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?
BSG (Baltar)
Engine Room?
BSG
Cally's cards are going out. Cally, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
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.
BSG (Zarek)
I'd really like to damage at least one of them so that a basestar activation isn't doubly brutal.
BSG (Cally)
I think holding out till 4 is still on the table
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?
BSG (Zarek)
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.

It is on! I have COs from Zarek. He activates Weapons Control in the general direction of Sector 1. Will his bravado go unassisted? No, Cally plays a Strategic Planning 4. Again. Is it enough?
Die roll: 5 + 2 = 7. Hit! And it does: Structural Damage.
Zarek follows up by firing at the basestar in Sector 2. Everyone passes on interrupts.
Die roll: 4. Miss.
Well, now he's pissed. Clearly this is someone's fault, and Zarek is determined to find out who. Cally's crisis card is:
Interrogation

Admiral Zarek, when you're ready, please post your choice.
