Civvie E joins Starbuck in Sector 4. They may not be the only ones in need of rescuing. Looks like Hot Dog may have left a little surprise for Gaeta. Gaeta's crisis card is:
Rescue Mission (A)
Admiral's Choice
He may be stranded, but he still holds Gaeta's fate in his hands. Admiral Helo, when you're ready, pleas post your choice.
BSG (Gaeta)
I don't want to go to Sickbay! You don't want me in Sickbay; I have basestars to be firing on.
BSG (Helo)
Yeah but it might not be that bad. Cally, is the doc in a good mood, do you think?
I gotta go to work, I'll decide when I get home.
BSG
Cally, is the doc in a good mood, do you think?
Secrecy rules prohibit her from answering that question. All she can say is whether she thinks a given individual should or should not encounter the NPC in a given situation.
BSG (Cally)
I don't know Doc Cottle well enough to judge his mood or not, but you know how it is with these NPC's it can go either way - not every encounter that at first seems good ends up being good and not every encounter that first seems bad ends up being bad. On the other the hand it could all be bad or all be good.
B BSG (Admiral Helo)
that doesn't seem worth the risk. I choose Option 2
BSG
Admiral Softie agrees to the rescue! Fuel falls by 1 and one raptor is destroyed.
Next, the basestars activate (again).
Basestar 1: 2. Miss.
Basestar 2: 4. Hit!
Gaeta, as current player it's your choice. Did it hit Galactica or Pegasus?
BSG (Gaeta)
Oh, gods, Pegasus is halfway gone already, and I'm the only one who could potentially be sent to Sickbay, so let's spread the damage around to Galactica.
BSG
Galactica takes her first hit! And it is... Weapons Control. Well, of course it is. Gaeta lands in Sickbay after all! (Incidentally, a note on NPCs: If Hot Dog were still in Weapons Control, this hit would remove him and a replacement NPC would be drawn.)
Finally, the jump track advances into the Blue. hat concludes Gaeta's turn. Starbuck has opted to draw 1 Green for her variable draw. Starbuck, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
