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

BSG (Kat)

I have an SP but what if that civvie is a party ship, full of morale?

Of course, on a raider activation, that civvie is dead anyway.

I'll go ahead and play SP-4.

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

BSG

We have SP. Let's see just how much devastation the Pradmiral wreaks:

Die roll: 7 + 2 = 9. Destroy them all! The entire sector is obliterated, for 1 basestar, 3 raiders, 2 heavy raiders - and the CSS Fukutitan. Its contents are:

0 Population

Both decoys have now been destroyed. Even worse, Galactica has no nukes left, none at all! Zarek is a man of simple tastes, and if Galactica has no nukes left, what use is it? Zarek's crisis card is:

Abandon Galactica
Admiral's Choice

I would invite Zarek to make his choice, but with all the nukes gone, there's only 1 viable option. Food falls by 1 and Zarek draws 2 Treachery.

A lack of basestars means the activation has no effect. However, this crisis does bring you your very first jump icon of the cycle! I'm sure you're all very proud. That concludes Zarek's turn. Kat's cards are going out. Kat, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

BSG (Kat)

The bad news is, I did not draw an XO. The good news is... well first I'm going to play CS-3 and attack the raiders in my sector....

Kat unleashes the fury! Well, the annoyance, at least.

Die roll: 4. Hit!

For her action, I have COs:

Play State of Emergency 6

Ladies and gentlemen, it is a real live emergency! This is not a drill! Every player in turn may either move or take an action (not both), starting with Kat. Her order are:

Move to Sector 6

Chief is next. Romo and Zarek, you can put in COs if you wish.

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

BSG ("Chief" Galen Tyrol)

I MOVE: to Hangar Deck!

Might not have been an XO, but, ya did kill a toaster, and I did get out of Sickbay. All in all, not bad in my book!!

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

BSG (Romo)

Cool, I activate Caprica and draw Crisis Cards.

Two moves so far. But things are about to get interesting, as Romo is up next.

Edit: or, alternatively, 30 seconds ago. Cards are going out now. Romo, when you're ready, please post your choice.

Space looks a bit too empty. How about a Raiding Party ?

How about it indeed? The fleet has been struck by a:

Raiding Party
Cylon Attack

Your precious jump icon! The one it took you ten turns to acquire, it has been stolen from your grasp! But first, we have a raider activation. In Sector 5 there's 1 raider, 1 RSV and two civvies. In Sector 6 there's 3 raiders, 1 RSV and Kat in an assault raptor. Kat chooses the order of activation. Kat, shall we resolve Sector 5 or Sector 6 first? You can also send me COs for EMs and RIs.
