I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

DragonCon TV has a guy who does a killer Tigh impression. This was one of my favorite videos they did this year:

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

Emergency has been declared; the check passes for no effect. Let's wrap up the card.

Cylon: raiders. They move from Sector 1 to Sector 2.

Jump Prep: no. You're still stuck at the start space (waiting for Helo to catch up, no doubt).

This concludes Captain Apollo's turn. Chief Tyrol, I'm sending you your card draw. When you're ready, please post your move and action.

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

BSG

I move to wepons control and play 1 Blue to repair damage.

Because I played a repair card I get another action- I fire on one of the raiders in sector 2.

BSG

If you want advice, Laga, the basestar is a far more important target. The vipers can handle the raiders but the basestar needs Galactica's guns. If we destroy all the raiders before destroying the basestar, it'll just spawn more raiders.

If you don't want advice... hmm.

Weapons Control is repaired. We will pause to see if anyone wants to play a Strategic Planning interrupt for the attack on the raider.

sorry, I was reading "attack one cylon ship" and thinking the basestar was not a "ship"

I fire on the base star!

Hurrah!

God, I hope she's a better aim than me...

Also, no strategic planning from me.

Basestar it is. We'll still pause for SP interrupts. I have passes now from everyone except Starbuck.
