Pegasus is hit... or maybe not? Not sure how to roleplay my reroll ability while I'm stranded out here. I might be able to force Pegasus to take evasive maneuvers... with the power of my MIND!
Damn I've never felt Helo's weakness to be particularly difficult. Until now. I won't hold it against you guys if you can find another admiral before my next turn. I won't hold it against you now.
BSG
Reroll! Let's see if that changes anything.
Basestar 1a: 6. Still hit!
The basestar refuses to be distracted by the Admiral's strange juju. It hits... Engine Room.
That concludes Helo's turn. Gaeta has opted to draw 1Y/1G for his variable draw. Mr Gaeta, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
BSG
Final note: Helo finishes his turn with 11 cards. I have orders to discard By Your Command 1.

BSG (Gaeta)
So I am deciding between taking out the basestar or saving Civvie E with Comms. I think I want to gamble on Cottle and hope he can destroy some Raiders for us. Chief, would you go to Comms and move Civvie E? It's in immediate danger, so it's more critical than repairing Main Batteries, and, as billytea noted, it's better for you repair it on your turn so you can fire away immediately.
I am going to remain in Weapons Control and offer Doc Cottle a light.
If anyone thinks I should just fire on the basestar so it stops shooting at us and spitting out Raiders, and this would be better than saving Civvie E from certain destruction, let me know.
BSG
Doc Cottle happily accepts the smoke, but you're actually sharing space with Hot Dog, whom you now encounter. Unfortunately, he's in an Antagonistic mood. Hot Dog is a Troublemaker. We now have a die roll that threatens Morale, which may be modified by an SP. Everyone, please pass or play.
BSG (Helo)
Pass on interrupts. Dang it would have been quite helpful if he'd been benevolent.
BSG
I'm at Ryan's Chinese lesson, so I won't be able to resolve anything for a short while. Meanwhile, if you think Gaeta might XO you, you can send me COs for your orders.
BSG (Gaeta)
Curses. Yes, it would have been great if he had helped out.
Okay, well, Starbuck needs to spend her turn shooting things, and Baltar shouldn't XO Chief, so I will play SP-3 and XO-2 Chief. I think we should maybe just jump early if we can.
BSG (President)
I like your idea of protecting Civvie F if we can. It does make more sense for Chief to repair on his turn for that 1-2 punch thing. Chief, can you move to Comms with your xo?
We are still too early to jump. Still in the red. If the gods favor us, we will get a jump icon with the next crisis card. In the meantime, maybe we should follow the Admiral's suggestion, and get a new skipper.
