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.

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

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.

Duly noted. When she's finished shooting up the raiders, she will first round on you.

I don't have another MF so I will shoot at the one remaining Raider in this sector.

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.

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.
