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

Cottle is last

Given he doesn't draw much in these colors... Doubt he will be of much use. Should make the reveal fun. Let's hope Destiny isn't on your side.

Cottle plays 1 card. Cards played:

All Hands on Deck 0
At Any Cost 4
Bait 0
Bait 0
Dradis Contact 0
Violent Outbursts 4

Tally: 8 - 4 = 4. Fail. The AHoD adds 4 points to the check, but it's still not enough. the last remaining viper is damaged; both assault raptors are destroyed.

Next, the Treachery in the check activates. The DC-0 adds 2 raiders to Sector 1, the B-0 adds 1 civilian ship to Sector 4 and the VO-4 adds Doc Cottle to Sickbay.

Small mercies: the basestar activation has no effect, and the jump track advances. That concludes Cottle's turn. Leoben has opted to draw 2 Yellow and 1 Blue. Leoben, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Yee Gads. The Humans don't have a lot of defenses now. Yikes.

Awesome!

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

BSG (Leoben)

Can I launch Raptors or do I have to be a pilot for that?

Neither. Raptors do scouting missions, not protection. (Unless they're converted to assault raptors.)

Given this answer, I have COs from Leoben: Move to the Hangar Deck and play a Repair 1 to fix 2 vipers.

Well, now the raptor pilots are feeling all kinds of neglected. Fortunately, I think we can come up with something else for them to do. Leoben's crisis card is:

Scouting for Water
Current Player's Choice

Leoben, when you're ready, please post your choice.

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

BSG (Cain)

Yeeeeah, we should take the Food hit.

I'm at a loss as to how to survive this cycle. Baltar, if you can take Leoben's miracle token, I can try to XO you to raise Pop, but that's not a guarantee. The other option is to move a couple civvies to Sector 5. The other option is to launch one Viper to Sector 5 and move it to Sector 4 so they have some protection. It only takes two more Raider activations to kill us, and we have two Cylons waiting to kill us.
