Well, this is simple. I will Activate Communications twice and move civilians B, C, and E into Sector 4. That means I get the manifests for all 3, right?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

BSG (Romo)

Er, I would look at them before moving them. If there's a 0 Pop in there, you don't want to protect it.

All the civvies are now huddled protectively with Kat in Sector 4. Wait up a moment while I look up which attack card adds the most raiders in Sector 4. ...Huh. We have a few options there. But alas, this is not one of them. Kat's crisis card is:

Review Galactica's Log

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

BSG (Kat)

I can help a lot but wow Zarek's handwriting looks like hieroglyphics to me. Any chance we could get a committee in here to help me investigate? I'd rather risk the partial pass than throw away more cards than we have to.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

I convene a committee for an open and transparent fleet. I play a IC-3!
