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.
BSG
Right then, everyone else passes on interrupts and the check begins.
Divisive Behaviour:
10 YGP(B)
