Well, the One God may have made me perfect, but he didn't bless me with executive authority. So, given that those resources are dipping towards the red, I will have my lovely assistants persuade Helo to sacrifice for the future.

In other words, Stay Right Here and Steal Helo's miracle token.

BSG

The Hamburglar Cultar strikes again! He now holds three miracle tokens. Who will stand against his crime spree? I think we can find someone. Baltar's crisis card is:

The Guardians Of the Galaxy
Cylon Attack

That concludes Baltarnate's turn. Hoshi's cards are going out. Admiral Hoshi, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

BSG (Adm. Louis Hoshi)

Holy schnikes! That's a lot of crap in the air.

OK. We've known this day was coming. We've been training for this. We can do this.

(grabs manual on how to be an Admiral in a Cylon Attack)

BSG

Hoshi has read up on The Idiot's Guide to Battlestars and believes he has the gist of it. Step 1: panic! (I may be editorialising a little.) Instead of moving, Hoshi declares a Critical Situation 5. He uses the action to launch a nuke at the basestar in Sector 1! The die roll may be modified by an SP. Everyone, please pass or play.

pass

Now I'm agreeing with Apollo. Maybe he is human.

nope, definitely not human. Just maybe not planning to destroy you all. Maybe.

BSG (Apollo)

Pass. Remember we don't want to destroy that basestar, only damage it.

BSG (Adm. Louis Hoshi)

Pass. Remember we don't want to destroy that basestar, only damage it.

Yup. I am launching the low yield, tactical nuke, just as it says on page 2,832 in the manual.

BSG

Everyone passes on interrupts. Let's see if this really is the tactical nuke.

Die roll: 4. Basestar destroyed!

Thanks to the special rule from The Guardians, we are now down 1 nuke, 1 basestar, 1 raptor and 1 Morale.

Well, that didn't make things much better. There's only one thing for it: Moar Panic! For his regular action, Hoshi declares a State of Emergency 6. Food falls by 1, and now everyone gets either a move or an action. Hoshi goes first. Everyone else, you can send me COs for your orders if you wish.

And I have some orders here from Hoshi. Let's see... Ok, we're going to continue with that whole panic theme: Fleeeeee! Hoshi reveals one of his loyalty cards:

YOU ARE A CYLON - CAN REDUCE THE JUMP TRACK

Bad Admiral, no biscuit. Oh, wait, he's going to pick up a super crisis. ALL THE BISCUITS! But first, he discards down to 3 cards. He tosses:

Consolidate Power 2
Iron Will 0
Declare Emergency 3
Quick Thinking 0
Launch Scout 2
A Second Chance 5
Establish Network 0
Repair 1
Scientific Research 3

There's a power vacuum at the top! Which will be filled by everyone's favourite pilot, Karl "Helo" Agathon. Helo, Hoshi has left some lovely parting gifts for you: The Admiralty, 1 nuke and his dog-eared copy of The Idiot's Guide to Battlestars. With some rather interesting notation on page 2,832. Oh, and he also passes you his unrevealed loyalty card. Wear it in good health.

That finishes Hoshi's SoE action. Unlike an XO, when a Cylon reveals under these circumstances, we continue resolving the SoE. Apollo, you're up next. You may either move or take an action. When you're ready, please post your orders.

Oh, one last comment: because Hoshi played a CS this round, no one can play an XO for their action. Carry on.

BSG (Apollo)

I TOLD YOU.

I TOLD YOU OVER AND OVER.

I SHOULD HAVE EXECUTED HIM TWICE.

TWICE.

TWICE TWICE TWICE TWICE AND ALSO TWICE.
