Blech, don't do ##actions if they're not yours to do - running 2 games at once means I'm relying a bit more on the players. I'll give Starbuck the option to redirect to Pegasus instead, if desired.

It wasn't intentional. At the time, I was making the crisis choice and forgot I wasn't also the current player. Didn't realize until after I noticed that it was Doc's turn now.

Isn't throwing damage on Pegasus just the thing Team Human does? Why risk taking the fuel hit (assuming we're retconning this, but also in general)?

The nuke curves around Galactica and hits Pegasus instead! AIRLOCK DAMAGED!

By preload (thank you!), Doc gives Cain a checkup! She must discard 2 Skill Cards - she only has 2 to discard, so they are:
TAC-0 (Trust Instincts)
TAC-2 (Launch Scout)
She is handed 1 LEA 1 TAC!

Doc then plays a LEA-2 (XO) on Boomer! That's enough bed rest for you!

Hm, I dunno what's actually really worth doing here. I can't scout which is my default choice, command or comms doesn't really do much for us because civs are covered, and I would feel like too much of a cylon just suggesting hitting research lab.
I could uh.. weapons control? President's office and draw 2 politics in exchange for dumping a crappy piloting card?

Normally I would jump at -1. Problem is we have a cylon admiral, but we may not be able to do anything about that before we jump anyway. Also the basestar only needs one more hit to be destroyed.

Wtf??? You don't jump here! Jumping now jumps us into an automatic CAC. We're in zero danger from the raiders/heavy right now and we want to get a natural CAC if possible this turn, pop up to 10 DEFCON and then only drop to 4-5 on the jump, instead of jumping into 1.

Tryharding by accusing Boomer and I of being cylons for no reason, damaging Galactica instead of Pegasus, telling him to shoot the heavy raider even though at this point it would have been easier to hit the basestar and destroy it.

huh. Didn't someone scout destination and leave one on top? We're about to jump so if we do have a Cylon admiral that should tell us quickly enough.

You want the Basestar alive! Then, when we get a CAC (which is VERY likely this turn and something we REALLY WANT before the jump to maximize post-jump DEFCON), we can pick a 2 Basestar CAC and 1 won't get placed! This is DEFCON 101. Damaged Basestars are a Human's Best Friend. Naturally we'd rather have literally any other damage token, but we'll deal with the one we have.

Boomer gets creative, working up a firing solution from Communications!
By preload, Cain plays TAC-3 (Strategic Planning)! 1d8+2=5+2=7! HIT!
Heavy Raider destroyed! DEFCON rises to 4.

DEFCON Check: 1d8=2!
DEFCON drops to 3 2.
