Our wings are not tired

BSG (Cottle)

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

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

Well, we know Apollo isn't one.

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

BSG (Leoben)

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

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

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.

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

BSG

My turn is coming up, and, as I suspected, pretty much all the damage has already been done

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.)

"...and then Legolas and the Hulk destroy the entire Greek army." - Penny Arcade

BSG(Doctor Say What?)

Well, we definitely want to execute the Get The Hell Out Of Here maneuver one way or another still since:

a raider activation will see the battlestars fired upon 14 times

is no fun at all.

Yeah that's bad. If I get an XO, I am XOing you. If not, we're Blind Jumping the frak out of here.

BSG (Toasty Hoshi)

I love the look of Colonial Debris fields in the morning! When the local star shines just right, you get these really pretty glints off the bits of metal. Really does make a Cylon shed a tear. Only in space. Can't get this type of view on the planet. Stupid gravity.

eta: CO's have been sent, but they have a question, which is why I didn't post answer of what gets pegged. BT can post if the answer is what I think it is. I'm stuck at work, so responses might be slow.

BSG

Hoshiba's question has been answered. Galactica gets hit twice. And the damage is...

Admiral's Quarters
Hangar Deck

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