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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

I will stay right where I am and XO Adama. (I believe I only have the one, BT).

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.

Pilots, this is Galactica Actual, we are not out of the woods yet, keep in the frakking game and keep those raiders away from the fleet.

I activate the vipers to attack the raiders. If the first action doesn't destroy the two raiders then I will use the second action to activate again, otherwise the second action will be used to scout the crisis deck.

I have passes on interrupts.

Viper 1: 6. Hit!
Viper 2: 7. Hit!

Both raiders have been destroyed. Adama plays a P-2 to scout the Crisis Deck. We'll pause for SP interrupts. Everyone, please pass or play.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

So, my little brother got us an Xbox 360 and Rock Band 2.

Now I just need an ethernet cable long enough to reach from the TV in one corner of the house to the router, down in the basement and in the exact opposite corner.

Oh, my First World Woes, they are many.

Plus, my monitor just crapped out on the Batcomputer.
