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.
BSG (Kat)
Ugh! Let's resolve Sector 6 first.
BSG
And by resolve, she means play Run Interference 4. All three raiders miss! Buck up, little raiders, you have reinforcements coming from Sector 1.
Then there's the lone raider in Sector 5, who fires:
Raider 1 and only: 4. Miss.
Good result for the humans, but more Cylons are on their way. We add ships to the board. This is an unusual situation, to resolve a Cylon attack card mid-turn. I shall post the current state of play in space to assist in people's plans.

Does anyone have a plan to help with my aim?
BSG ("Chief" Galen Tyrol)
I am plan less.
BSG(Admiral Brute Squad)
Well, let's try and avoid risking our remaining planes, shall we?
I Authorize Brutal Force to be used in Sector 6.
BSG (Romo)
This would be much easier if you people would just die.
BSG
This would be much easier if you people would just die.
Hey, maybe they will. The ABF comes with a die roll for that. First off, three raiders go poof. Will any humans join them? Everyone passes on interrupts:
Die roll: 4. Pass!
Ladies and gentlemen, that concludes our State of Emergency. It's been awfully exciting, and I hope none of you overdid it. We should probably get everyone checked. Kat's crissi card is:
Mandatory Testing
Skill Check (13 YG)
Possible interrupts: IC, SR, RO, ASC, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Chief plays first, Kat last.
BSG (Romo)
I vote to TANK.
