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

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

BSG (Zarek)

I discard PV-3 and kindly ask Cally to shoot me in the head and put me out of my misery.

Actually, I have some good news. Civvie G has offered itself up as a sacrifice. The 4 Raiders are going to go after it and kill it in two activations, whereas there's only 1 Raider near the bulk of the civvies.

Maybe I should take a couple potshots at the basestars to keep them at bay while we wait for jump icons?

Engine Room?

BSG (Zarek)

Engine Room is a possibility, but I want to reiterate that with our current situation, Population is less threatened than it was before. I think holding out till 4 is still on the table.

BSG (Apollo)

You have got to be kidding me. Wow.

Yeah, I think I agree with Zarek here. We are in bad shape. Potshots might be a reasonable tactic.

I'd really like to damage at least one of them so that a basestar activation isn't doubly brutal.

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

BSG (Cally)

I agree.

So? Potshots? Two of you are in firing positions. I'm thinking Weaps, to shoot at the basestars. Zarek, you are already there, which gives you two shots. One for each? Cripple them, and reduce what they barf out at us until we can jump?

That's the plan, yep. I hope it can be a bit more strategic.

BSG (Cally)

MOVE: to Command (in case we need to order those RSV's around, ready for an XO).

ACTION: Play an XO-1, and politely order my Admiral Zarek to blow shit up.

May the gods be with you.
