BSG (RoboGaeta)
Oh, wow. You -- you really just said that, didn't you?
I was going to taunt them and then thought better of it.
Never again.
Oh yes, the Cylons have brought a little something they like to call their 'A' game to this party.
Boooooo fire harder, stupidheads!
BSG(Chiefxasperated)
Oh, for frak's sake.
May I suggest we try to whittle down the number of basestars before RoboFelix gets his digits on the controls? I say this as someone who is perfectly placed to take a couple shots.
BSG (President)
Oh yes, the Cylons have brought a little something they like to call their 'A' game to this party.
Well, if that is there "A" game, we aren't doing too bad, seeing how they missed and all. The Gods are with us! So sayeth the Prophet! Er. I mean, President. Eh. same thing, right?
BSG (Helo)
I think our hypothetical second cylon missed a great opportunity to reveal so I'm going to move forward with the assumption that Gaeta is on his own.
I stay put and
play XO-1 on Chief.
Make with the pew-pew, please.
BSG
Chief, you have received an XO. You can either move and take an action, or not move and take two actions. When you're ready, please post your orders.
BSG(Trigger Chiefy)
I will
stay where I am
and
Fire on Sector 1.
So I realized I've never played any of the Metroid games (first console we owned was a Sega Genesis, which limited my NES playing to friends' houses or babysitting younger cousins that owned one.) and have been trying to correct that by playing the first one.
Wow, do I suck.
BSG
Everyone passes on interrupts.
Die roll: 8. Two hits!
Let's check the damage:
Structural Damage
Collateral Damage
Collateral Damage is a new damage token used with the Ionian Nebula. If you draw this token, your shot destroys up to three raiders as well as damaging the basestar. In this instance, there are no raiders in Sector 1, so we just damage the basestar. Thanks to the structural damage, any future shots on this basestar are at +2.
Chief, when you're ready, please post your second action.
BSG (Gaeta)
They just don't build basestars like they used to.
