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

BSG (Baltar)

Unfortunately, my hand is absolutely useless for our current situation, so my best move is to stay put and fire at the basestar.

I'm not a planner, though.

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

BSG (Helo)

I do not have any planning advice.

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

Everyone passes on interrupts. Baltar shoots!

Die roll: 3. Pegasus Damaged!

He scores! For the basestar. And he hits... Pegasus CIC. Well of course he does. Baltar goes to Sickbay! Well, darn. Apparently Baltar was running an illicit Twinkie operation from Pegasus. (I know! Who ever heard of such a thing?) With his announced absence, the civilians react with:

Food Hoarding in the Fleet
President's Choice

President Apollo, when you're ready, please post your choice.

ugh. I feel like we have to go for Option 1.

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

I dunno. Option 1 has the big chance of adding more resource loss. Awesome Game Master, what's the odds that civvie ship has a resource?

So far two civvies have been destroyed, one of which was a decoy. The chance that any given remaining civvie is the other decoy is 1 in 10.

So that's a 90% chance of additional resources lost with option 1.

If you fail the die roll. So it's actually a 27/80 chance, or 9/80 with an SP.

Gotta love math.

Well, it wouldn't be a crisis card if it had good options. I suppose a 27/80th of a chance of 2nd resource is better than 100% loss of two resources.
