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

I have passes from everyone on SPs. Chief fires!

Die roll:

7. Hit.

Let's draw a damage token:

Critical Hit!

Ouch. Dammit, Chief, you're harshing on my basestar again. That does it, I'm calling in reinforcements. Your Crisis Card is:

Raiding Party
Cylon Attack

We start with a refreshing firefight. The 4 raiders attack the RSVs.

Raider 1: 8. RSV destroyed! No interrupts.

Raider 2: 4. Miss.

Raider 3: 5. RSV damaged.

Raider 4: 3. Miss.

Next, another Cylon attack party jumps in to join the fun.

Finally, the FTL Failure has no effect since you are still at the start of the Jump Prep track.

Mr Zarek, I'm sending you your card draw. When you're ready, please post your action.

Apparently Cylons love barren rocks. Okay, duly noted.

If anyone has an XO they want to use on me, I think it's time to bring the pain.

Edit: P.S. WE ARE FRAKKED, PEOPLE!

It was widely agreed that the one quality that had been most influential in Saul Tigh's rise to hold both military and civilian authority was his ability to inspire and comfort those below him.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

BSG

Holy Frak!! All I can say is, thank goodness it's when we have resources, and not at the end of game when running on fumes. But damn! 2 big cards on the board so fast! Frak!

BT, I get to play this round, right? After Mr. Convict?

That is correct. You'll start your next turn on the Hangar Deck.

If Zarek can XO me, I can nuke the basestar before it's accompanying raiders escape the sector.

Long shot, but worth mentioning.

Not sure the odds diff, but an XO of the chief to fire twice on basestars.
