GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

BSG

Move Research Lab. Draw 1 Blue card. (We're not under attack, so there doesn't seem to be much else to do.)

Not that you're not doing a good job, Pradmiral, but it might be better for the sake of morale in the fleet to separate the Admiral and President postions now that it's quiet.

Good idea. Always good to take care of these things when it's quiet.

Apollo's Crisis Card is:

Besieged
Cylon Attack!

Apollo uses his Alert Viper Pilot ability to jump into one of the RSVs. Apollo, you get an additional action. When you're ready, please post your orders.

***Tigh***

"Colonial fleet, this is Gal- ... Colonial One Actual, President Admiral Tigh speaking. We have escaped the recent Cylon attack with no casualties. Unfortunately our jump has taken us to a completely barren rock which I'm sure will give the whiners in the Quorum something to keep themselves busy with for the next few meetings. BUT, with any luck this worthless location isn't even on the Cylon's charts and we can fire up our FTLs again before any toasters decide to show their alloyed faces.

However, there is news of a more serious nature. As you know, Mr. Zarek ran for office on the platform of ensuring fair trade within the ships of the fleet. However, documentation has come to light that suggests Mr. Zarek was actually involved in price-fixing and falsely limiting supplies to raise tensions within the fleet that he could then appear to appease as he took office.

This documentation is being collated and verified and Mr. Zarek will appear before a tribunal at the first opportunity. Accordingly, Ex -President Zarek has been placed under arrest and is being held in the brig. Next time try not to vote for the ex-terrorist.

Okay, get to work, people. We want to be out of here before - What? Already? Frak me, battle stations, people!"

Private line to Apollo

"We'll worry about the Presidency once we've cleared up this frakking mess."

Frak!

"All viper pilots, this is the CAG. I don't care what you're doing, but I need every available bird in the air yesterday."

I think now would be a very good time to use my once per game ability. Launch 6 RSVs into sector 6, please.

ETA: This what I get for saying it was quiet, isn't it?

Electromagnetic candy! - Stark

BSG

No matter what you think of me, "Pradmiral", I've still done more to save our collective asses than you and your jackbooted thugs have. From the depths of this cell, I'll continue to work towards our salvation. I'm not sure you can claim the same.

Sector 6 fills with RSVs! This is what I believe the military refers to as 'a target-rich environment'. The 4 raiders activate and attack.

Raider 1: 7. Hit! RSV damaged.

Ok, we need to pause here to get COs on Evasive Maneouvre interrupts. The shooting will continue once I've got all the orders.

BSG

Ok, I have COs, so we can keep going. No EMs are played; RSV damaged.

Raider 2: 8. Viper destroyed! Helo plays a Red-1 to force a reroll.

Raider 2a: 1. Miss.

Raider 3: 1. Miss.

Raider 4: 6. RSV damaged. No interrupts.

Final tally: 2 damaged RSVs, 2 smirking raiders.

That concludes Apollo's Big Adventure. Chief Tyrol, I'm sending you your card draw. When you're ready please post your move and action.
