On the Three Raiders and then the Heavy Raider if I have shots left.
<bzzt> "Baltar are you behind these rumors? What more do you all want from a girl these days jeez!
It wasn't my fault. Chief said those weapons were good to go, so I don't know what more to tell you. I guess the targeting sensor must have been malfunctioned or something.
But seriously, I just wrecked like 3 raiders. If you want to send me to the brig, at least wait until after I kill the heavy raider."
Please pass this check. I really don't want to be in the brig with 2 basestars chilling near us.
Hopefully we should be able to take this down np. I will be able to contribute a small amount.

Ms. Thrace, despite what you may think of me, I don't base all of my actions solely on sex. Some of them are based on how I may best serve the people of the Twelve Colonies, which may then lead to sex.
Regardless, I will be unable to contribute to the effort to waive these suspicions against you, as the resources of the President's Office have been stretched to the absolute limit by this myriad of crises.

**CRISIS**
Rescue the Fleet
Admiral Chooses
-2 population
OR
-1 morale. Place 1 basestar and 3 raiders in front of Galactica and 3 civilian ships behind it. (activate raiders) (jump prep)
People of the Fleet, it is I, Tom Zarek. I believe that Admiral Adama has made a frivolous decision and I suggest that further decisions, military or otherwise be consulted with the Fleet in order to make an informed decision.
Adama has sacrificed innocent people in order to prevent 3 raiders from appearing in front of our ship (As Basestars can't come out do to limitations). With our three star pilots we should be more than able to protect our civilian ships, especially since no raiders will enter 3 O'clock soon and the raiders that spawn will spawn in 9 O'Clock, far away from harming the civilian fleet.
Giving the pilots till the end of the hour to send in some contingencies, otherwise will continue with no evasive maneuvers being played for this round.

As the President of the Twelve Colonies, I as well must express my disapproval at the actions of the Admirality in this time of extreme crisis. We have the technology to destroy the raiders that are sent at us; we have the fortitude and spirit to hold back any Cylon threat. Our pilots are the best in the galaxy, and yet he decides that they cannot protect the ships of the last few humans that exist in the universe?
We are a dying race, my fellow human being. We have been exterminated to an inch of our collective lives; at this point in time, we should be making children, not allowing significant sections of the last remnants of our race to be sacrificed for foolhardy and unconsulted reasoning.
Admiral William Adama, be aware that your future actions will be run under close scrutiny. I suggest that you consult with the fleet before making such a dangeous decision in the future.
(also admiral... if you jump a 1 distance planet SO HELP ME GOD... i will brig you myself!)
I, Tom Zarek, have seen many a travesty in my life. However, I don't believe we will witness this one. Nobody, Cylon or Human, would ever be that overt.
Helo looked around in dismay as the struggling stragglers that represented all that was left of Caprican civilization were mowed down by Centurions, while he himself twisted desperately through the scrub that used to be the Old Forest, trying to shake off pursuit.
At least they'd ensured a portion of the populace had made it back to the fleet, where they'd surely be safe from the cruel fate of random chance or capricious decisions ...

People of the Fleet, it is I, Tom Zarek. It is time for us to mobilize, we need to do whatever we can in order to prevent this crisis from destroying our fleet.
Due to our foolish Admiral, we have already lost 40% of the already dismally small number of people who survived the attacks on the Twelve Colonies. Our CAG was recently injured in battle, along with two other pilots. I am sorry to say this to you Lee, but there is no time to rest. It is a time for action. I am giving an !Executive Order-2 to Apollo. I suggest you report to command and grab a wingman and get out there and protect the civilian fleet. Thousands of citizens will be counting on you.
Hey only 20% of that was my fault and I admit it was a bad call. This is what I get when I rush decisions whilst hungover trying to get out the door to work. In my head it made more sense to me then than it does now but hindsight is 20/20 as they say.

During a time of crisis, it is no time to be knocking back bottles. I assume that you were doing this with the XO, Saul Tigh. How can the people of the fleet feel safe when its military leaders are making poor judgment decisions due to external factors?

Gentlemen, please, you can't fight now! This is a time of war!
The Admirality has made a grave mistake in his decision; whether this was due to stress, drunken issues, or influences from those beyond the Gods, we shall find out soon enough. We cannot, however risk losing any more population; other resources, we can find ways to recover, but we're talking about people. There are so few of us left.
Naturally, once we have the capabilities or more evidence, I will fully support the use of my prototype Cylon Detector on the Admiral. Until then, however, I suggest we just keep him under close suspicion, and make sure he does not assist in the extermination of our race any further.

Admiral, your decision?
There is already too many civ ships out there for my liking. Not to mention the amount of cylons. Dont want to add any more of either at this point.
Adama has sacrificed innocent people in order to prevent 3 raiders from appearing in front of our ship (As Basestars can't come out do to limitations). With our three star pilots we should be more than able to protect our civilian ships, especially since no raiders will enter 3 O'clock soon and the raiders that spawn will spawn in 9 O'Clock, far away from harming the civilian fleet.
We are a dying race, my fellow human being. We have been exterminated to an inch of our collective lives; at this point in time, we should be making children, not allowing significant sections of the last remnants of our race to be sacrificed for foolhardy and unconsulted reasoning.
Admiral William Adama, be aware that your future actions will be run under close scrutiny. I suggest that you consult with the fleet before making such a dangeous decision in the future.
I have been trained for this over the course of the last couple months so I hope that my evasive patterns are successful.

He received the executive order from the President. " Back to work. "
Lee quickly ran to Command and jumped into a viper.
