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.

I have one repair card, but I'm a little busy with said frakkers at the moment.

If we ever get to the point we're not under attack, I'd be happy to spend it repairing vipers, or whatever.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

BSG

Alright Starbuck, have at them! I stay put and Play an XO-1 on Starbuck.

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

BSG

Hold up a moment there Mr President, we're still waiting for your predecessor to decide which vipers get the chop. (If she chooses Starbuck's, she'll start your turn in Sickbay, which may have some bearing on the situation.)

Aaand on that note, I just heard from her. Ok, Starbuck lives, redshirts die. Sector 5 is now viper-free. Gaeta's turn begins, he doesn't move, Starbuck gets an XO. Starbuck, when you're ready, please post your orders.

We need to get those Civvies where I can try to protect them.

In the meantime, I play a Maximum Firepower 4 and open fire on the Raiders in my sector.

For my second action I will fire on one of the raiders.

A total of 5 shots:

Attack 1: 4. Hit!
Attack 2: 4. Hit!
Attack 3: 1. Miss.
Attack 4: 5. Hit!
Attack 5: 7. Hit!

Four raiders down, one to go. Time for Gaeta's Crisis!

We need to get those Civvies where I can try to protect them.

...I am really, really sorry about this.

Jammed Assault
Cylon Attack

Start with raider activations. Only one is in position to fire:

Die roll = 4. Miss.

Other raiders move. There are now raiders in Sectors 5 and 6.

Next, new ships. We're running out of them, I'm afraid. The basestar gets placed, as do the raiders. There should be two new heavy raiders, but there's only one available. They're both destined for Sector 3, so that's easy enough.

The tricky part is with the civvies and vipers. This card calls for 4 civvies and 2 new RSVs, but we only have 2 civvies and 1 viper left. President Gaeta, as current player, it's your choice which ships do not get placed. When you're ready, please post your decision.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

It's a good time to be a Cylon. Anyone want to defect? We have the technology.

I think you're getting yourself confused with Cybermen.

let's put the civvies with Starbuck and the RSV in Sector 5.
