"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Apollo)

Ok, I'm going to go with that. I chose Option 2.

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

Fuel falls by 1, as Apollo fires up the ol' coal-fired Quorum machine. He draws 2 Quorum cards.

Next up, it took a while, but we finally get a raider activation. Hot Dog has opted to activate Sector 3 first, where three riaders fire at a single hapless viper.

Raider 1: 5. Viper damaged! No one plays any interrupts. Off it goes to the fix-it shop. The other two raiders move to Sector 4, for ringside seats as Scar unleashes the fury.

Scar 1: 5. Viper damaged! Again, no interrupts. Another RSV waiting for parts.
Scar 2: 5. Miss. Hot Dog's assault raptor saves him from becoming the third victim.

The remaining raiders all close in on the interesting sectors. Next, the jump track advances. As Hot Dog is the Mutineer, that means that he draws a mutiny card. He played a mutiny card earlier this turn, so he won't be brigged just yet. Zarek, as usual, gets a say in the mutinous feelings of the crew. Admiral Zarek, when you're ready, please send me your choice.

That concludes Hot Dog's turn. He still has 11 cards in hand and must discard one. Hot Dog, when you're ready, please post your discard.

BSG (Apollo)

Hmm. Ok, let's get Zarek his full draw. I move to Quorum Chambers and I play XO2 on Zarek.

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

BSG (Zarek)

Oh! I forgot that was a thing that needed to happen. Thanks for making it happen.

Er, should I fire at the basestar or try to thin out the Raider herd? There are so many Raiders I don't know where to attack, but that seems like a good thing to do. Can I hit Scar with Main Batteries? Also, does someone have a plan? That's the sector in most need of help.

BSG (Baltar)

I am planless, as suits my whimsical character.

Firing on the basestar seems reasonable. As does thinning out some Raiders. I guess we aren't in a good position to nuke anyone. I dunno.

BSG (Zarek)

Oh, I could totally nuke the basestar, unless we want to save those puppies for later. The Raiders are the more pressing issue at the moment, but hurting the basestar is always good.

Always nice to take out multiple targets with a nuke but the cylons are not co-operating with that.

Can I hit Scar with Main Batteries?

Yes, but the requirement remains the same. You need to roll a 7 or more to hit him. (He can then be one of the four raiders you destroy.)
