[BSG: Base] Game 22; Human Fleet adrift in space; Cylons Win!

simonwolf

psst rius

you forgot to knock us up a jump prep on the image for zarek's turn

Rius

Ooh, good catch. Fixing it now!

Edit: Why, I don't know what you're talking about!

IAmUnaware

Option A: -1 Morale and Tom Zarek goes to Sickbay.

Rius

Unwilling to risk another Raptor, the Admiral decides not to mount a rescue mission. Tom Zarek wanders down to Sickbay in a daze to consult with the President about the situation as the morale in the fleet takes another dive.

Raiders @ 1 O'Clock fire at Lee;

1d8=2 Miss!
1d8=1 Miss!
1d8=4 Miss!
1d8=5 Hit! Lee plays 1 Piloting - Evasive Maneuvers.
Reroll: 1d8-2=4 Miss!

Displaying some fancy flying maneuvers, Lee covers the civilian ships behind Galactica long enough for them to Jump out; he then executes a combat landing right before the port side hangar bay locks into place as Galactica activates her FTL engines, leaving the Cylon fleet behind.

Sending destination cards to the Admiral.

Rius

Admiral Tigh chooses a Tylium Planet.

Tylium Planet 1: Lose 1 fuel. The Admiral may risk 1 raptor to roll a die. If 3 or higher, gain 2 fuel. Otherwise, destroy 1 raptor.

The fleet gains 1 Distance and loses 1 Fuel. Admiral Tigh chooses not to risk another Raptor.

Distance is now 4; Sleeper Phase is activated. Sending out second round of Loyalty Cards and then I'll do the next round update.

Admiral Tigh, what are your orders?

Darian

Need to update Lee's location in the spoiler.

Rius

Done and Done; PMs are all sent with updated Loyalty and Hands.

iamtheaznman

"Admiral, I believe the President should get out of the sickbay, perhaps you can command him with an executive order to?"

IAmUnaware

Admiral Tigh enters the hangar and walks purposefully toward the newly landed viper. Helping Lee out of his cockpit, he shakes the man's hand. "That was a hell of a piece of flying out there, Apollo. Believe me when I say you truly deserve this." Before Lee has time to consider what that means, Tigh draws his sidearm and fires twice into the younger man's abdomen. "Congratulations on your promotion, Admiral Adama." Tigh then turns the pistol on himself before any of the crew can get their filthy human hands on him.

Saul Tigh reveals as a Cylon, discarding:
1 Tactics - Launch Scout
1 Tactics - Launch Scout
2 Tactics - Launch Scout
2 Leadership - Executive Order

Osvik

Well who could have seen that coming...Oh wait.....

Darian

I'm assuming you've got this, yes?

You Are a Cylon
(Number 8 - Boomer) Can Send a Character to Sickbay
Action: Reveal this card. If you are not in the "Brig," you may choose a character on Galactica. That character must discard 5 Skill Cards and is moved to "Sickbay."

If so, Apollo will need to discard down to one card (at random, as per his disability).

Rius

That is indeed his loyalty card; Apollo discards the following cards and is sent to Sickbay. He is also promoted to Admiral.

1 Tactics - Launch Scout
2 Tactics - Launch Scout
3 Leadership - Declare Emergency
2 Piloting - Evasive Maneuvers
3 Politics - Investigative Committee

Saul Tigh is revealed as a Cylon and moves to the Resurrection Ship. PM'ing him his Super Crisis Card.

Admiral Adama, what is your 1 card draw?

iamtheaznman

"Nurse, get me the radio, I have a message to broadcast."

"People of the Fleet, it is I, Tom Zarek. Despite the Admiral being a Cylon, sabotage was minimal. We will be able to carry on. Lee Adama will take over as Admiral and I fully back him up."

Tom winces in pain a bit as he gets up and heads towards Lee's bed.

"Lee, I know that times may be tough, but you need to get out there. The people need someone to rally around, and your leadership may be what gets us through these tough times. You should also command Gaius to stop being lazy and to get back to work."

imo Dracil, if your last card isn't an XO, I'd draw leadership in hopes of getting Gaius out.

IAmUnaware

Tom Zarek backing the military? What strange bedfellows are created when the admiral is a frakking toaster.

Dracil

I'll draw the leadership as per Zarek's suggestion.

Dracil

Zarek's right. We didn't elect you president so you could sit around sickbay. Get back to work Play 1 - Executive Order on Baltar

Oh um, I should also probably move somewhere else so I don't lose cards again. I'll go to communications.

Also, rules question. Isn't Tigh supposed to give his other loyalty card to someone else? Who was it given to? Or is that with sympathizers only.

Darian

That's a Cylon location he can choose, if he decides he wants to:

Resurrection Ship - Action: You may discard your Super Crisis Card to draw a new one. Then, if you distance is 7 or less, give your unrevealed Loyalty Card(s) to any player.

when a revealed cylon gets his new loyalty card(s) at sleeper phase, he chooses another player to pass them off to.

simonwolf

Man, you guys suck. I was just hanging around here with the beautiful nurses and now I've gotta go do some "work"? Can't you see I was hard at work already? At at work gettin' in some panties?

Go ahead and discard 1 Engineering - Repair so I can get back to my presidential ship. Specifically, the back to the President's Office.

I'd then like to get some busy work done - activate my office, would you?

iamtheaznman

Post sleeper and you don't check the Admiral as Baltar? FOR SHAME.

simonwolf

whooooooooops

EDIT: Since technically my turn hasn't been resolved yet, can I have take-backs? Otherwise I'll just OPG the Admiral on my next turn, but the whole "post-sleeper" thing didn't really click with me!

Rius

The only reason your turn hasn't been resolved yet is because I was tired as balls after DM'ing last night, so no go on the take-backs. Someone can always XO you if you'd like to fire up the Detector sooner than your next turn.

simonwolf

Rius you're such a meanie

Rius

PM'ing first President's office Quorum Card to Simonwolf.

Rius

Sorry man, not trying to be mean, just trying to be fair

simonwolf

meanie

Rius

Blue Meanies

Rius

Gaius heads to the President's Office and drums up some support among the Quorum; he draws 2 Quorum cards. An aide enters the cabin and hands over a report; Today's crisis is a reported water shortage in the fleet.

Water Shortage
President Chooses:

A) -1 Food

OR

The President discards 2 Skill Cards; then the current player discards 3 Skill Cards.

((Activate Basestars))
((Jump Prep))

President Baltar, what is your decision?

simonwolf

I think this is a pretty obvious choice to go with a discard, but I always like to confer with my constituents before I press forward with my mandate.

but not with my ladydates

Dracil

If you hadn't revealed the card you needed to discard, the take-back might've been more kosher. But yeah, just go ahead and OPG me when you get the chance.

As for the crisis, top choice is like basically choosing to fail on purpose, while second choice is like passing with you spending all the cards for it.

iamtheaznman

Exp since Apollo has one card.

Dracil

Oh right, I forgot it's actually my turn still. So yeah, bottom choice is only 3 cards total.

simonwolf

That's what I figured!

lez discard dis sheit
2 Engineering - Repair
2 Piloting - Evasive Maneuvers

iamtheaznman

Tom Zarek had enough of the sickbay. He was needed in the press room to run damage control, he could only handle being away from politics for so long.

"Doc, I'm ready to get out of here."

"No way am I letting you out without an executive order, I saw the expression on your face as you walked towards Lee's bed."

"Well, perhaps I can get an order than."

Chief, I could use an XO on your turn to get out of the sickbay.

Dracil

1 Piloting - Evasive Maneuvers was discarded by Apollo.

Osvik

Can I get a hand update before it hits my turn so I can decide what single card to draw

Rius

Sure thing; updates coming soon.

Edit: Actually, Chief, you're the only one who didn't hit Sickbay; you'll get your full draw.

Osvik

Oh yeah. Everyone else seemed to be there I just assumed :P
