OK, Now that we are all dehydrated, let's get the adrenaline flowing. It's time to activate those cute little double-Y ships. Remember, with a Basestar firing on Galactica, a roll of 4 - 8 is damage. We get two shots, one from each Basestar.
Basestar #1:
6! Hit!
Damage:
Barney Jones hit the fuel tank. Fuel resource -1!
Basestar #2:
1! Miss!!
Too bad no critical misses here. Dude! A one? That's pathetic. Can we have a do-over on that one? Please? Eh, didn't think so. Couldn't hurt to try.
That ends round 1.4. End of round summery to follow, along with card draw e-mail to the Chief.
BSG
Damage: Barney Jones hit the fuel tank. Fuel resource -1!
That's not an actual location on Galactica, so no repair needed, correct?

That's not an actual location on Galactica, so no repair needed, correct?That is correct. There was a reduction in resource. I was being cute. No repair needed, but jumping will be interesting. Most jumps are about 1 fuel per distance. Y'all have gone distance 0, and have fuel 7, and you need to travel 8. Should be fun. Hope the Admiral makes good choices when it comes to jumping.

I will move to Communications and play a G1 XO on Boomer.
We're still dangerously low on cards, and with my weakness I'm better off playing cards than hoarding them. As BT said we're at least 2, possibly 3 raider activations away from losing civies and if the raiders activate, hopefully someone can XO me so I can pull all the vulnerable civies into Sector 5 with Apollo before they activate again.
BSG
Brave! Ever wonder if she's the reason Salty is the Admiral? Let's see what she does with this XO.
Your move has been notated, and the G1 removed from your hand.
Boomer, ball is in your court. Please post a MOVE and ACTION, or TWO ACTIONS in the PRESS ROOM.
LOVE those shoes.
BSG
I will move to Communications and play a G1 XO on Boomer.
t swoon He's so decisive, don't you think? That's what I think. I bet he'll be a hit with the ships' captains. He'll be all, "This is Galactica, Actual" and they'll be all, "Roger that". Don't you just love all that military speak? He has this voice he does when he's serious, like when he's chewing out some of his team. I act like I'm not really listening, but I am.
Anyway, my orders. I activate the Press Room twice.
The idea of Boomer talking to the press reminds me of the West Wing episode where Josh does the press briefing and announces the President's secret plan to fight inflation. (Tigh has a secret plan to fight inflation, and he promises he'll still have one nuke left afterwards.)
Politicise me, Roslin's Giant Disembodied Head.
BSG
Dear god, that woman just keeps talking. Did she make any sense to anyone? Well, Boomer now has 4 yellow cards. Hopefully some skill checks will need them.
Speaking of skill check, it's time for Crisis Card! Since we had Water Shortage last time, seems only fitting that we have:
Food Shortage!
Another Presidents choice. Details to follow in a group e-mail. I will text the President and see if she is still awake, to give her a heads up on the situation.
