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.
BSG (Cottle)
Okay, I've gotten clarification and have also asked about secrecy. I can make it so that we don't have any Cylon activations this turn, but it will place another basestar on the board. What do you think?
BSG (Cain)
I figured out what card you had, and I think that could work. If we stop the Raider activation this turn, that gives Leoben a chance to clear Sector 4 of Raiders. On the next Raider activation the 1R and the 4R close in on the civvies. Then Baltar uses Comms to move the civvies a Sector away. The next Raider activation moves the Raiders back with the civvies, and then Hoshi kills us. Okay, well, we have to hope for fewer Raider activations. Of course, basestar activations will also hurt us, especially with two chances to be hit and lose Fuel (although we would target
Pegasus
to avoid that).
I say go for it. It's as good an option as any at this point. Maybe we'll get boarded.
BSG (Cottle)
I stay where I am and play a
Negotiation-5.
BSG (Cain)
I would suggest you move to Comms, actually, ready for an XO from Baltar.
BSG (Cottle)
Sounds good. I will
MOVE to Comms, then play my card

There are so many ways we can lose right now and a tiny set of possibilities that allow us to win. Let's see what happens.

It is indeed so, and I'm afreaid the next crisis card sits firmly on one side of that ledger. At least it's not another attack card. Just because having a Pradmiral worked out
so well
the last time, Cottle's crisis card is:
Declare Martial Law
