Sounds good. Hopefully Sean agrees and goes with the die roll. Still, that dice does tend to roll low, ask Apollo.
Which reminds me, he's going to get shot at again. Then it might be Starbuck's turn to be Toaster target practice.
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

She has some "Red Shirt Vipers", which get fired upon first. If anyone can, some orders to activate those RSV might be something to think about.

Since we have a SP available, and I can help with Apollo getting fired upon, I will go with the die roll.

Remember that jumping the fleet removes all Cylon ships/basestars from the map. Just whisks them away - zip!

As the voice of reason, we have 4 cylons vs 4 vipers out there. Let's not jump early and risk population this early on.

Well, there's no chance of jumping early this turn anyway as someone has to be in the FTL Control Room.
Worst case scenario this turn is Raider 1 takes out Apollo letting Raiders 2 & 3 enter Sector 4. If that happens I hope to get an XO on Starbuck but I'm only getting one card on my draw due to being in Sickbay so it's going to be close.
If the Raiders get another activation, we stand a good chance of moving again on the Jump track.

Edit: oh, pshaw. I mis-read my own copy of the board.
Never mind. Ignore all my advice, that was offered OOCly anyway.

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

If it's not too late to consider other options, I can help a lot on the skill check.

In MyBrute news - there's a tendency to list the pets - dog, wolf, bear - as good, better, best. I actually think that given the right circumstances the wolf is far better than the bear. Check this out from today's matches - [link]

Laga, Sean said he's going with the die roll. Don't worry, plenty more skill checks to make before Kobol!

Die roll it is. Helo plays a Strategic Planning-3.
Die roll: 5 + 2 = 7. No effect.
Cylon Activation: raiders. They fire on Apollo.
Raider 1: 2. Miss.
Raider 2: 8. Viper destroyed! I have COs from Apollo: Play EM-1. The reroll is at -2.
Raider 2a: 5 - 2 = 3. Miss.
Raider 3: 3. Miss. Bah.
Jump Prep: Yes. You are now one icon away from auto-jumping.
That concludes Starbuck's turn. Pradmiral Tigh, you are starting your turn in Sickbay, which means you may draw only one skill card. Please advise whether you wish to draw Green or Purple; then, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
