It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

I'll happily remind you all that I was willing to *not contribute substantially to that last skill check* so that *we could see who was going to play what* and I *got overruled in that action*.

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

BSG

Wow, Has Zarek gone Sane? What is this fleet coming to. Either way, we need to get you OUT of that cell as soon as we can.

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.

BSG

Yes, it was a high skill check, but 3 colors could feed into it. But if you want to flip a coin for civilian lives, by all means.

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

BSG

Starbuck plays an SP. Let's see what happens.

Die roll: 5 + 2 = 7. No effect. The fleet breathes a collective sigh of relief.

Those that are left, anyway. Next up is the raider activation. This is going to hurt.

Sector 1: civilian ship A destroyed; 1 raider moves to Sector 2.
Sector 5: civilian ships D and J destroyed.
Sector 6: 7 raiders move to Sector 1.

(Actually, Apollo, as current player, you could manipulate the order of activation so that the raiders in Sector 6 move to Sector 5 instead of Sector 1. There's no difference in terms of civilian ships lost. Let me know if you want them to move to Sector 1 or 5.)

Lost ships:
Civilian A: 1 Population
Civilian D: 2 Population
Civilian J: 1 Population, 1 Fuel.

Total loss: 4 Population, 1 Fuel. Ouch.

Jump Prep advances. This concludes Apollo's turn. Chief Tyrol, I'm sending you your card draw. When you're ready, please post your move and action.

OMG, we are down to 4 population total.

ETA: To think we were worried about Morale just recently.
