Galactica, Apollo. Could someone send a raptor to get me, please? It's cold out here in the vacuum of space and I'm finding it hard to breath.

Also, no one start singing Space Oddity, you got it? That goes double for you, Dad.

You know, I know you all are playing BSG for your own amusement, but I must say, for some reason, I find all these posts extremely entertaining.

Carry on...

good to know. Much better than "will that game ever finish, it's annoying the heck out of me".

OK, I know this isn't the kind of edge-of-the-seat action that everyone was hoping for, but for my turn I will move to Command and launch 2 vipers out of the aft launch tube into Sector 6.

That puts 3 RSVs in that sector with the two civvie ships, which means that we will have to get multiple Raider activations before jumping in order for the civvie ships to be hit.

Then, if my crisis card doesn't have a jump icon and we're still here, Baltar can either activate the Vipers and move them, or replace me in weapons and start taking potshots at the Raiders.

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

The civvies are in Sector 5, I assume that's where you want the Vipers?

Meanwhile, here is your crisis card:

Witch Hunt (Skill Check 10 YG)

It has a card attached to it from Boomer. Inside it reads, "She turned me into a newt!"

We will pause for interrupts (IC and SR). You have twelve hours to play or pass.
