My sincere apologies for the delay, I had to go to uni over my lunch break. We now return to your regularly scheduled slaughter. The Pradmiral has chosen to allow the hoarding to continue. 2 Food has disappeared from the supply chain. Next, the raiders activate. It won't make any difference in which order they get activated, so let's get the pain out up front. The raiders in Sector 1 activate, destroying civilian ships A, B, C and F. Contents:
Ship A: 1 Pop, 1 Fuel
Ship B: 1 Pop
Ship C: 1 Pop
Ship F: 1 Pop, 1 Morale
Ouch. The fifth raider heads for Sector 6, where its four compatriots are firing upon the viper cluster. (Starbuck, feel free to send me EM COs.)
Raider 1: 4. Miss.
Raider 2: 2. Miss.
Raider 3: 6. Viper damaged.
We'll pause here for possible EMs.
BSG
With Command damaged, I'm going to be the only one capable of attacking raiders, outside of the weaponry on one of the capital ships, so I'm afraid I'm going to have to play it conservative with my EMs, guys.
BSG
I've heard from Starbuck, and the result stands. 1 RSV damaged. Final roll:
Raider 4: 4. Miss.
Finally, the jump prep track advances. That concludes Gaeta's turn. Starbuck has opted to draw Green for her optional card draw. As Starbuck begins her turn in space, she may move and take two actions. Starbuck, when you're ready, please post your orders.

Dee, I am giving you the title of Most Valuable Cylon. Weeeeeell played.
BSG
Wow, that was disastrous.
BSG
No XO draw, again.
Okay, let's clear the skies a bit. I play Maximum Firepower 3 to shoot the Raiders in Sector 6. I'll hold my second action until I see the results of the first.
Pass on interrupts.
BSG
Starbuck opens fire!
Attack 1: 1. Miss.
Attack 2: 7. Hit!
Attack 3: 6. Hit!
Attack 1: 7. Hit!
Expert pilot is expert. 3 raiders down, 2 remaining. What would you like to do for your second action?
BSG
I will fire on one of the remaining raiders in my sector.
BSG
But which one? Will the dilemma shake the nerve of Galactica's best pilot?
Attack = 5. Hit!
Apparently not. After such an impressive display of prowess in the midst of a desperate struggle for their lives, naturally your Crisis is:
Forced Water Mining
Current Player's Choice
...Ok, the hell? Is -- Is Starbuck refusing to fight, Achilles-style, until she's assured of her supply of bottled sparkling water? Only one woman knows for sure. Starbuck, when you're ready, please post your choice.
