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

BSG

Everyone passes on interrupts.

Die roll: 3 + 2 = 5. One hit! It suffers a Disabled Hangar, not that this matters much because with three hits against it, the basestar is destroyed!

You blew up my basestar! Of course, veterans of these games know what that means. Replacement! Helo's crisis card is:

Besieged
Cylon Attack

Destroying the basestar has an immediate effect. This attack card starts with a raier activation. With no raiders on the board, two launch from each basestar. Alas, we won't get two in Sector 1, just in Sector 2.

Next, we add more ships! There they go. Of particular note is Sector 6, which now has two civvies, three vipers and four raiders. This is important because the special rule on this attack card is: these four raiders activate immediately, and fire at the vipers:

Raider 1: 4. Miss.
Raider 2: 2. Miss.
Raider 3: 4. Miss.
Raider 4: 7. Viper damaged!

Time for interrupts. Helo, do you want to use your reroll? I will also ask Helo and Starbuck for COs for using EMs.

Helo uses his reroll:

Raider 4a: 7. Viper damaged (still)!

Ok, on to EMs. Helo and Starbuck, please put in COs.

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

MY HOMIES! I wish you had better aim, but welcome to the frakking party.

I think you may be a little confused as to the type of party we're running here.

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

BSG (Helo to the rescue)

Dodge! I play EM-1

Helo plays an EM-2, actually.

Raider 4b: 1. Miss.

That concludes Helo's turn. Gaeta starts his turn on the Resurrrection Ship and may draw only one card. GAETRON, when you're ready, please post your choice of colour.

I will take Treachery and then move to Cylon Fleet and activate basestars to fire on Pegasus.

Card sent. The basestars open up:

Basestar 1: 6. Hit!
Basestar 2: 2. Miss.

Ok, that's a slight improvement. Damage: Engine Room.

That concludes Gaeta's turn. There'll be a delay before I get Starbuck's cards out.

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

BSG (President)

Remember how we were marveling how quiet it was? I think we found the stash of attack cards. All things considered, we got away pretty light.

Let's hope Starbuck isn't hearing any songs thru the ship walls.
