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

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

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.

I do have an XO so that is an option.

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

BSG

I agree it's a good time to check out those civvies. Maybe the one in Sector 6 isn't even manned.

We also have the option of jumping early (with the risk of losing population).

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

BSG

I'd rather trust in the RSVs to defend the single civvie in sector 6 than try to jump early, at this point. I'm not sure what the max amount of pop a civvie ship can carry is, but I'm pretty sure it's less than 3.

Illigitimi non carborundum

BSG

But I believe--correct me if I am wrong--civvie ships can also carry food (and fuel). Which we don't want to lose.

I'd say maybe XOing Chief to move the civvies is the best idea, but I'd also be behind doing what you can in the cockpit.

My favorite options in order are-

1 XO Chief to move the civvies

2 Jump early

3 Go shoot at the cylons in a viper

I'm going dark again. The library's closed tomorrow.

I agree with Laga's order.
