...doom awaits, but none know in what shape it will arrive. None but the phones. Will our plucky heroes survive? Or will the ringtone of PAIN soon sound?

Well, I think we all knew that in a contest between Melbourne and LA commutes, there was really only one possible outcome. Hey, did you know that Pegasus adds a new Cylon attack Super Crisis? This is not that attack. This is:
Massive Assault
Oh, the humanity. First things first: the existing basestar activates, firing on Galactica! (Or Pegasus!)
Die roll = 8. Hit! But where? Dee-3PO, which ship would you like to damage?
Whilwe we await an answer, heavy raiders also activate. We have a couple on the board; they sidle up a little closer. One, in fact, is primed to board. You also have a Centurion that Dee left for you when she revealed. (I don't know where she'd been keeping it. Aren't there weight limits on crew luggage?) It advances one space.
And now, the moment you've all been waiting for! Let's add some new ships. We already have a basestar, so only one new basestar gets added. Dee has chosen Sector 3. Finally - and this is the part that really hurts - I'm afraid you've experienced a power failure. The jumptrack is set back two spaces.
Crew of Galactica, I give you Anastasia Dualla, former comrade and Lady of Pain.

Pummel Galactica!

I have received the good word from Dee. She chooses to damage Galactica. And the damage is... Weapons Control.
It could've been worse, she could have hit FTL Control or your Fuel. But this is pretty bad too, as it sends Ellen to Sickbay, just as her turn is starting. Ellen, you may now draw only 1 card for your turn. Which colour would you like?

Crew of Galactica, I give you Anastasia Dualla, former comrade and Lady of Pain.
MOST VALUABLE CYLON.
And the damage is... Weapons Control.
HELLS YES.
But this is pretty bad too, as it sends Ellen to Sickbay, just as her turn is starting.
THIS IS AMAZING.
BSG
Ack! I knew there was a reason we shouldn`t trust those eyes.
I`ll take a
Yellow
I guess.
BSG
I've never been so proud!
