Sorry, sorry! The delay's all my fault.

##MOVE to FTL

## ACTION: Trigger the jump!

Race for the stars~

Turn 23 -  Current Board

Admiral Adama decides that the fleet is in too much danger to waste time waiting for final checks on the FTL jump data, and heads to FTL control to order the jump to take place immediately.  Unfortunately, one of the civilian ships had an error in their data and did not arrive with the fleet.

Lady Door activates FTL Control, d8=2.  1 Population lost.  The destination she chose is Remote Planet: 2 Distance, lose 1 Fuel, destroy 1 Raptor.

Admiral Adama decides to head out in a Raptor and personally scout this new planet for any dangers or resources it may have.

Sooooo... what say you guys?

I'm really tempted to take the roll. So tired of losing cards to failed checks. Stupid robots.

I think losing Fuel at all has the potential to be fatal at this juncture? I hate to say, but we are likely better off taking the check, failing it and hoping someone can XO you out of sickbay.

... alright then, with all that feedback over 2 days, I think I'll make the choice that has less chance of catastrophic failure.

## Choose the Check

That means it's Alex, then Andrew, then Nitori, then Stelas, then me.

I'm not bothering to enforce turn order on most checks right now.  Only if it's potentially game-ending, you guys request it, or Investigative Committee is used.

That said, Alex preloaded ##Play 0.

Turn 24 - Current Board

Whether it was sabotage or merely poor maintenance, Apollo's raptor malfunctions and crashes when he attempts to land back on the ship.  Apollo has to be rushed to Sickbay with injuries, and the Raptor he was using is a total loss.

Meanwhile, back on Caprica, the Cylons continue to scheme ways to destroy the last remnants of the Human race.

Sir Alex has preloaded his turn to draw Politics and Piloting cards, and to activate Caprica.  The two Crisis cards have been sent to him to choose between.



----------
Tactics/Piloting/Engineering skill check, Target=15

Two cards are added to the check from the Destiny Deck.  The Destiny Deck is exhausted, and is rebuilt with two cards from each deck.

Cards Played:

Tactics-1 Launch Scout

Politics-2 Consolidate Power

1-2= -1 FAIL!

One Raptor is destroyed and Apollo is sent to Sickbay.

After Crisis: Jump Prep increases.

Turn 25 - Current Board

The Cylons have caught up to the Galactica, and two of their Basestars are already in firing range. The ship rocks as two salvos tear into the hull.  Chief Tyrol is caught in an explosion and hurried to Sickbay.

d8 rolls are 8 and 6, two hits.  FTL Control and the Armory are damaged.  Chief Tyrol was in the Armory so is sent to Sickbay.

Okay. So. For the XO action, I guess I shall do the above. That is to say.

##Move: FTL
##Play: 1 Repair


For my real turn (after I draw), I shall

##Move: Armory
##Play: 1 Repair
##Tyrol Play: 1 Consolidate Power to draw 2 Leadership cards


Hopefully that fixes everything?

Turn 25 - Current Board

Neither Apollo nor Chief Tyrol are content to sit around in Sickbay while the ship falls to pieces around them.  Apollo jumps in his Viper to go meet the enemy head-on, and Chief Tyrol gets his repairs crews moving to repair the damage to the ship in record time.

In the midst of all this, a junior officer brings a report to Chief Tyrol's attention, as Admiral Adama is currently unavailable.  They managed to access the destroyed Raptor's logs and have determined that the planet Apollo had been scouting has water available on it.  However, they still aren't sure why the Raptor went down in the first place, so going near it may be dangerous...


----------
Crisis: Scouting for Water


Current Player Chooses:

Tactics/Piloting skill check, target=9

Pass: +1 Food

Fail: -1 Fuel and destroy 1 Raptor


OR


-1 Food


After Crisis: Activate Raiders(since none are on the board, 2 launch from each Basestar), +1 Jump Prep.

Whoops the decision hasn't been made yet so I won't be playing any. I'll be preloading some actions though, as I'm flying back to the UK this weekend.

My computer is out of commission for the moment.  Hopefully it'll be running soon.  I can still get you a crisis with my physical cards, though, so go ahead and take your turn, Nitori.

I can't get you those cards until I get my computer back, sorry.

The crisis is:

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(since there are 2 Basestars already, another cannot be placed, but the other ships can).
