Omnis, you state the value of the card you're using to XO because it is played openly.
Sean, you do not have to move anywhere to use the nuke, though getting to the hanger bay as a second action might not be a bad idea OR as a second action, brigging Tyrol would be wise. Very wise, actually.
When you fire the nuke, I will play a P3 Strategic Planning to bump up the result by 2.
BSG
In which case, for my first action I will
nuke the basestar.
For my second action I will
activate the Admiral's Quarters
and attempt to brig the Chief.
I really can't help on the check to brig Tyrol. I don't know if anyone else can, but I don't have any helpful cards left. Let's hope this works.
It may not be worth the brigging attempt. You don't have much, Zarek is out of cards and we can only contribute one each. Tyrol just picked up 2 yellow. For your second action do you have a P1 or P2 to scout either the Crisis or Destination deck?
BSG
Wow, things are getting pretty scary out there. Those civies are in an awful lot of trouble without any vipers to protect them. But by all means try to throw the Chief in the Brig. I'm sure that's all it will take to stop the raiders from attacking.
BSG
Nothing I can do about the vipers right this second, but I can try and put both of you where you'll do less harm.
BSG
Admiral Starbuck fires the remaining nuke at the basestar. President Tigh contributes his extensive nuking experience. Let's see how it goes.
Die roll:
3 + 2 = 5. Basestar destroyed, but the raiders are all intact.
Starbuck's second acrtion is to initiate brigging proceedings against the Chief. This is still Helo's turn, so Starbuck will start this check and Helo will end it. We'll pause to see if anyone wants to play an IC or SR interrupt. Everyone, please pass or play.
Edit: President Tigh, please also advise whether you wish to lower the check difficulty by 3.
BSG
Administrative note: Helo used a G-1 to XO Starbuck.
BSG
Die roll: 3 + 5. Basestar destroyed, but the raiders are all intact.
BT, can you clarify this math for me. Was it 3+5=8? That does take out 3 raiders. or 3+2=5?
Oh, and I do lower the brigging difficulty by 3, of course.
BSG
It was 3 + 2 = 5. Must have lost a couple of characters, I'll go back and edit.
