Thrive to spite them

BSG (Helo)

It seems like a lot of cards to ask people to use in order to pass with no effect.

I'm going to go with Option 2

I also want to apologize for being absetn and slow with the game. Work has ended up taking more out of me than I thought. I'm not actually working that many hours. I'm barely getting 40, it's just really really stressful crap going on.

Friday past was the Xbox One release, at my current position at Best Buy I was jugging a lot of stuff and do to scheduling problems there hasn't been enough coverage and I worked a lot. Not over 40 hours but some how it seems like it.

Yikes! No worries, I'm almost surprised you can stand to look at a monitor.

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

Helo has chosen option 2, and will discard 4 random skill cards. (No one else discards anything.) His discards are:

Launch Scout 2
Maximum Firepower 4
Scientific Research 4
Dradis Contact 0

Because these discards are random and were not selected by Helo, he does not draw a mutiny card from the DC-0 discard.

Next, the raiders activate. We have a few of them, and some will be firing at RSVs. Helo has opted to do the attacks first, and the raiders will activate in this order: S1, S4, S2, S3. First, the RSV in Sector 1 comes under fire!

Raider 1: 8. Viper destroyed! But Helo plays an Evasive Manoeuvre 2:
Raider 1a: 4. Miss.
Raider 2: 5. Viper damaged!

No one plays any more interrupts. The final raider destroys the CSS Boned, which reveals contents of:

0 Population

Lucky break! Now the raiders in Sector 4 start firing:

Raider 1: 1. Miss.
Raider 2: 4. Miss.
Raider 3: 5. Viper damaged!
However, there are no more raiders left to destroy the CSS Compromised. The remaining raiders move towards Sector 4.

Finally, the jump track advances. Isn't that nice? That concludes Helo's action-packed ratings-season turn. Cottle's cards are going out. Doc Cottle, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

1 miracle token

Not so much. Goose eggs across the board for me.

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

BSG (Toasty Hoshi)

Well. Sad that the civilian ship was empty. But, now y'all have choices. Shoot at things, or repair things, or move things around. Fun!

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

BSG (Leoben)

And you're afraid to XO anyone because anyone could be a cylon.

I'm crossing my fingers on this one. At least he has no Reveal power, if he's a Cylon.
