Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Back to the sky for me, I will launch in an Assault Raptor into Sector 5 and move to Sector 4

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

Kat is following her own path to Sector 4. Her crisis card is:

Strange Beacon
Skill Check (13 PRB)

First skill check of the game! Possible interrupts: IC, RO, ASC, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Chief plays first, Kat last.

BSG

I now have everyone's play:

Strange Beacon: 13 PRB

Destiny: 2 cards
Chief: Scientific Research 5
Romo: Unorthodox Plan 4
Zarek: Launch Scout 2
Kat: Strategic Planning 3, Combat Veteran 4

Running tally: 18 + Destiny. Is it enough? Destiny reveals:

Guts and Initiative 2
Executive Order 1

Tally: 20 - 1 = 19. Pass! Kat surprises no one by removing the raiders in Sector 3. The board is now raider-free!

That concludes Kat's turn. Chief's cards are going out. Chief Tyrol, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
