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

Administrative note: Hoahi's card draw exhausted the Treachery deck, for the third time this game. I've reshuffled the discards.

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

BSG (Leoben)

I am reasonably certain that either Helo or Cottle is a cylon.

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

BSG (Toasty Hoshi)

MOVE: Cylon Fleet.

ACTION: Activate Raiders.

Sit back and enjoy the show, campers. Should be some mighty fine entertainment. I see 2 Civillians going down, and hopefully some red shirted ships too!

Some days, it's good to be a Cylon.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I am reasonably certain that either Helo or Cottle is a cylon.

What makes you say that?

Our wings are not tired

BSG (Cottle)

I'm curious what I've done that makes you think I'm a metallic humanoid?

Well, we know Apollo isn't one.

I'm not sure secrecy rules will permit me to expose my thought process.

BSG (Cain)

Oh. Oh oh oh. I forget that you're a very good Cylon detector because very often you know what Destiny plays.

In any case, I've been accusing Helo for ages, so that's not news. Let's remember that we could execute him with a high enough Admiral Quarter's check.

My turn is coming up, and, as I suspected, pretty much all the damage has already been done, so I don't know that a Blind Jump is our best move after all. Does anyone have a plan if I'm able to XO Baltar to activate FTL? If I don't get an XO, I don't know, maybe we kill Helo for kicks.

Oh, let's not be too hasty. First off, the raiders in Sector 1 destroy the remaining civvies, which contained:

Civilian ship C: 1 Population
Civilian ship D: 0 Population

Given the number of ships you've lost, you've been pretty fortunate about which ones have bought it. So far you've lost a 2 Pop ship, four 1 Pop ships and both decoys.

Next, the remaining raiders get a turn. Let's start in Sector 5, where they can fire at two remaining vipers:

Raider 1: 6. Viper damaged!
Raider 2: 3. Miss.
Raider 3: 6. Viper damaged!

With the remaining vipers out of the way, the remaining raiders try their hand at hitting battlestars!

Raider 4: 8. Hit!
Raider 5: 5. Miss.

Let's do Sector 6 next, with 3 raiders:

Raider 1: 8. Hit!
Raider 2: 7. Miss.
Raider 3: 1. Miss.

Finally, Sector 4. We have two raiders, and Scar, who fires twice.

Raider 1: 6. Miss.
Raider 2: 4. Miss.
Scar 1: 4. Miss.
Scar 2: 2. Miss.

Two hits! I have no COs. Hoshi, as current player it's your choice. Do they land on Pegasus, on Galactica or one on each?

(For these keeping track at home, now that the skies are clear of Colonial vessels, a raider activation will see the battlestars fired upon 14 times.)
