I've got a couple of Maximum Firepowers. Some good rolls could cut the number of Raiders in my sector substantially if someone wants to XO me.

Your best shot is Starbuck. If the raiders get activated this turn, I'm pretty certain you're going to get nailed by one of them, so Sean's your best chance of firing first. Also, I have a nuke to fire.

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

When I think nuke, I think of the line from Burnout Revenge "Blow It Up! Blow It Up!" and smirk, because Pete has the power to nuke in this game, and Pete never seems to get to "blow it up" in Burnout Revenge, hence the phrase "Oh, you pulled a Pete".

(ducks n covers from wrath of Pete)

As someone who just survived a highly irradiated, Cylon-infested planet and arrived back in the company of a known Cylon I recommend you zip it, smart-arse.

Are we waiting on me? I hope not. What's going on? I think I ate too many of those damn Mentos.

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

BSG

We're waiting on Starbuck to take her turn. I haven't seen Sean around b.org over the last day, so I figure he's a bit snowed under and hasn't had time to check his email.

Starbuck is sulking because Apollo took ALL the vipers out, dinged them up and now there's none left for her.

Actually Starbuck could head to Weapons Control leaving Chief to start repairing Vipers.

She could, and potentially stopping the basestar from generating even more raiders would be useful, but it doesn't help with the likely immediate problem of myself and potentially the civies behind me being fired on nine times.

If it makes you feel any better, I promise that I'll only fire at any given civvie once.

Yeah, you're right. An XO for you is the best option.
