Well, one way or another, the game is almost done. Just remember, don't use all the gas on the jump. Save a couple, so we can go out for pizza n beer after.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
BSG (Romo)
You don't burn Fuel on the final jump, unfortunately.
I hope you all burn up and die, though.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
BSG (Kat)
I'm getting out of here!
I land my Raptor and run to FTL Control where I play RI-5 to guarantee that when I Push the Button the entire fleet arrives safely.

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

Kat lands her assault raptor! That costs a card. I'm guessing it won't be the RI-5. She pushes the button! There is a die roll; if the result is less than 7, the fleet will lose 3 Population and it will fall to 0. However, thanks to Kat's Hotshot ability, the discard of the Run Interference 5 guarantees a result of:
2 + 5 = 7. Pass!
Led by Galactica, Pegasus and the Demetrius, the fleet successfully jumps to Earth! However, there is one last hurdle to clear, that of Personal Goals. Are there any yet unfulfilled among the crew?
There is one. Chief Tyrol has the Personal Goal Sacrifice. The condition on that one is that there be at least six vipers damaged or destroyed. If any of you were wondering how a crew including the repair machine of Chief Tyrol could have so many vipers on the blink, there you are. In fact, This condition has been fulfilled for 14 turns, Chief just never quite seemed to get around to revealing it. The cost is:
1 Fuel
All resources remain above 0. Reaching a Distance further than any other crew has ever travelled, and with a final jump cycle stretching for 13 turns, the humans have reached their destination.
HUMANS WIN!

Good game, humans! I ALMOST HAD YOU. (Literally, if Zarek had failed to raise Morale twice [possibly even once], I would have won.)

Oh. My. Gods. I didn't think we would make it. Yes, that double pump on morale saved us. I thought for sure we were done for. Great job everyone!!
Tons of Kudos to our amazing GM, for keeping us on task and entertained! Thank you BillyTea!
