BSG (Doc)
But if the die rolls too well it's bad for Civvie A. Which is why I'm asking whether I should use a Plan. Strategically. Which I could. See?
BSG (Starbuck)
Crap. Spreadsheet cell wasn't open enough to see that last bit in there.
I think it's toast, one way or another. If there is a Raider activation, it's done. So. It's a gamble. Nuke Sector 1.
BSG (Cally)
SP makes it more likely you'll hit the civvie? Yeah, I'm thinking just close your eyes and hit the button.
BSG (Doc)
Okay. Nuke Sector 1
BSG
Yes, nuuuuuke iiiiit. Nuuuu-- Oh, wait, those were orders. Let's get to it!
Die roll: 8. KILL THEM ALL! All contents of the sector are destroyed. That's one basestar, five raiders, one heavy raider and civilian ship A, which contained: 1 Population. Only thing missing was a viper.
Oh, and a raptor. Cottle's never seen a nuclear explosion before. Why not get closer to the action? Cottle's crisis card is:

Grand Poo-Bah Cottle, when you're ready, please post your choice.

Ugh. I don't feel good about the skill check, but losing Fuel might be a worse risk.
My fellow Galacticans - opinions?
BSG (Starbuck)
I propose option 1, and tank it.
BSG (Cally)
I can help a lot with the skill check, particularly if anyone else has some Blue to play.
if we go with the die roll, I can help with that too.

Only thing missing was a viper.All things considered, that's not a bad outcome. A decoy would have been ideal. But population is our most abundent resource right now. And we cleared a VERY cluttered sector. I expect we will hear the whining of a certain chrome ex-president.
Doc, ya did a good job there.
