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

My first action is to nuke the basestar in Sector 3. As BT has said, if anyone has an SP to play on this roll, we have a 50% chance of destroying the 3 raiders with it.
Obviously I have to wait to perform my second action, but I have a question. The rules say RS Vipers are usually activated from Command, so a player can't just activate one as an action (with Command giving the superior action of activating two)?

No, that wording just allows for special circumstances like Apollo's CAG ability. You can pretty much assume that if you want to activate RSVs, you'll need to go to Command.
Any SP interrupts for the nuke?

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.

No interrupts here.

Interrupt: I play a Strategic Planning on the Pradmiral's nuke attempt.

Mr Zarek plays an SP-4 on the nuke. Let's see how it goes:
Die roll: 8 + 2 = 10. The nuke destroys not only the basestar, but the three raiders accompanying it. Look, I don't think you people realise just how much one of these things costs. I'm seriously out of pocket here.
Pradmiral Tigh, when you're ready please post your second action.

Okay, there's no value in using the other nuke, that basestar will be destroyed if Galactica hits it one more time.
I'll play a P2 - Launch Scout. Hopefully I can ensure our next Crisis won't be more Cylons turning up.

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

whoo! (edit, whoo: destroying base star. I'm not whooing the scout until it comes back safely.)

What sort of world is it where I'm forced to commend the Pradmiral for both his wisdom in using the Bomb at this particular juncture, as well as sending out a scout?
Can I please be moved to Sickbay, since I'm obviously in need of medical care?
