Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

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

Distance increases to 10. One more jump will see the fleet safely home! Zarek has opted to risk two vipers to increase Fuel. Eveyone passes on interrupts:

Die roll: 3. Fail! Two more vipers are damaged! I certainly hope you won't need them or anything. In unrelated news:

Zarek's crisis card is:

Jammed Assault
Cylon Attack

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

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

BSG (Kat)

What a time to draw no XO. I'm thinking I should move to Sector 4 and unleash Maximum Firepower. Any better ideas?

AUGH.

Yeah, that sounds as good as anything.

ETA: Actually, I assume you mean Sector 2?

BSG (Kat)

naw, I really have it in for Civvie B.

I think I was looking at 4 raiders so I thought 'sector 4'.

Seeing as we are nearing the end game I'll wait for the Chief to weigh in.

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

Going wild on Sector 2 sounds like a good idea.

Well, now I have to punish you. Why, Chief? Why do you make me punish you?

I have made the punishment retrospective. Zarek's crisis card was originally going to be a Water Shortage with jump icon.

I move to Sector 2 and play Maximum Firepower 3 to attack 4 times!
