And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

"Civilians don't want to live on crackers, let alone a thimble of water a day. But if the President's recipe is what I think it is, they'd frakkin' well better get used to it."

...

Really, I just wanted to get "thimble of water a day" in there somewhere.

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

If things get really bad I have this recipe for something called long pig.

Be sure to work that into your next Inspirational Speech.

If the food situation grows dire I'm pretty sure some of the civvies are hoarding

There's a Crisis Card in the Pegasus expansion, called Food Hoarding in the Fleet (President's Choice). If you decide to end the hoarding, you risk destroying one of the civvies.

The decision has been made. Y'all have to survive on Wheat Thins for awhile.

Raiders move one step closer to civilians. Those in sector 2 are now in sector 3. Those in sector 1 are now in SECTOR 6! Jump track advances. That concludes this round.

Apollo has been notified of his card draw. As we await his move and action, I want to point out that sector 6 does have 5 raiders, and only 2 RSV. So that little civilian ship has the chance of 3 raiders attacking it.

What did Apollo choose for his card draw?

Our wings are not tired

Okay kids, this is the first time I've played a pilot so I'm working out the best things to do here.

It does look like setting some hits in on the raiders in Sector 6 would be a good thing. I could move to Sector Six and then start an attack.

With a maximum firepower I could should be able to do some damage in that sector. Thoughts from folks?

However, there was some confusion and I do not have a maximum firepower to play, that that blitz is off the table.

one of each, so he drew 1 Purple, 2 Red, 1 Yellow, 1 Green.

I think that's a pretty good choice. Light 'em up, Captain! That's what we say, right? Is that right?

Edit: or not.

If you don't have an MF but you do have an XO, you could XO the Chief. He can activate Comms twice, which would be enough to draw all the civvies into Sector 5 with you.
