Only Civvie G is unprotected. An XO to you could move one RSV to protect it.
But in general our civvies are pretty well protected, and there are only 2 Raiders on the field. The basestars are the bigger problem because they make more Raiders and shoot at us.
BSG (Hot Dog)
When it seems like a good idea I'm poised to open a can of whoop ass as well.
BSG (Zarek)
I am hoping that doesn't become necessary. If we can hold out for one more jump icon, we can get out of here.
Would the Engine Room be a good strategy? Just ensure a jump icon now and push the button on the next turn?
BSG (Romo)
Unfortunately I don't draw XOs. I could move to CIC and go fishing for repair cards but I wouldn't be able to play one until I received an XO.
BSG (Zarek)
Do you have 2 cards to burn in the Engine Room maybe?
BSG (Romo)
yeah OK. Since I need to go to bed (I have to be at work at 4 frakking am tomorrow) I will take your suggestion and keep the game moving along.
I move to the Engine Room and Discard TI-0 and LS-2 to Activate the Engine Room.

Administrative note: Romo's card draw exhausted the Tactics deck. I've reshuffled the discards.
Romo activates the Engine Room! His crisis card is guaranteed to have a jump icon. As it happens, it was in an obliging mood anyway. I hope that doesn't mean you've overloaded the engine or something. Romo's crisis card is:
Sabotage Investigated
Skill Check (9 PB)
Possible interrupts: IC, RO, ASC, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Hot Dog plays first, Romo last.
BSG (Apollo)
I cannot help at all. I have nothing of those colors now.
BSG (Zarek)
His crisis card is guaranteed to have a jump icon. As it happens, it was in an obliging mood anyway.
CURSES.
Wow, this check is a jerk. I can help a little or a lot. I would like to save one of my cards, but we really need to pass this check!
BSG (Cally)
Thanks to my lovely weakness (yes, I'm really hating it), I can help a LOT, or none.
(this is why I was so hesitant to release cards, Zarek. Not that they are fab cards, but I can never play one, so card management with this many palyers is a chore).
