6. Miss.
Attack 3:
5. Miss.
Attack 4:
2. Miss.
Let the record show that Boomer couldn't hit the side of a barn basestar.
Next up: crisis!

Current player's choice.
Apollo, please post your choice when ready.

Gorrum it! Guess I'm not used to that red button. Raptors don't have them, y'know!

So... wait. You were just flying up to the basestar and making 'pew pew' noises while pointing at it? On the plus side, I think we know why it didn't bother shooting back.

Boomer to CAG Apollo. That's a tough one sir. But based on my observation here: omnis_audis " Gaming 1: You are likely to be eaten by a grue" Jun 8, 2009 8:47:51 am PDT failing might not be so bad. No clue what the -1 morale impact is like this early, as this is my first time playing and all.
As for the skill check. I'm afraid I am not able to help.

That's not how it works? FRAK! NOooo! Clearly I was doing SOMETHING! I did get a 5 & 6 in there. Those other two rolls might have been some 'pew pew' moments.

Baltar says: Of course as an expert on cylon identification I can help with this skill check... a little.
Don't worry, Boomer. This airlock with your name stenciled on it is just your personal launch tube.
BSG
Mdm President, those cards weren't mine. I played none. The two folks in vipers are clear of the extra negative card (assuming both deck cards were negative).
Apollo, I'm worried one or more of our leadership are bread burners.
BSG
Again with the YG checks. I can't help much.

Boomer, Apollo. Great shooting, you Raptor weenie. Change of plan. Engage your viper's "oscillation overthruster" and try and fly through the Basestar. Seriously, all vipers have oscillation overthrusters and you'll do this great micron electroscope effect thingie and then come out the other side. It'll be fine. Really.
Baltar, Apollo. Fire up the bunsen burner, we're about to give your test a try. Madam President? Admiral? Anyone care to be the first subject?
BSG I'm going to try the crisis, but I suggest we intentionally tank it. We've had a miraculous first round; we've nearly gotten through the turn without a single bad effect, so a -1 morale is sustainable. Plus, it will give us some insight as to the current loyalty of our leadership, which can't hurt. Also, I hate to discard ten cards as a group, if for no reason other than I don't particularly want to spend another entire turn fighting cylon raiders and crises with two cards in my hand.
