A reminder, at the Sleeper Phase in this game, one player will be a Sympathiser. If you protect all resources well enough to keep them all above the halfway mark, the Sympathiser will join the Cylons.
Huh. I hadn't realized the sympathiser card was guaranteed to come up. I didn't read the 'Creating the Loyalty Deck' thoroughly.
Well, I guess we'll see what happens. At this rate we'll be down to 5 morale before we get to jump!
That's enough time for interrupts. Passes all round. Let's see if the Chief's a better shot than the Pradmiral.
Die roll:
2. Miss. I hereby christen this basestar the SS Teflon.
Crisis time! Zarek's efforts with the Cylon Screenings were only temporary, it seems; the Tribunal has opened
Terrorist Investigations
(Skill Check 12 YG). Once more we shall pause for interrupts: an Investigative Committee and/or Scientific Research may be played.
BSG
I can help a little with the check.
bsg
I can help a bit.
bt, co's insent on this check.

***Tigh***
Son of a bitch! Tyrol, get those guns calibrated. Galactica doesn't miss this much, something's up.
Ah, frak, seems the Tribunal thinks so too. Terrorist investigations, my ass. They just need to take a look at their ex-frakkin'-president!
***
I have no interrupts. I believe that's all we're supposed to be revealing currently. I'll CO BT anyway.
BSG
Also, a quick reminder that the Basestar launched a Heavy Raider. That ship won't travel clockwise, it's going to head for one of the viper launch tubes in sectors 5 & 6 and have centurions board Galactica.
As to whether that is a more serious threat than the regular raiders, I'm not sure. I know if Centurions board we can fight them, but that's manpower that should be firing on the Basestar...
Decisions, decisions.
BSG
And a gentle reminder - I can't do anything in a location with other people. It's Zarek's weakness. If you want me to help either shoot the basestar, or take care of a boarding party, Zarek has to be alone there.
BSG
It's very lonely in space. You could pop out there for a bit. Take a long stroll. Let me show you this airlock...
No, not Tigh's voice. He thinks he doesn't have to worry about Zarek at the moment. I think he's wrong.
BSG
"Apollo to Galactica. Visual confirmation of a heavy raider launch. I should be able to handle the normal raiders with the nuggets backing me up, but I can't seem to reach them on comms. Someone will need to relay that order to their vipers from Command. And tell Starbuck to get her butt in gear and intercept that heavy raider."
Any other Buffistas playing Monopoly City Streets?
