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.
Now, this would be the perfect time for a swear word.

Yes, I agree and so...

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.

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

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.

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...

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.

You would brig the man that is leading the fleet? The man who performed the vastly strategic act of asking Tyrol to go to Weapons Control? The man who ensured the 'reformed' terrorist Zarek was no longer President? The man who was not afraid to have the results of his Cylon-screening made public?
Are you MAD?
I don't see the need to brig anyone yet and after the last game you should know what happens when you start brigging people with very little reason. Or did you want some more Sinatra piped into your cell?
Or you could just brig Zarek. He's clearly a trouble maker, Cylon or not.
