Apologies for the delay there. My fault. The result stands, two raiders destroyed (but not Scar). Apollo then uses his Forward Thinker ability to activate the Quorum Chamber. He draws one Quorum card and plays:

Unsavoury Connections

Apollo discards two cards randomly. They are:

All Hands on Deck 0
Evasive Manoeuvre 2

He then draws 2 Treachery and opts to raise Fuel by 1.

This turn has really dragged, which is mostly my fault. We need to pick up the pace. Which episode was best for unrelenting pace? The first one did pretty well, I think. Apollo's crisis card is:

Thirty Three
Cylon Attack

Raiders are about to activate, so pilots, get in your EM COs.

BSG

Right, prepare to feel the fury. Raiders activate! Apollo has opted to do Sector 4 first.

Scar 1: 4. Miss.
Scar 2: 8. Assault raptor destroyed! But Apollo plays an Evasive Manoeuvre 1. Scar shoots again:

Scar 2a: 4 - 2 = 2. Miss.

Next we have the raiders in Sector 6, who fire at the two RSVs:

Raider 1: 4. Miss.
Raider 2: 7. Viper damaged!
Raider 3: 5. Viper damaged!

No more EMs are forthcoming. That leaves the last raider free to destroy the CSS Ehrmentraut! Its contents were:

2 Population

The Ehrmentraut is large; it contains multitudes.

Next, we add some more ships. No more raiders though (boo). That concludes Apollo's turn. Athena has opted to draw 1 Green, 1 Red and 1 Blue. Athena, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

BSG (Hot Dog)

Ouch! Still at least the population hit is better than Morale or Fuel.

BSG (Zarek)

I'm glad we got a little more Fuel, but the 2-Pop hit stings when I want to jump REALLY early to get out of this mess. Preferably by the time Romo gets his turn.

BSG (Athena)

I know there are a lot out there that can hurt us and we need to take them down, any suggestions on how I can best help with that.

BSG (Athena)

I'm going to move to the Hanger Deck and into an assault raptor and launch Sector 6 and play Best of the Best.

BSG

Athena discards an Exploit Weakness 5 to reach the Hangar Deck. The real tragedy in the destruction of the CSS Ehrmentraut is that there is no one out there to witness this display of awesomeness. I have standing COs on SPs, everyone passes:

Die roll: 6. All raiders destroyed! There you have it folks, the fleet's Best of the Best is a Cylon. Some people are having a hard time coming to terms with this. Athena's crisis card is:

Divisive Behaviour
Skill Check (10 YGP)

Possible interrupts: IC, SR, RO, ASC, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Zarek plays first, Athena last.

BSG (Zarek)

I can help a lot on this check.

BSG

We have an interrupt! Athena plays Scientific Research 5. Blue is now positive for this check.

Once I've got everyone's interrupt plays, we'll go to the check. Meanwhile, I have some COs for play into the check itself. If Blue being positive changes your play, send me revised COs.
