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.

Okay, scratch what I said before, I didn't realize there was a raider activation on this crisis. XOing Tigh to activate one of the RSVs in Sector 6 4 times to shoot at the raiders would be a very good idea right now.

Or there's Zarek's quorum card, though I don't know the exact details of that.

I think XOing Zarek should wait until we have more purple in hand (since there is a die roll involved, and with no SPs we risk population).

Move: Some loop de loops in Sector 5, but otherwise I choose not to move.
Action: Play a G2 to XO Tigh to be able activate 2 vipers (twice) in Sector 6 and attack those raiders.

Sounds like a plan.

Action 1 Activate 2 vipers in Sector 6 to fire upon the raiders there.

Action 2 Second verse, same as the first, a little bit louder and a little bit worse!

Hopefully Helo you can help with a reroll if things go poorly.

Oooh, thanks for reminding me. Yes, I'd like to use my reroll if anything goes south.

Excellent! I come home, and there are things to do!

Attack of viper #1 from action #1. Random Roll is: 1!

Aaaand we pause to see if Helo wants to use his re-roll ability?

duh, there were CO's right above where I was typing. Long day? No, what makes you say that.

BSG

Let's try this again. Activation #1 RSV #1 reroll: 1 again. Yikes.

Activation #1, RSV #2 roll: 5! That puppy is destroyed!

Activation #2 RSV#1 roll: 5! That puppy is also destroyed!

Activation #2, RSV#2 roll: 7!! Another one bites the dust!

Nice shooting RSV's!

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

BSG

Guys, I know we've had our differences before, but if Zarek doesn't want to be President anymore, I'll volunteer. I've been following his Presidenting style - nice work, by the way - and I think I could do that. Especially fooding a fifth of your Population. I especially promise, if you let me be President, not to encourage mutiny. Unless it's funny.

When I played the Destiny Deck cards into the check, it depleted it. While restocking it, Tactics (Purple) and Piloting (Red) decks were also reshuffled.
