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

BSG

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!

BSG (Baltron)

Option 1!!!

Our wings are not tired

BSG (Apollo)

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

I move to Cylon Fleet and RELEASE THE HOUNDS. Er, activate Raiders, with Sector 3 first. Make way for Scar!

The raiders in Sector 3 start beating up on the lone RSV. Behold their skills!

Raider 1: 4. Miss.
Raider 2: 5. Hit!

Pilots of Galactica (Helo and Apollo), will either of you play an EM on this result, or allow the viper to meet its gruesome fate? You can also put in COs for any subsequent shots.

I will play an EM-1 on this.

I think it's an EM-1 in my hand, whatever the lowest value is.

BSG

It is an EM-1. Reroll!

Raider 2a: 2. Miss.
Raider 3: 4. Miss.
Raider 4: 3. Miss.
Raider 5: 8. Viper destroyed!

I still have no COs from Helo and Apollo. Does anyone play an EM?
