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

It's a revolutionary new method of killing humans, just doing nothing, it's all the rage, I promise. Give it a try.

It's worked pretty well for them so far this game.

We'll just atrophy and die, pinkie promise.

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

Hey! I worked hard to lower their resources!

True, true. But not nearly as hard as they did.

Helon draws 1 Red and 1 Treachery. Cards sent. He then moves to the Cylon Fleet and activates raiders. The order of activation matters, so Helon, do you wish to activate Sector 1 or Sector 3 first?

Ok, I have orders. We do Sector 3 first. The SS Annihilated is destroyed, for a loss of 1 Population. The other two raiders move to Sector 4, with civvie B.

The raiders in Sector 1 then activate and move to Sector 6, chasing the closest civvies. That concludes Helon's turn. Cottle's cards are going out. Doc Cottle, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

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

BSG (Cain)

Okay, so. Um. If Cottle had an XO and we had some SPs, we could survive this, but barring that, I'm not sure how we get out of this alive. I suggest Comms because then at least we know which is the 2 Pop ship that will kill us, and we can sacrifice the other one. I don't think there's a way to save both of them. But then we'll also be down to 1 Morale.

Oh no I saw the Raider in Sector 3. Wow, we are hosed.

Go to Main Batteries and fire on Sector 4? You could save us for one more turn.

I really don't see a way out of this. We were so close. If we hadn't gotten that other Cylon Attack.

I have a question out to BT at the moment, but I might be able to stop raider activations this turn.
