Just a quick state-of-play: Cottle had put in COs for what he would do if XO'd; however, that was before Leoben and Baltar made their suggestions. In fairness, I've requested his confirmation as to what he'd like to do considering everyone's advice.
BSG (Cottle)
Sorry, I've been out all evening. I am going on the offensive.
I
move to Main Batteries and start firing! I also use an SP-3 to improve my odds.
BSG (Cain)
Attaboy!
(You should probably indicate which Sector you're firing on.)
(And what card you discard to get up here.)
BSG
All has been revealed in COs.
Cottle discards a Trust Instincts 0, and fires on Sector 3.
Die roll: 8 + 2 = 10. 4 raiders destroyed!
Shame it can only do one sector at a time. Meanwhile, the doughty crews of Command and Communications are irate at being thrown over for another vessel. They trusted you, Sherman! And now you have to pay. Baltar's crisis card is:
Labour Dispute
President's Choice
President Baltar, when you're ready, please post your choice.
BSG (Leoben)
ick. I think take the morale hit but both option do suck.
BSG(Doctor Depression)
Die roll: 8 + 2 = 10
(headdesk) Shoulda gone for the Jump.....
Anyway, I'm inclined to agree with Leoben. Any (non-toaster) dissent?
BSG (Cain)
Ugh, was really hoping for a jump icon. Take the Morale hit, we can't afford to lose Jump Prep right now. We've got to get to the end posthaste.
BSG (Toasty Hoshi)
I think take the morale hit but both option do suck.
Well, it's not called the 50/50 card. It is called a crisis card for a reason.
That said, I vote for option 2.
BSG
Looks like Hoshi's vote sealed the issue.
Morale falls by 2 (ouch).
That concludes Baltar's turn. Hoshi has opted to draw 1 Red and 1 Treachery for his variable card draw. Hoshi, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
