I'm always loath to interrupt Apollo's panicking, but I need those two new basestars to shoot at Galactica now.
Attack 1:
2. Miss. Must still be disoriented.
Attack 2:
7. Hit. (That's better.) Aaaand...
Hangar Deck damaged.
(Bugger. I was aiming for FTL Control.)
That concludes Helo's turn. President Zarek, I'm sending you your card draw. When you're ready, please post your move and action.
BSG
We're getting shot at again. Wonderful. Didn't we just leave this party?
BT, I don't know if my re-roll ability applies to "bad guy" rolls or not, but if it does, I'd like to apply it the first roll where a basestar hits Galactica.
Edit: Heh. Cross-post. Yeah, can we re-roll that hit on our hangar deck please? Thanks much.

Whoops, it certainly does. Sorry about that. Allow me to reroll the basestar hit:
Attack 2a: 6. Still a hit, so the result stands.
BSG
Dang.
I know a damaged location can't be activated, so none of the players can launch themselves in vipers, but can we still (as illogical as it sounds) use command to launch RSVs?
BSG
That's not panic, that's CAG presenting options to the group.
Well crap, we have a damaged hangar so we can't even launch vipers.
I'd rather reserve the nuke launch. If I can use it and take out a few Raiders at the same time then I think it might be worthwhile.

Viper needs a perfect roll, if memory serves correct, to score a hit. Only launch vipers when there are raiders near civvies.

Yep, Command is still open for business.

Yes, in a surprisingly loud and high-pitched voice.
