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

I may be drunk. There wasn't much left in the bottle of Fernet when I went to pour myself a glass so I figured, why not finish it?

Apollo, this is Galactica actual. It's time for the Viper jockeys to earn their keep and blast some of these toasters out of the sky.

I XO Omnis.

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

BSG

Apollo, 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.

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

Billy Tea, insent with 2 emails of proposed actions. Lemme know if it's legit.

ETA, off to bed. Will see your responses tomorrow. Hopefully work won't be too crazy, to keep the momentum going.

Thank you sir for that XO. I'm gonna go Medieval on those Cylons! I invoke my OPG power and take a CAG action. (CO's sent to BT, and actions depend on results)

Activation 1: Move RSV from sector 5 to sector 4
Activation 2: ATTTACK regular raider...

(We now take this commercial break. When we return, let's find out how that RSV did!)

First off, while I think of it: Adama, you may also move to somewhere other than FTL Control. Do you wish to move to a different location?

Edit: also while I think of it, the card Adama played on Apollo was an XO-1.

For his first action, Apollo uses his CAG, which grants six RSV activations. Let's run through them:

1: Move a viper from Sector 4 to Sector 5.
2: Attack raider in S4 - 6. Hit!
3: Attack raider in S4 - 7. Hit!
4: Attack raider in S6 - 6. Hit!

There are now no raiders in Sector 4, one raider in Sector 6 and Apollo has two activations left. I need to pause here to confirm with Apollo his remaining orders.

This is so exciting!

I'd like to move to Command. This sets me up to control the Reserve Vipers if needed.

But wait, there is more!

Ok, confirmation from Apollo.

Action 5: attack heavy raider in Sector 4.
Result: 5. Miss.

Action 6: Launch another viper into Sector 5.

That concludes Apollo's first action. His second action is: Fire on raider in Sector 6.
Result: 8. Hit! All raiders in Sector 6 destroyed.

That concludes Apollo's (and Adama's) action. But it looks like one of those raiders crashed into the water tank. Adama's crisis is:
