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

Aim for the big one with all the pointy things. The one with the swarm of little ones around it. And roll the die well!

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?

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.

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

BSG (Cally)

SP makes it more likely you'll hit the civvie? Yeah, I'm thinking just close your eyes and hit the button.

Okay. Nuke Sector 1

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

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:

Ugh. I don't feel good about the skill check, but losing Fuel might be a worse risk.

My fellow Galacticans - opinions?

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.

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.
