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.

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.

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

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.

Now now. Go easy on the Admiral. He's got a lot on his mind. We don't want to alarm the fleet to a simple human error. Heck. If anything, it might help prove the Admiral IS a human. Would a Toaster make that mistake?

It could all be a cunning ploy to feign human weakness!

Dear Gods! You could be right!!

Eh, all gaming aside, I think this one was player human error.

It was very early in the morning when I made that post. I'd been awake for all of five minutes and was hurrying to get ready for work.
