"Apollo to Helo. Good to have you back. How do you like your welcoming party?"
Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?

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.

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

Everyone passes on interrupts for the first roll. Let's see if the basestar survivies.
Die roll: 8. Hit. Basestar destroyed!
Next, chief trains the weapons on a heavy raider. No interrupts.
Die roll: 7. Hit! Bah.
Of course you realise, this means war. Helo's Crisis Card is:
Tactical Strike
Cylon Attack

Next up on FOX: When Orphaned Raiders Attack! The raiders in Sector 6 open fire on the RSVs. I have standing COs from the pilots.
Raider 1: 3. Miss. Now it starts missing.
Raider 2: 7. Viper damaged. That's more like it.
Raider 3: 2. Miss.
Raider 4: 8. Viper destroyed!
There are no more RSVs in Sector 6. Apollo stands guard alone. Next, the raiders in Sector 4 move to Sector 5. Here Helo stands guard over Civilian ship D.
Step 2: add a bunch of ships to the board. (Check the end-of-turn summary for details.)
Step 3: Hangar assault - damage 2 vipers in the reserves. There are no vipers in the reserves, so this has no effect.
That concludes Helo's turn. Starbuck, I'm sending you your card draw. When you're ready, please post your move and action. Note: the only undamaged vipers are currently piloted by Apollo and Helo, so you are unable to launch.

"Apollo to Helo. Good to have you back. How do you like your welcoming party?"A couple keg's of booze would have been more welcoming. Just when we get rid of a Basestar, another frakkin' one shows up??? What the hell??

Oh, that just plain sucks.
Wow, who would have known this Barren rock was the FRIKKIN CYLON HOMEWORLD!!!
Or at least a popular vacationing spot. Yeesh.

Huh. Didn't I mention that when I sent you the Destinations? I could've sworn you said something along the lines of "Cylon Homeworld, eh? Let's go there - it's what they'll least expect!"

BT needs a thrashing.
Jeezus, Apollo is the only thing standing between 3 colony ships and 9 raiders and a basestar!
Yeah, I think we're likely to lose a lot of population by the time we jump. A lot. Having all our resources above half by the Cylon reveal hase seems rather unlikely now.

And yet, you're the ones with your pants around your collective ankles. Funny how things work out, isn't it? Not that this is in any way karmic payback for you blowing up all my frikkin' basestars, of course.
I'm watching a nature special on the Amazon. Did you know that in the wet season, the floodwater covers a forest area the size of England? Can be 10 metres deep. The animals of the forest floor head for the treetops before it happens, warned by the rising humidity and whatnot.
Now the giant otters are on the move. Strangely enough, they don't seem to be under Cylon attack. You guys must be special.

And yet, you're the ones with your pants around your collective anklesHelo to Galactica: Not yet we aren't! I see debris from one mothership that looks like it was nuked over there, and the Chief finished off this second one right in front of me. We can do this! We still have one more nuke. And we got some quality people. We need to get someone in weapons to be XO'd for double shots, so we can send Chief to the Hangar to fix some vipers! We aren't dead yet people, so don't act like it! Look alive because we ARE alive!!!!
