Ah, yes. I meant Sector 4.

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

Civilian ship B moves from Sector 5 to Sector 4; Civilian ship C moves from Sector 6 to Sector 5.

Crisis Card! I do enjoy these little moments. President Zarek's Crisis Card is:

Raiding Party
Cylon Attack

I have to pop off to uni now (exam! Fun!), but will post the results when I return.

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

Yeah, now would definitely be time for some nuclear proliferation. Yikes.

And of course some of the new Cylons appear in the sector civvies just got moved into.

Do you mind explaining why, Mr. President, you felt it necessary to move civilian ships where there were no vipers to protect them?

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

Holy frak!

Well if I'm not mistaken, Adama goes next and then me so he can nuke the hell out of them and I'll lanch and mop up whatever's left. Such a shame losing the jump prep.

Our wings are not tired

Unless I can get XOed this turn.

rats I don't have the player order in front of me. I was looking at the last status update and saw we came after Zarek.

That is correct, Adama's turn is next. Once I get home we'll finish up Zarek's turn.

Plot twist! Galactica's crew are startled at the spectacle of Apollo racing to the hangar deck, saline drip squelching along behind him and arse hanging out of his hospital gown. He commandeers Chuckles' viper, and his pants, to launch himself into Sector 6!

Apollo invokes his Alert Viper Pilot ability to commandeer a launched viper and take one extra action.

That action is:

Play Maximum Firepower-3 to attack the raiders in Sector 6 four times

There are no interrupts. Let's roll:

Attack 1: 5. Hit!
Attack 2: 4. Hit!
Attack 3: 2. Miss.
Attack 4; 8. Hit!

3 raiders destroyed before the meds wear off.

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.

Administrative note: Adama's card draw has exhausted the Leadership deck. I've reshuffled the discards - all eight of them.
