You guys are lucky you have me, I just buried another nasty crisis.
She also just saved a bunch of money on her car insurance by threatening her agent with a golf club.
That concludes Boomer's turn. Apollo, I have once again neglected to check with you beforehand: you have a choice on your card draw. What would you like to draw from Yellow and Green?
BSG
It is interesting that people are playing it so close to the vest on this game. I don't think I've seen a skill check that looks like it has been spiked yet.

BSG
Choice here team humans (although we don't know who isn't). I'm prepared to fix something. With all the heavy raiders, should I go for armoury in anticipation of boarding party? Or hangar deck so we can get vipers in the air? I'm leaning heavy to hangar deck, as no raiders are at sector 5&6 yet.
BSG
I discarded a Red 1
BSG
I think hangar deck is a good idea.
BSG
Apollo has opted to draw one Yellow and one Green. Apollo, I'm sending you your card draw. When you're ready, please post your move and action.
BSG
Administrative note: Apollo's card draw has exhausted the Politics and Piloting decks. I've reshuffled the discards.
BSG
I vote for Hangar Deck as well. They need to board and then get a number of activations before we're done, whereas we've got a crapload of civies in the sky and only one lone nugget defending them.
ETA: Side note, I've been thinking that the one rule in this game I really don't like is revealed Cylons being able to make other players Cylons. It's bad enough having a chance of switching teams at the halfway point, but having toasterness thrust upon you by another player just seems no fair. I understand why the rule is there, it just bugs a bit.
As if the folks in the show liked hearing that frakkin' song? PuLEASE. I think it's an awesome rule. Of course, it hasn't happened to me yet, so who knows how I will react then.
That said:
BSG
I have heard from two of our team. I guess the others are admitting they are part of Team Human. Interesting test. Works as well as Balthar's machine. I'm shooting from the hip while at work, so BT, help me with actual card values.
MOVE
I move to the Hangar Deck
Action
I play the lowest blue card that allows me to repair, and I fix this place!
