Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

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

BSG

Didn't I claim in my first post-haste jump where we lost population, that it was the Olympic Carrier? Therefore, this card is null and void. poof!

Well, that's the problem. You left it behind, all those jumps ago... But there it is, back on your DRADIS, claiming that they managed to evade the Cylons and have just caught up. But now their Comms has gone dead and they're approaching the Fleet. Is it a trick?

Baltar has played a Scientific Research-3. I have COs from all players. Were the Cylons successful?

Destiny: 2 cards
Boomer: no cards
Adama: …8 cards!
Roslin: no cards
Baltar: 1 card
Apollo: 1 card

Outcome:

Yellow 3
Green 2
Green 2
Green 2
Green 2
Green 3
Green 3
Green 4
Green 5
Red 2
Purple 2
Purple 3

Tally: 28 - 5 = 23. Pass. A lot. The fleet survives!

That concludes Apollo's turn. Boomer, I'm sending you your cards. When you're ready, please post your move and action.

Administrative note: Boomer's card draw has exhausted the Engineering deck. I've reshuffled the discards.

move out and draw fire

BSG

I was just so excited to be out of the brig and able to play more than one card!

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

BSG

Dude! Holy Frak! I wasn't expecting that. Awesome!

MOVEMENT Stay in Weapons. ACTION Fire on that Crystal Meth MoFo in Sector 1 INTERRUPT I play my purple jobber that gives a boost to the die roll to hopefully blow that puppy out of our area.

One little escape from certain death and you'd think he's started mainlining the red cordial. (For those who are interested, that was a Purple jobber-4 that Boomer played.) Ok, Galactica fires on the basestar:

Roll: 6 + 2 = 8. Hit! Let's check out the damage:

Disabled Weapons. This basestar is no longer able to fire at Galactica. It can still launch raiders and heavy raiders.

Crisis time! Your crisis is:

Crippled Raider
Current player's choice

Boomer, when you are ready, please post whether you choose the skill check or die roll.

I'm afraid if we fail we lost! I'm leaning towards a roll. Humans, what do you think?
