P.S. Good luck Apollo, you're going to need it. Blame Starbuck. She frakked you.

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

BSG

Pradmiral Tigh has chosen the food loss. Your food is now at 6.

And now, the moment you've all been waiting for: When Raiders Attack! Starbuck has opted to do Sector 6 first, then Sector 5.

Sector 6
Raider 1: 8. Apollo Destroyed! (Well, his viper anyway. This isn't Pegasus, dammit!) But Starbuck plays EM-1. Reroll:
Raider 1a: 7 - 2 = 5. Viper damaged. But Starbuck plays EM-2. Re-reroll:
Raider 1b: 3 - 2 = 1. Miss.
Raider 2: 1. Miss.
Raider 3: 7. Viper damaged. Are there more COs? There are! Starbuck saves Apollo's arse (for later) yet again with an EM-2. Reroll:
Raider 3a: 6 - 2 = 4. Miss. (So close!)
Raider 4: 5. Viper damaged. Alas, we have no more COs. Apollo is sent to Sickbay - the civilians are left unprotected. There are 5 raiders left. Three of them destroy the 3 civilian ships, the remaining two move to Sector 1. The civilian ships contained:

Civilian C: 1 Population
Civilian E: No resources (humans catch a break!)
Civilian F: 1 Population

Total loss: 2 Population.

Sector 5
Raider 1: 2. Miss.
Raider 2: 8. Viper destroyed. Helo also goes to Sickbay. There are no more raiders in Sector 5; the civilian ships survive this turn.

Jump Prep: Yes

This concludes Starbuck's turn. Pradmiral Tigh, I'm sending you your card draw. When you're ready, please post your move and action.

Administrative note: Pradmiral Tigh's draw exhausted the Tactics deck. I have reshuffled the discards.

It was nothing, really. I've reshuffled decks lots of times.

So Admiral Drinky, you wanna call me a liar agin to my face when I shot the basestar and burned THREE Evasive Maneuvers trying to save Apollo's ass? (not to mention the civvies they didn't get to shoot at, thanks to me).

When we all live through this because I busted my hump covering your sorry asses, maybe you'll all make ME PrAdmiral, and *I* can sit around drinking all the time.

BSG

I move to the President's Office

I use a G-1 to XO Tyrol to prove he's a better shot than Starbuck. (Laga, use these 2 actions to fire on the Basestar. You can use your own turn to get to the hanger deck and start repairing Vipers).

***Tigh***

Shut yer yap, Starbuck, before I strap you to the next nuke I fire. Gods knows what the old man saw in you.
