Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

:: crackle of radio for fleet wide announcement ::

:: sound of shot glass hitting the table, with sigh of drawing a long slug ::

Ladies and gentlemen of the fleet. This is Galactica Actual. Lately, we've had a tough row to hoe. The old man being executed. A very long battle with the Cylons. Finding a fraking skin job walking around us!! But there is some hope. We will persevere. With that, I have some great news, some good news, and some bad news.

GREAT: We have jumped a distance of THREE! At this rate, we will only need one more jump, plus the final jump, and be home free!

GOOD: This huge jump only burned one fuel!

BAD: We have landed in the middle of a fraking ambush! BATTLESTATIONS!

Communications will be hitting your inbox with all the details. May the gods be with us.

Galactica Actual, out.

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

BSG (Helo)

Of course when I decide to land back on Galactica we jump into an ambush.

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

The fleet jumps into a Cylon Ambush! The forecast is for 'splosions, I approve. Of course, last jump cycle we had every remaining civvie on the board and they all survived, so who knows how this one will turn out?

That concludes Tigh's turn. Helo chose to land his assault raptor, so he starts his turn on Galactica and gets his full card draw. Helo, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

I can launch myself and play an XO. Anybody got a bright idea what you'd do with an xo?

Viper Reserves: 0

Should that be more than 0? Like 7?

Does the President have any means to boost morale?

If not, I'm happy to move to weapons and go "pew pew" on sector 1.

Our wings are not tired

BSG (Apollo)

Actually yes, if I can get an XO then I may have something I can do. It would help if we also have a plan.

I'm afraid, I have no plans.

BSG (Helo)

I am planless as well. Not accusing anyone, just asking- is it possible we could have two cylons?

oops I just remembered I have two mutiny cards so I should probably play one or risk being brigged. That means no XO if I'm also going to get into the sky right now.
