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

"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??

Note: the only undamaged vipers are currently piloted by Apollo and Helo, so you are unable to launch.

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.

Helo 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!!!!

Plus, it takes all the fun out of it for the Cylons if you just go limp. It's like pythons, you need to jiggle the rat a bit to get them to bite.

Now we have wandering capybaras crossing a desert (dry season in the grassland) in search of a waterhole. They too are not under attack from Cylons. Who'da thunk it?

Not Helo, because he's trying to keep morale up as a good leader should, even if he isn't in command.

Holy Frak !!! NINE?!? Raiders?!! PLUS a basestar!?! Thank the Gods Tigh didn't use that 2nd nuke yet!

All I need is 3 more and I can make a Fendahl.

In other news, I bought the BSG Pegasus expansion yesterday. Airlocks ahoy! It's a definite step up in complexity. I wouldn't try running this one online unless all participants had a copy.
