Helo has chosen Option 2. Food returns to 8.
Next, raiders activate again. This is a single-minded fleet you're facing here. Once again, there are no raiders on the board, so the basestar in Sector 5 launches 2 raiders.
Finally, the jump prep advances by 1. You are now one icon away from auto-jumping.
That concludes Helo's turn. President Zarek, I'm sending you your card draw. When you're ready, please post your move and action.

Do we need to worry about the civvies in the sectors with basestars? Either way, I'll stay here and maneuver civvie ships around. I'll take input on which ships to look at or move.
BSG
Do you have any XO's? You could XO Pappy to have the RSV go after the new cylons. Or Helo to fire on baseship?
If I follow thing correctly we just need to hold out long enough for the jump prep to advance one more step right? True, if you can XO me then I'd be happy to command some vipers.
BSG
But doesn't one of the basestars follow us if we jump? I thought that's what the "33" card did. If so, we're better off destroying them. If you can XO me, I can get two shots at them.

No, what the Relentless Pursuit condition does is "Thirty Three" gets reshuffled into the Crisis Deck when you jump. However, the condition is nullified if a civilian ship or a basestar is destroyed, and you destroyed a basestar during Adama's last turn. NOthing unusual will happen when next you jump.
BSG
Okay. Thanks for the clarification. And I'd forgotten we'd destroyed a basestar already.
While we're close to jumping, there's no guarantee the next crisis will have a jump prep.
I'd say if Zarek has an XO handy he should use it on either myself or Adama so we can try to clear out either basestars or raiders, respectively. I'd hate for us to ignore the Cylons and end up getting an activation without any jump prep.
No civvies are in immediate danger right now, so it's probably not worth moving any of them.
BSG
I will stay right where I am and XO Adama. (I believe I only have the one, BT).
BSG
Zarek plays an XO-1 on Adama. Admiral, you have received an XO. You may either move and take an action, or not move and take two actions. When you're ready, please post your orders.
