Aha! I knew it!

BTW, Zarek, if you can play 2-3, please do, if not, I got your back.

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

BSG

Mr President, I just want you to know that it was all worthwhile, spiking this check, just to make you play that P2. My only regret is that you have but one P2 to give for your country. Wait. No I don't. Carry on!

It's Caprica, isn't it? You're missing Caprica. I've been spending some time there recently, and I tell you, it's quite the holiday planet. You wouldn't believe the property prices there right now!

Good job, team. I think this going to turn out to be a huge check for us. Sorry I couldn't help more (ie at all beyond the IC.) Glad our food is up to a less nerve-racking level, even if the pantry isn't exactly over-flowing.

Hopefully we can get away sickbay roulette and manage to get some cards in people's hands.

Since I am heading out to the opera house (but not The Opera House) for the evening, thoughts on my turn? For the immediate future, I can defend Sector 5, so I'm thinking about XOing Tigh to activate the vipers in Sector 6 to go after the raiders heading their way.

You could have Tigh launch more vipers, but I'd recommend against him moving them into sector 1 with the raiders as the raiders would likely be activated and be able to shoot the RSVs before they could shoot the raiders.

I suppose Tigh could activate 1 RSV 4 times, once to move it into sector 1, then 3 more times to shoot at raiders, but that would still leave it in a sector with one more raider. Though I suppose the chance of the raider being activated before someone else's turn and then actually destroying the RSV would be pretty low. So that could be plan.

Another plan would be to XO me so I could take a couple potshots at the basestars with Galactica's guns.

PASS

An exact pass! Well done team humans. Jeez toasters, try to give y'all a shot at hurting them. Pfft. Whatever.

Let's see what passing the check gets you. +1 Food! That is great!

Raiders are activated. So we have 2 in sector 5 with Helo and some civvies and a RSV. And 4 in sector 6 with 3 RSV and a couple civvies.

Jump Track is advanced, but still in the red. Yikes. Can't jump early. Better hope the next crisis card doesn't activate Raiders.

And that wraps up Zarek's turn. Stay tuned for the improved end of turn Summary!
