Tally: 19 - 2 = 17. Pass! The crisis has no effect. Well, almost. Cally's Quick Fix removes one of the BL-1s, which raises the tally to 18. Alas, she can't remove both of them, and the check is Reckless. A basestar appears in Sector 1, and a civilian ship in Sector 4. Game on!

That means we can actually do something with the Cylon activation. A heavy raider launches from the basestar. Finally, the jump track advances. That concludes Cally's turn. Helo's cards are going out. Helo, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

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

Dammit! The clear skies were nice while they lasted. I should be able to hit that basestar from CIC, at least.

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

BSG (President)

Interesting. Either Destiny doubly hates us, or both our Cylons played the same card. Don't recall that happening before. Fascinating.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

BSG (Helo)

Unfortunately I cannot XO Gaeta as that would give a potential cylon (nothing personal, I just can't rule anyone out at this time) two turns in a row. Also I find we are nearing the end of the game and I still have all my trauma so I am going to take a risk and Move to command to launch two unmanned vipers into sector 6 and say Hello to Aaron Kelly.

Aaron Kelly is in a Benevolent mood. You want to launch two vipers? Hey, why not make it six? Kelly gives you four viper activations. You may spend them each on a different viper, all on the same viper or anything in between. When you're ready, please post your orders.

While Aaron Kelly was distracted, it looks like one of the prisoners managed to slip out undetected, and he's now claiming squatters' rights on Colonial One. Helo, please let me know (in private) the current trauma of one Tom Zarek, now in Administration.

Oh, no worries, I was going to wait till my turn to fire on the basestar. But, wow, looks like we can protect the hell out of that civvie!

BSG (Heloops)

wait, why did I launch them into Sector six? I could have launched them into Sector 5, right?

If it's not too late, I'd like to move the newly launched (into sector 5) vipers to sector four and use my two remaining activations to launch one each into Sector 5 and Sector 6.

If it is too late, I'll leave those two where the are and launch two vipers into sector 5, then move them both to Sector 4.

Dammit, Helo, this is why you're only half a pilot.
