move or action. We can move straight to his crisis card, and here's a cracking idea: as long as the Admiral's otherwise engaged, why not send a few more Cylons your way? Helo's crisis card is:

Ambush
Cylon Attack

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

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

OH. My. GODS!

Maybe we should use a nuke and clear out sector 3. Civvie F might get hurt, but I think it's safe to say, one activation, and he's toast anyway. Sector 4 is gonna be messy. We need some RSV in there!!

First up, the two basestars fire again.

Basestar 1: 6. Hit!
Basestar 2: 3. Miss.

That's one hit. Helo, you're the current player; which ship did it hit?

Oh for frak's sake. And that was our best location for HEY WAIT. If someone XO's me out of here, I can get back over there and repair it, since we all just got another round of Treachery!

Particularly since we can't use nukes until the Admiral gets back at the start of his next turn.(Is that right, bt?)

We can't forget about Cally in the pokey. We will need her cards for skill checks. With this much crap in the air around us, Oy, this is a rough time for us.

BSG (Gaeta)

I will note that I can reroll FTL if we choose that route. At least the civvies aren't directly threatened yet. Or are they? I can't tell after this new attack.

That is correct (as long as you have a Repair, of course), though you only get a bonus action after Repairing on your own turn.

Particularly since we can't use nukes until the Admiral gets back at the start of his next turn.(Is that right, bt?)

That is correct. Only the Admiral can launch a nuke, and he can't take an action until his next turn. (It's possible you could move the Admiralty before then, say through a particular crisis card or Gaeta's OPG, but failing that, they'll have to wait for Helo.)

A sneak preview of the end-of-turn summary: this crisis card added a civvie to Sector 3, which is under immediate threat. It also added four raiders in Sector 4; the three civvies there are guarded by Starbuck.
