Priority should probably be getting those Civvies into Sector 5 where Apollo can cover them. We're two raider activations from losing the ship in Sector 4.

I'd suggest XOing Boomer to do it so she gets out of Sickbay before the start of her turn.

BSG

I was thinking that that was what I wanted to do anyway. So I will play a G1 to XO Boomer with a request that she move to communications.

I choose not to move and remain in the Press Room.

Ok! I like Helo's plan. He's the man with the plan, right there.

Move to Communications
Action: Check out ships B and D

"Hey guys, what's up? Oh, this is Lieutenant Valerii. Yes, that's right, the one from the news. This is better though, isn't it? I mean, you don't have the press messing with what you say. They always wanted soundbites, you know? 'Um... could you put that into a soundbite?', that's what they were always asking me. Now we can really talk, you know? So... How's things? ...Cylons? Oh yes, they're flying around out there somewhere. I wouldn't worry too much about it, they never seem to hit anything. You'd think we were in the original series, wouldn't you?"

"Hey, listen, could you guys do me a favour? Could you send me over the ship's manifests, you know, the people and the stuff you have on board? Oh, we're having a scavenger hunt over here. We've got to find things, like a writing pad without the corners cut off or Admiral Tigh's missing wife, that kind of thing. I'm a bit behind, I spent some time in the Brig (long story), so all I have so far is a shiv. Oh, and a Cylon (giggle). Don't worry, she's harmless. Friendly, even. That one's worth almost as many points as Ellen Tigh. Oh! Imagine if Ellen Tigh was a Cylon! You could win the whole game with just her!"

"Anyway, if you could help me out here I'd really appreciate it. Send over the lists, and if you have anything good, I'll get you to move up near the launch bays and pop over and get it."

Boomer, insent.

BSG

Ok, let's check out these manifests. There's a "My colony was attacked by the Cylons, and all I got was this lousy t-shirt" t-shirt, an Aerelon pot-belly pig - who travels with one pig? - a Caprica Buccaneers jersey, with Caprica Buccaneer still attached... Ooh, sweet. One of those ships has a genuine original recording of "Mr Roboto", with actual robots! That's going to be worth a few points.

Move both ships into Sector 5.

BSG

Well, ok. Both those puppies are moved. Damn shame. Those raiders were getting close. There could have been action. I could have been rolling dice. Assessing damage. It'd have been better than Vegas. Noooooo. Boomer has to play "follow the leader" with the civvies, and move them to Sector 5. Whatever.

But hey. That means it's Crisis Card time!

Cylon Tracking Device
10 RPB

Details to be sent shortly. Discuss options, and e-mail CO's. Also, post if anyone wants to play an interrupt. Since blue is already positive, it's just IC's.

BSG

A tracking device? No, don't be silly, it's a Mr Roboto recording! This is my ticket to scavenger hunt glory! ...The b-side? Um, lessee... something called "All Along The Watchtower". No, I've never heard of it before. Does it mean anything to you?

Ok, that's not good. We fail this, it undoes the Admiral's good work in nuking that basestar, and my moving the civvies too. No jump icon either. On the plus side, Helo, Apollo and I all have pretty full hands right now, and these are good colours for us. I think we'll want to give this a hefty push.

BSG

I can only help a little but I agree it's very important we pass this check. Do we still have an IC?

I pass on interrupts

BSG

After all Boomer's work, I call foul! Also, I call an Investigative Committee to look into this nasty toy.

I play a Y3 interrupt.

BSG

I can help a lot with this check. (And pass on interrupts, since Helo covered the IC and a SR isn't go to help.)

(Side Note: Have we had a single check in the dark in this game? Seems like we've been keeping the Cylons on their toes with constant ICs. Maybe that's why I haven't been feeling much in the way of dread/paranoia.)
