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

BSG

I vote for the check & I can help a little.

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

BSG

Before you all vote, there's a typo in the info I sent out. The check difficulty is 15, not 1.

Considering we lost on fuel last time I'm still inclined to go for the check even though the little bit I can help seems quite pitiful in the face of 15.

BSG

Hmm, I think with a 15 difficulty, we have no chance of passing. I'm going to go with the die roll, please.

Assassin's Creed 2 is AMAZING. There's a bit of a learning curve, but the first missions are all about learning the controls and how to interact with the game world. The graphics are jaw dropping, and the sandbox world is GINORMOUS!

Zarek has chosen the die roll. I have passes on interrupts from all players. Let's roll:

Result: 3. The fleet loses 1 Fuel.

Activation: Raiders. They follow the retreating civvie into Sector 4.

Jump Prep: Yes. Advances to 2 (Red).

That concludes President Zarek's turn. Admiral Adama, I'm sending you your card draw. When you're ready, please post your move and action.

Our wings are not tired

BSG

Okay, so I think my best move looks to be to move to Command so that I can launch some vipers. What do folks think? This is my first time in this rodeo.

Command would also let you order RSVs that have already launched. You may either order two different RSVs, or order a single RSV twice.
