Not BT, but it looks like the way the rules are written, the Cylons would have to be activated once to fire on me. If any of them shoot me down, whichever are left would be able to move to sector 4 as part of that activation. On their next activation, they would start firing on civie ships unless there were any vipers to shoot at first.
So worst-case scenario (the first raider to fire shoots me down) would be 2 civies dead after 2 cylon raider activations. 2 more dead on the following activation. And the final ship dying at the next activation.
Keep in mind though, that ships have a varying amount of population on them, so each ship shot down could result in the loss of more than 1 population.
ETA: Or what BT just said.
BSG
I'd lean towards the pop hit. With that many civvies in the air, a new mothership, and raiders, I think we'd loose more pop and vipers. I'm still stuck on Caprica for a 2nd round. Not even done with 1st round. Not much I can do.
Yes, I agree and so...
BSG
I cannot place potentially 5 population at risk.
I'm going to go with losing 2 population.
Tigh, on the other hand would put it like this -
***Tigh***
Of course, I don't want to abandon them, but we can't risk the rest of the fleet to save the stragglers. Get those FTLs spun up! Gods help us all.

I fully expect Zarek to have a field day with this.
BSG
Bah. You broke my toy and you won't even get me a replacement. Very well, -2 Population it is.
Cylon Activation:
raiders (move from Sector 2 to Sector 3 - Hi, Apollo!)
Jump Prep:
Yes
That concludes Zarek's turn. Helo's turn is next. Helo, I'm sending you your card draw. You don't have a move or action on your first turn, so we'll be moving rapidly to your Crisis Card.

Helo's Crisis Card is:
Guilt by Collusion
Skill Check (9 GP)
We will pause for possible interrupts - Investigative Committee and Scientific Research are options. Everyone, please pass or play.
BSG
No interrupts from Tigh.
Also, the pass includes the word "may" so if we can pass it, brigging someone is optional. Obviously Tigh thinks it should be that 'reformed' terrorist but, y'know, no pressure...
BSG
A quick question for BT; can Omnis use his regular power of a reroll this turn even though he's on Caprica? I ask because I think Apollo may need all the help he can get as he's going to have 3 Raiders firing on him.

He can indeed, and Helo, feel free to leave COs as to the use of your reroll.

I think it should be that vandal who broke my basestar.

The lovely Game Master has sent me an interesting quandry. Assuming we PASS this check, which we really should, given how low morale is, and it's only the first round, he states:
One other rules implication: if you brig Pradmiral Tigh, he remains President, but the Admiralty passes to the highest non-brigged person in the line of succession, which is... you.
Now, this early in the game, with enemy birds in the air, and nobody acting too shifty just yet, and the card saying "may", I'm inclined to *NOT* brig anyone. BUT! Given the opportunity to un-entwine the two power positions, it would be an interesting idea. I'm certainly open to discussion on it.
