Starbuck enacts her most daring plan yet! It's just a jump to the left...

Sector 5 attack: 8. Hit!

And a step to the right!

Sector 6 attack: 4. Hit!

Put your hands on your hips (XO to Gaeta), and bring your knees in tight (well, knee):

Main batteries: 5. 2 raiders destroyed!

A total of 4 raiders in three different sectors. The Cylons quickly realise that in order to press their attack, they need to neutralise Starbuck, and that means neutralising her supply of bottled water:

Starbuck, when you're ready, please post your choice.

I think we can stand to lose the food.

BSG

Nice. It took 3 cards to manage the equivalent of one Max Firepower, but hey, it worked.

Yeah. I say we take the food loss and move on.

I choose -1 Food

Side Note: I'm pretty sure Roslin discarded something to move to FTL Control on her last turn.

Side Note: I'm pretty sure Roslin discarded something to move to FTL Control on her last turn.

That is correct, she stated that she discarded a CP-1.

Food drops by 1. Next, the raiders activate. The order in which the sectors activate might make a difference; as current player, it's Starbuck's choice. Starbuck, there are raiders in Sectors 2, 4, 5 and 6. In what order would you like to run them?

BSG

That is correct, she stated that she discarded a CP-1.

I believe Kalshane was pointing out that her location is still listed as President's Office.

Colonial One is empty. Let's blow it up!

6,5,4,2

I'll play an EM for any viper hit.

I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about. t whistle

Raider activations! We start with the 4 raiders in Sector 6:

Attack 1: 6. Viper damaged! Starbuck plays an EM-1.
Attack 1a: 5 - 2 = 3. Miss!
Attack 2: 3. Miss!
Attack 3: 2. Miss!
Attack 4: 8. Viper destroyed! But Starbuck has another EM-1:
Attack 4a: 3 - 2 = 1. Miss.

Starbuck mocks the raiders with her monkeypants. Their compatriot in Sector 5 tries to take it out on the RSV:

Attack 5: 8. Viper destroyed! Starbuck is into the top-shelf stuff now, an EM-2:
Attack 5a: 3. Miss. Starbuck saves Christmas! But the raiders in Sectors 2 and 4 advance to Sectors 1 and 5 respectively.

Saved Christmas must mean pressies, so here's one: the jump prep track advances by 1. That concludes Starbuck's turn. Dee draws three cards, which must all be of different colours. Dee, when you're ready, please post your choice of card draw.

Son of a bitch! What the hell is wrong with you, Raiders? Can't take down two measly Vipers??

Dee, give 'em hell. I'd recommend activating both basestars in hopes of damaging FTL Control and the Armoury or hitting their Fuel. Alternatively, Starbuck used up a bunch of EMs, so activating all the Raiders NOW may get the Vipers out of the way and take out some civvies. (If she has more up her sleeve, though, it'll be a waste.)

BSG

this is so exciting!

edit: I meant to say,

"Holy Frak, Starbuck! Nice flying!"
