Sorry little Raptor.

[Yakumo]

Turn 30 - Current Board

The last Raptor remaining on board the Galactica was sent off on a scouting mission to try and determine which direction the fleet should be heading.  Unfortunately, the only things the Raptor found were Cylons.  It was quickly destroyed, and the Cylon Basestar has managed to follow it's trail back to the fleet.

Also, because I'm here, and I have been given the ULTIMATE POWER as Admiral President, I am going to push the big red button and laugh maniacally.

I mean, I am going to fret and carefully press the red button and chew on my fingernails and hope it was all worth the risk. mwah ahahah.

## FIRE ZE MISSLES!! (Activate a Nuke Token)

[Yakumo]

Turn 30 - Current Board

Chief Tyrol finally gets around to repairing Admiral Adama's quarters.  Admiral Adama decides to celebrate the event with a speech and an impromptu fireworks show.  Unfortunately, people were too distracted by the explosions to listen to him talking.

AndrewRogue repaired the Admiral's Quarters and used his extra action to play Executive Order on Lady Door.  Lady Door plays Inspirational Speech with her first action.  Roll=3, no effect and card is discarded.  Her second action is to launch a Nuke.  Roll=8, Basestar destroyed(3 Raiders would also have been destroyed but were not present).  One Nuke Token remains.

Shortly after the celebration, a civilian ship which had gone missing on a previous jump mysteriously reappeared.  It isn't answering when Galactica tries to contact it, however, and scans are indicating the presence of nuclear material onboard...

Gaius Baltar returns to the Galactica to assist with preparations for the final jump.  He is assigned to Communications, where he contacts the ships in the Civilan Fleet to take an inventory of their current cargo.  His survey turns up an error in the ship's records.  The fleet has significantly less water remaining than expected.

[Lady Door]

So how do you feel about the cards in your hand, Nitori? <_<

Losing the food seems pretty bad, but so does losing a collective 5 cards. Especially since if I discard, I have to do so randomly.

[Nitori]

My hand isn't that strong at the moment, wouldn't hurt that much

Also I'll take Leadership for my draw

[Lady Door]

I think I'll take my chances with the discard, then. Cards are a renewable resource, food not so much (?!).

##Choose Crisis 2: President & Current Player discard

[Nitori]

discard tactics 1, engineering 1, leadership 1

[Yakumo]

Turn 32 - Current Board

Baltar brings the shortage of water to Apollo's attention.  The two work long into the night on a solution, only to be contacted by one of the civilian ships.  The other ship had made a paperwork error, and it turns out the fleet's supplies were actually exactly as expected.

Lady Door discards at random, Leadership-4 Declare Emergency and Piloting-3 Maximum Firepower.
