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.

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

3/4s of what was left of the human race has been wiped out, but everyone is still filling out all 5s on their Pradmiral Satisfaction surveys.

BT: Which sector the raiders move to doesn't seem to make a difference, so leave it as is.

We're also going to lose another civvie on the next Raider activation. Then we get one free activation before civies are in danger again, but it's not looking good.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

BSG

should I fire on the raiders or move to the hangar deck and repair vipers?

The raider in Sector 2 is worth destroying as it's the only raider that will be able to destroy a colonial ship on its next activation.

I stay in Weapons Control and Fire on the Raider in Sector 2.

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

BSG

The roll will succeed on a 3 or more. Any SP interrupts?

The non-interrupting snores continue.

I have the odd CO I can apply here. I'm going to call it: pass on interrupts. Let's see if Chief Tyrol is as good against a small target as he is against basestars:

Die roll: 3. It's a squeaker, but he just manages to knock out its propulsion. It's left spinning helplessly in space.

...Or is it? Chief Tyrol's Crisis Card is:

Crippled Raider

Chief, when you're ready please post your choice.

I don't think we can afford to lose any more population but if we fail the die roll that could be disastrous as well. I can help a lot with the skill check. Does anyone else have input?

I think the skill check is the better option, although I have the wrong cards for this one, so will not be tossing in any.

Pradmiral, what are your thoughts?
