    As his first course of action, Agathon orders the launching of a scouting mission 2 to nearby sectors. 2, unfortunately the mission isn't going so well, they seem to have run into space turbulence. Do you want to help them out, Admiral Helo? With his help, the mission rating is upgraded to a...2. They're never heard from again. -1 Raptor.

    Citizens of the fleet: Sorry to say but I am feeling pretty sympathetic towards the cylons right about now. What can I say, they plied me with cheap liquor and all the DVDs of colonial soap operas I could handle.

    In any case, I plan on destroying you all. Toodles!

    6, the first raider hits. Spectral Spork uses a piloting 2 to warn Apollo of the incoming shot. 6-2=4. Miss.

    I have consulted with the Quorom and they should be able to free one of you. Citizens of the Colonial Fleet, I believe it makes most sense for Tigh to XO me, and for me to free him on his turn, thus if he is a Cylon, he won't be able to reveal for a while.
