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

decisions...decisions... I have the ability to activate Command twice this turn. Or would it be more effective to xo Starbuck?

What would be the advantage in XOing Starbuck right now? Using Command twice sounds like it could be pretty effective.

You could XO me and we could get more red cards...

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

BSG (Starbuck)

Go for command x2.

Oh you know, I was hoping Starbuck might have a helpful card.

I play CS-3 to take two actions instead of moving.

First I command the the RSV in Sector 5 to move to Sector 4 and the RSV in Sector 6 to Sector 1. Then I use my second action to launch one new viper into Sector 5 and another into Sector 6. So now we have four vipers on the board 1 each in Sector 1,4,5, and 6. Correct?

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

Correct! And now it is so. Oh, plus Starbuck's in a viper, so technically there's to in Sector 4. She's not just floating out there wearing a jetpack or anything.

Damn, I wish the crisis card was "Jetpacks". It could be, if you put these things in a pack, I suppose. Adama's crisis card is:

Hidden Explosives
Admiral's Choice

Admiral Adama, when you're ready, please post your choice.

Well I don't want to go to sickbay, and we are starting to run low on raptors. Do you guys support my decision to lower morale?

BSG (Doc)

Well, I wouldn't be happy about it. Because of how morale would be lower. But, yeah, keeping you standing by in Command seems better.

BSG (Starbuck)

With nebula coming up, and how much morale dropped last time, I'm hesitant to sign off on the hit. But, with bogeys in the air, we need you in a spot of action. So. With great apprehension, I support your choice.

If they were easy choices, I suppose they wouldn't be called "crisis cards"

I choose option 2

Morale falls by 1! I'm not quite sure why the Admiral not getting blowed up makes everyone sadder, but there it is. Next, both the raiders and the jump track advance. That almost concludes Adama's turn. Last order of business: by my records, Adama still has 11 cards left in his hand. Admiral Adama, when you're ready, please post your choice of discard.

Starbuck has opted to draw Blue for her variable draw. Since she starts her turn in space, she may move and take two actions this turn. Starbuck, when you're ready, please post your orders.
