Galactica takes her first hit! And it is... Weapons Control. Well, of course it is. Gaeta lands in Sickbay after all!
Oh, for frak's sake.
We have lost the ability to knock off that damaged basestar!
No, we haven't. We still have CIC.
I'm not sure which is worse, that or the mess we are in.
Well, right now the basestars are killing us. We don't actually have Population threatened because Raiders haven't been activating, but they will. I can re-roll FTL. I think we can wait for one more—
Well, it depends on whether Starbuck can defend the civvies in Sector 4. Because we could potentially lose three civvies on a Raider activation there. Unless she can take them out or run interference. If she can hold them off for one more jump icon, I'd say risk 1 Pop to jump early.
BSG
Yes! CIC! Totally forgot about that.
That's a lot of of raiders for Starbuck. I really hope she has a Max Firepower.
I agree, I think waiting one more turn would be better. Hopefully I will get an XO in my draw, so I can XO you to FTL!
BSG (Starbuck)
I'm holding it together out here, but I'm not at all happy about it. Nice of you guys to kick the frakking hornets nest on these toasters. Don't worry, I'm spread some damage around.
I play my
MF-3
and start shooting toasters out of the sky in my sector.
BSG (President)
Ladies and gentlemen of the fleet, I want you to understand, right now, we have one of our defenders on the front line about to do the battle of a lifetime. It's a thankless job. But I want that pilot to know, that she is appreciated! We may be outnumbered, but we will not be out gunned! The ships that are under Starbucks protection, are the luckiest ships in the fleet! Let's all send her our thoughts and prayers as she does battle. Starbuck first round on me when you are done mopping up that bunch.
BSG
Starbuck opens fire:
Fire 1: 2. Miss.
Fire 2: 6. Hit!
Fire 3: 3. Hit!
Fire 4: 3. Hit!
Three raiders destroyed! Cutting it close on some of those, Starbuck.As you started your turn in space, you may take a second action. When you're ready, please post your orders.
BSG
Starbuck first round on me when you are done mopping up that bunch.
Duly noted. When she's finished shooting up the raiders, she will first round on you.
BSG (Starbuck)
I don't have another MF so I will shoot at the one remaining Raider in this sector.
BSG
Starbuck versus the one raider, mano a mano! It ducks! It weaves!
Die roll: 7. Hit!
It makes such pretty vapour trails as it crashes into the side of a planet. Pretty cunning, Starbuck, hitting it with a planet. Sector 4 is now clear of raiders! That just sounds wrong. Let's see if we can't fix that up for you. Starbuck's crisis card is:

Starbuck, when you're ready, please post your choice.
BSG (Starbuck)
I think we should go for the skill check. Do others agree? I can only help a little with it, so it would fall to others to pick up the slack.
