Admiral Grease Monkey! Congratulations, Cally. There are two nukes and they are all yours.

Huh? But? I'm just a ... Well, I suppose that's what happens when a grease monkey bosses around RSV's. So be it.

Does that conclude the previous turn? Is it my turn yet?

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

Too slow! Prepare for all Cally's plans to be revealed!

Move: FTL Control
Action: Activate FTL Control

1 Population is at risk! Cally plays a Strategic Planning 5 on the die roll.

Die roll: 7 + 2 = 9. Pass! The entire fleet makes it. We clear the board, except for Athena's assault raptor. She opts to stay in space.

We have one last thing to deal with, Thirty Three's Relentless Pursuit. No basestar or civvie has been destroyed since this rule came into effect. (In fact, one civvie was destroyed by the raider activation on Thirty Three, but the special rule only comes into effect after the new ships have been placed.) Thirty Three has been reshuffled into the crisis deck.

Destinations have been sent to Admiral Cally (get used to it). When you're ready, please post your choice.

If only the Gods were so kind. Our choices are slim. I have a question for BT, and then I can post the results.

BSG (Adm Cally)

:: taps mic to fleet intercom ::

Ladies and gentlemen of the fleet. This is your new Admiral. Admiral Cally. We were in a tight scrape there. We found a traitor in our midsts. We had a lot of enemies surrounding us. The good news is, we jumped without loss to any of the fleet. The sad news, in the haste to jump, our FTL destination didn't get us far.

Tylium Planet
Distance: 1

We have the option of risking our last raptor to gain more fuel. I do not wish to do that, unless we have a SP to help with the role. Can anyone help?
