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 now. Let's see how the Scouting mission goes.

Die roll: 6. Success!

Pradmiral, do you wish to scout the Crisis deck or the Destination deck?

Crisis deck. Plenty of time to check the destination deck.

Mr Zarek is in the Brig, so he doesn't draw a Crisis Card. Crew of Galactica, please welcome back your ECO, Karl 'Helo' Agathon. Helo, I'm sending you your card draw. You start your turn on the Hangar Deck. When you're ready, please post your move and action.

As the Raptor I am in draws closer to Galactica, I see a Viper escort us in. I think it strange, what with so many enemy birds in the air, but I guess Boomer wanted to make sure we have some defenses. My head is clear now, the adreniline pumping through my veins is at max levels. As soon as we touchdown in the hangar deck, I jump out, and jump IN to our escorts Viper. I've been breathing radiation too long, I WANT MY REVENGE. I'm going Toaster hunting.

ACTION: Claim a viper and launch into sector 6.

This gives me one more action. SECOND ACTION: I play my GREEN 1 XO card. Chief, I XO you to fire on that mother ship you damaged so well. You get two shots, since you are already at weapons. I ask, if you destroy her on the first shot, that you aim your sights on one of the heavy raiders in sector 4. I got your back! (Game Master, if the roll is not favorable for the colonies, I use my re-roll ability to get a second chance!)

As I launch off the deck, I see Boomer surrounded with guns drawn on her. WTF? No clue what that is all about. But I don't have time for that right now. I got some hunting to do.

Helo to Galactica, I'm in Sector 5 to defend Civvie D. It's good to be back, sir.

BSG

A couple of clarifications:

1. You said you launch into Sector 6, but then you say you're in Sector 5 with Civvie D. Which is it?

2. If Chief shoots at the basestar (and then possibly a heavy raider), do you intend to use your reroll on the first missed roll?

Chief Tyrol, you've received an XO. You can either move and take an action, or not move and take two actions. When you're ready please post your orders.

Mr Zarek is in the Brig, so he doesn't draw a Crisis Card.

Huh. I'd missed that fact. No wonder so many of you hid in the brig last game.
