Chief Chip 'n' Dale is once again free to roam the halls! He roams them in the direction of the Hangar Deck.

The Cylons were thwarted in that check, but they will take their revenge in the activation. With the DC-0, there are raiders in Sectors 1, 4 and 6. The order of activation could matter for 1 and 6, but not for 4, so let's start there. They destroy the civilian ships B and G! Their contents were:

SS Brachiosaurus: 1 Population
SS Gigantoraptor: 2 Population

The last of the Three Amigos slides itself over to Sector 5.

Pradmiral Zarek, shall we now activate Sector 1 or Sector 6?

We're doing Sector 6 first, and Kat has something in mind. She plays Run Interference 3. The first four raiders all miss! That still leaves two, which go after the RSV:

Raider 5: 5. Hit! But Kat plays an Evasive Manoeuvre 1!
Raider 5a: 4. Miss.
Raider 6: 2. Miss.

Clearly they need reinforcements. The raiders in Sector 1 move to join them. That concludes Zarek's most entertaining turn. Kat's cards are going out. Kat, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Administrative note: Zarek's card draw exhausted the Leadership deck. I've reshuffled the discards.

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

BSG ("Chief" Galen Tyrol)

Dear Gods! That was a lot. Thanks to PrAdmiral for going the extra parsec to get me out!

I suppose we should give thanks that the ships were population, which we have the most of, as creepy as it sounds to say it.

And after all of that, we still didn't get a jump icon!

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

BSG (Kat)

Oh now that's not fair. Even my special explodey ability will only take out five of these raiders. Any ideas?

I do have an xo.

BSG(President Boom)

Well, five less Raiders is five less Raiders. Maximum Firepower would be almost as good. Or you could XO the Chief to repair a bunch of RSVs, or me to hit the Engine Room or Main Batteries.

Or the other nuke?

As much as I'd love an XO to fix shit, hell, it's my job, I think we need offense, to knock down the bread warmers.

BSG (Kat)

Well, this is the sector with the most hardware and if I stay here I end up in sickbay anyway on account of needing my pills so I'm going to take the 'spoldey express to guarantee five of these frakkers go down with me. I sacrifice myself for the good of the fleet.
