Hee. I just have to interject to say that from the lurkers' seats, this is all very exciting. What will happen next?

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

I have no cards, so I'm leaning towards a roll also.
Ya, that's what I was looking at. And the good Doctor can only help a little.

Game Master. Roll the bone, if you please.

Oh god, humanity's fate cast upon the die.

The humanity! Wait, that sounds weird in this context...

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

BSG

Boomer has chosen the die roll, and passed on interrupts,

Roll: 5. Pass. No ships for you.

The rest of the card states:

Cylon Activation: Raiders. The basestar, incensed that you thwarted its plans, disgorges two raiders.

Jump Prep: Yes.

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

BSG

Boomer has conducted a Recon mission to finish her turn, and opted to send the Crisis Card to the bottom of the deck.

move out and draw fire

BSG

I fire at the basestar. Twice.

BSG

You really don't. You get a single action on your turn. If you're XO'd and you don't move, then you get two actions. You could XO Boomer, and she could fire at the basestar twice.

What would you like to do? (If it involves firing at basestars, I will also ask you to pass or play on Strategic Planning interrupts.)
