No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

My apologies, that concludes Admiral Kara "No-Nukes" Thrace's turn.

Yeah, but I got to blow shit up with one of them. That was frakkin' awesome.

Helo, we go for it now to get you out. Doing it a second time is a complete waste of cards.

Zarek, so you've made the escape easier? That's by 2, right?

Edit: At least the Cylons can only play one card each.

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

BSG

I play 1 card.

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 fix is in. I have COs from everyone.

Destiny: 2 cards
Apollo: no cards
Chief: 1 card
Zarek: no cards
Helo: 1 card
Starbuck: 2 cards
Tigh: 1 card

Result:

Yellow 2
Purple 1
Purple 2
Purple 2
Purple 3
Green 3
Red 1

Tally: 10 - 4 = 6. With Zarek's Friends in Low Places, Helo is free! He has left COs to move to Communications.

Action 2: look at civilian ships B and C, move them further away from the raiders. Helo, I'm sending you details of the two ships.

That concludes President Tigh's turn. Apollo, I'm sending you your card draw. (Apollo has opted to draw 2 Green as part of his card draw.) When you're ready, please post your action.

Wow. I totally missed that Communications allows you to move civvie ships. That rocks!

Hopefully Omnis feels like sharing the details of the ships.

And now, get ready for a double feature of Cylon escape attempts...

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

Chief, if I were to XO you, would you be willing to Reveal, I mean repair vipers, so that on your own turn (coming up immediately after mine) you could do nasty Cylon stuff, I mean repair more vipers?

ETA: You could even try to escape as your first action, and if that fails, um, repair vipers, with your second.

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

Hopefully Omnis feels like sharing the details of the ships.
I don't think I'm allowed.

BSG

I can only help a little to debrig myself but in the unlikely event I got sprung I would definitely be in the mood to repair some vipers.

Well, you can reveal, I mean repair vipers, in the Brig. It just means you can't do whatever side effect is on your Repair Vipers card. (Send someone to Brig or Sickbay) But you still get all the other stuff. So no point in not doing it if you don't escape. If you do escape and can find something better to do, then do that. Though Repairing Vipers and inconviniencing one of the people out of the Brig while you're at would be good too.

I play a G2 Executive Order on the Chief.
