I'm all up in the law now, but damn it feels good to get my violence on.

Our wings are not tired

BSG (Apollo)

I XO Helo!

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

BSG

Don't forget to put in the value of the XO.

Help, you have received an XO. You may either move and take an action, or not move and take two actions. When you're ready, please post your orders.

Sorry about that XO-2!

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

BSG (Help)

I will move to Sector 4 and play Combat Veteran 4 to order 1 Viper to Sector 3 to Fire on 1 Raider

CV-4 activates an RSV three times; one RSV moves from Sector 5 to Sector 3, and may fire once.

Die roll: 8. Hit!

Apollo now uses his special ability to activate the Quorum Chamber. Quorum card sent. Apollo may now draw another one, or play one from his hand. Apollo, when you're ready, please post your orders.

Apollo decides that Louis Hoshi (Call sign: "Who?") has gone unremembered for too long! (No, seriously, who?) He plays Eulogy. Everyone gathers to hear nice words about someone, perhaps he was the leader of the Lib Dems. Morale increases by 1!

So all is well within the fleet, except for Helo shifting that RSV by himself. He's not union! There could be trouble. Apollo's crisis card is:

Labour Dispute
President's Choice

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

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

Option 1!!!

I think I have to go with OPTION 2

Option 2, recommended by none out of ten Cylons. Fuel falls by 1, and the jump track is set back one space!

Next, the basestars attack. With Pegasus destroyed, all hits will land on Galactica. Brace yourselves!

Basestar 1: 3. Miss.
Basestar 2: 1. Miss.

Lucky break for the humans there. That concludes Apollo's turn. Baltron starts his turn on the Resurrection Ship, so he draws just one card. Guess what he chose? If you guessed Treachery, you've been paying attention. Baltron, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Wait, one last item. Apollo finishes his turn on 14 cards, and must discard four. Check this out everyone, he put in COs! Quite possibly the first player to put in discard COs for the entire game. Apollo discards:

Iron Will 0
Trust Instincts 0
Launch Scout 2
Evasive Manoeuvre 1
