I had some excellent COs from Apollo, but that was before the JR-2, which may have changed things somewhat. I will therefore ask for comfirmation of his play.

Everyone has played:

Reactor Critical: 3 PRB

Destiny: 2 cards
Baltar: 1 card
Hoshi: 1 card
Helo: 0 cards
Apollo: 1 card

Let's see if it's enough:

Launch Scout 2
Evasive Manoeuvre 1
Install Upgrades 0
Repair 1
Repair 2

Tally: 6 - 0 = 6. Pass! However, before we resolve that, there are a couple f other matters to deal with. The IU-0 allows Apollo to draw 2 Blue cards. That part's easy. But this check was made Reckless. Will the crew get away with it? The top card of the Treachery deck is:

Violent Outbursts 4

As its value is greater than 0, there is no further effect. The crew is Reckless but lucky.

Now we can turn to the check, and even though the check passes, we have parting gifts! Apollo draws 2 Treachery cards, going out now.

Finally, three raiders launch from the basestar. That concludes Apollo's turn. Baltar's cards are going out. Baltar, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

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

BSG (Baltar)

So I could XO Helo to do the pew-pew or I could take a potshot at the basestar from CIC. I'm not sure about the former because we want the Raiders to keep busy moving toward the decoy, and I don't want to get Helo shot out of the sky before Civvie A is actually threatened.

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

BSG (Admiral Hoshi)

I'd be in favor of someone in Pegasus. So, potshots at the Basestar would be good. Keep that motha from birthin' more baddies.

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

I vote for someone moving to Pegasus.

I discard IW-0 to move to Pegasus CIC and fire at the basestar.
