Sector 5: 2 Raiders, 2 RSVs, Civilians A B
Vipers, I am liking the color of your shirt.
BSG
That's a lot of raiders. Let's get out of here soon.
BSG
So many Cylons. How soon do we jump - ASAP, and blow up a few civvie ships? Or try to push our way through to more Jump Prep?
BSG
Does anyone have Strategic Planning?
BSG
Happy birthday, Gaeta! We're totally fucked!
BSG
But I have croissants and coffee. If we get these pilots loaded up with sugar and caffeine we can run rings around those tin cans.
BSG
I'd like Dee's opinion on whether we need to jump ASAP - those Civvies might not need as much protection as we think. Then we have to decide if we believe her, of course.
Without taking that into account, Starbuck might be able to take out enough Raiders to buy us time for a safer jump.
I would really love to finish off that Basestar, it's so close to blowing up! But I don't think it's a priority right now.
BSG
I respectfully disagree - if we stick around to get a safer place to jump from (further down the track), that Basestar will produce 2 new Raiders every time Raiders activate, in addition to whenever the Basestar itself is activated. I think destroying it with the Galactica is a priority, while those who can pilot Vipers mop up the Raiders, and Dee "motivates" the civvies to skedaddle.
It's unfortunate I can't really do any of those things myself. Well, maybe I can pull a trigger or two.
BSG
That's a good point, but I think the raiders in sector 5 are our first priority if we aren't jumping immediately.
Too bad you didn't take it out last time you were firing weapons, Ellen.
