Movement Step: Grunt's Ghosts remains in the Brig. Action Step: Grunt's Ghosts plays Tactics 4 - Unorthodox Plan, activating Weapons Control, firing at a Raider in Fore (9 o'clock). The attack misses.
Kat's supporters continue to help out, manning Galactica's weapon systems.
Turn 26: Lee Adama (Tenek)
Receive Skills Step: Lee Adama (Tenek) draws 1 Tactics, 2 Piloting, and 2 Leadership cards.
Active Quorum Cards:
Accept Prophecy - Prevent transfer of President title via the Administration location or increase difficulty of Admiral's Quarters checks against the President by 2; card is used once before discarded.
Ship Reserves: 4 Viper Mk II, 2 Raptors, and 1 Assault Raptor available, 4 Viper Mk VIIs damaged.
So, XO target: D'Anna or Cain? Are we still planning to SoE next turn? Or this one? XO + SoE would still give us the scout, Main Batteries, Command, Brig attempts and another Quorum draw.
Tenek on

I'd say XO Cain. SOE means D'Anna still gets to activate the comm twice before civvies are in danger.
Well hope we have the tactics cards to let you guys out of the brig. Might be OK after Cain's draw...
Re: brig check after XO... risky. Clearing destiny... eeeeh... there's a 50/50 chance that the thing either adds 2 more treachery, or a civ to AFT, neither of which we need right now. Civs should be cleared first. We're still low on cards and should stretch out draws without crisis as much as we can. If missile launch activation is drawn - about half of the stuff it could hit is vital at the moment. If it's an Admiral discards, admiral is sickbay'ed, or (to counter the luck of the 1 distance) Admiral executed - we are fucked.
Knife edge here. Excellent plan with SoE/XO/Counter-XO to do awesome things... "I vent through some trouble to prepare that game for McClane. You interfered with a well-laid plan" :P
@Professor Phobos If you're considering a nuke on fore - good target, just bear in mind: if on your turn (or Adama's if he still wants to risk a brig check), there's a basestar launch, the entire cylon fleet comes down, and we're not yet in FTL position. Since I'll counter-XO you on my turn with only 1 crisis inbetween (and for that crisis both our pilots would be out), you can nuke then, you bloodthirsty CAGmiral you.
Also - on your turn, move to somewhere an XO on you would do us the most good.
I'd say XO Cain. SOE means D'Anna still gets to activate the comm twice before civvies are in danger.
If I get the SoE/XO that I'm hoping Cain draws, I will clear both from Starboard-Quarter, launch into Port-bow and clear that. That's 6 activations. With piloting cards up to the ears, those vipers can probably survive a round or two getting shot. Doubly so if Cain's current XO either nukes or otherwise thins out the horde.
I like my odds on the Treachery card, anyways... 2 of them are "add more to the large pile on the board" and 2 are negated by me being in the Brig already.
@Tenek Clearing Destiny... ugh. Yeah, we're dealing with a definite negative, but sheer odds say that it's probably a small negative. If you clear it - then the first 2 times that the new destiny will be used is to get you and Kat out of the brig on SoE, bringing the destiny deck back up to 2/3rds hostile with higher value cards possible in the mix. I'd rather ensure getting one of you out by dealing with the probable much smaller negative.
But this is personal preference rather than probability or tactics - I prefer dealing with knowns, even bad ones.
I would totally take the whole fleet crashing down before we jump.
I would too, but I didn't mean on Cain's turn. We should get a Jump-Track advance before we invite the Cylons. I will XO Cain on my turn anyway - she can nuke then, by then we've had 2 crisis to give us a jump track advance and Doc or Romo can FTL us out. Ooh - delaying will also give Cain extra tactics for strat plans.
Does anyone have a Major Victory? If I nuke the basestar, we could use the morale. Also am I moving anywhere or just staying put and Launching a Scout + Something else?
Alrighty. First things first, I play Tactics 1 - Launch Scout. After that, I Activate Main Battery, Targeting the Raiders next to the Basestar at the Fore.
And I like, throw my miracle token my cat, LSO Mittens, since I can't blind jump anymore
Movement Step: Tenek remains at the Brig. Action Step: Tenek plays Leadership 2 - Executive Order, targeting Helena Cain (Professor Phobos). Professor Phobos uses his first action to play Tactics 1 - Launch Scout, targeting the Destination Deck. The roll is successful, and Professor Phobos looks at the top card of the Destination Deck then replaces it on the bottom of the deck. For his second action, Professor Phobos activates Main Batteries, targeting the Fore (9 o'clock) area. Four Raiders are destroyed.
Tenek uses his general ability to activate the Brig.

Pass: Tenek may move from the Brig to any location on Galactica.
Fail: No effect.

Sorry, but it's a good time to burn the Treachery if nothing else.
Launch Scout roll was successful, which deck are you scouting?
Geth roll 1d8 for Launch Scout
Hopefully I'll pick up another Scout on my turn.
Yeah... no... race for the finish.
XOs outrank scout launching, Phobos
Edit: guess it should be mommy phobos...
