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

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.

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

This is so exciting!

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

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:

President Zarek, when you're ready, please post your choice.

Hot damn! Some fireworks out there tonight! Sorry couldn't get the heavy raiders. At least they don't attack civvies. We just need to stop them before they board. We still have sector 3 to deal with!

I think we're doing fine on food right now if you guys want to save your cards.

That is tough. They both just played, so no time to easily restock on the cards. I hate to ding one of the discs at top. Thankfully I'm CAG and not President. My the Gods be with you, Mr. Zarek, as you make this tough choice.

I have to discard one card at the end of this turn no matter what.

Thoughts? I think we can stand the food loss, myself. That's where I'm leaning right now.
