Ooh, I was hoping for this. Not that I have anything against all of you, but now we get to do some cool stuff. Let's see what we have.
- Population falls by 1. That means that Hot Dog's special ability kicks in. He draws the top 3 Red cards and keeps two of them. Cards going out now.
- Baltar draws a mutiny card. Now Zarek's special ability kicks in. He looks at the top 2 mutiny cards and chooses which one goes to Baltar. Cards going out now.
- Baltar also draws a Treachery card. Nothing else has to happen here; the new Treachery is always cool.
- Finally, the raiders activate, but no one cares because the jump track reaches the end and the fleet jumps! Destinations will go out to Admiral Zarek once we've completed the other decisions.
BSG (Zarek)
Frakking Destiny. But that is an exciting loss, at least! All these cards to go out!
BSG
It is indeed an exciting loss, and there's one last twist. Hot Dog drew three Red cards and is then supposed to discard one of them. But at this point, Athena can use her special ability, For Love (she did it aaall FOOOR LOOOOOOOVE). This allows her to reduce another player's discards by one card by drawing a Treachery card for herself. She opts to do so; Hot Dog keeps all three Red cards! Athena's Treachery is going out now.
BSG
After al this, jumping feels a bit anticlimactic. But it happens, and Admiral Zarek has chosen your destination. It is:
Gas Giant
1 Distance
Zarek has opted not to exchange a viper for Fuel. That concludes Baltar's turn. Romo's cards are going out. Romo Lampkin, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
BSG (Baltar)
Wow! That was a lot of stuff happening.
kudos to our awesome GM for keeping up with it all!

End-of-turn summary. Note that Hot Dog is still in Sector 6. He is piloting an assault raptor, which has its own FTL drive. Hot Dog may therefore opt to stay in space when the fleet jumps, and he has done so.

BSG (Romo Arigato)
I have no XO and I'm open to suggestions.
I'm off to work, I'll take my turn when I get back.
BSG (Cally)
Nothin needs fixing. Maybe move to a location in prep of battle? Do you need more cards? Scout crisis deck?
BSG (Apollo)
I agree with Cally. You could maybe join Athena on Pegasus, be in Main Batteries ahead of any future XO's?
