You think Billy is just going to let you all skip Dee?!?!?!?! @Perky_Goth
No, no, it’s my turn, so it ain’t me yet.
Oh yeah, you hooked me up with that XO
XOXO
Thank you for checking. I’ll certainly make a mistake some time

As discord breaks on the tablet again.
Word came from the Picon habitat maintenance scow, All Weather, that they would not support this new leadership. They would not accept the changes necessary due to the failure to prepare and avoid the Cylon assault. Before the fleet could fully unite, they threatened to break the peace. To leave, and go into the abyss alone.
It was undeniably a tempting offer. Better now before their sparse resources were spent to assist those who would rather dive into the void than work together. Let those stubborn Piconese fend for themselves!
But this was not the way. Admiral Tigh, hard man he was, was a pragmatist. He knew the dangers ahead would be vast, and unknown. That who knew what need they would have, and that together they stood stronger. Each man woman and child was a precious resource. And though President Billy didn’t have the authoritative ring that previous executives had, a tough name was not indicative of performance. He hoped to be able to step up to the job. He had no choice, really, he was chosen from those eligible. Now to take up the trust of the fleet, humanities last hope.
Down the line the leaders of this ragtag fleet began to unite, with words of resolve and calm, to try and heal historic rifts that had never truly healed. Some day these may need to be addressed, but today was about survival. The fact Tauron had invaded Picon some 50 years ago meant frak all today. Toasters didn’t care.
Cold numbers and heated rhetoric clashed, and broke while the crews tried to guard against the Cylon assault. But timing was on their side. As malcontents surged into the navigation room on All Weather, threatening to take their words into action, a glimpse of their future unfolded in plain sight. Cylon raiders, slipping beyond a CAP screen, launched a volley of missiles their way. Their fear and folly ready to collide. How easy it would be to let this be a self sorting problem, as their actions had pushed them outside of the engagement envelope and exposed them in the first place.
But the CAG was not ready to give up yet, when the launch was detected Dee had called on comms the coordinates. Apollo, ever ready, angled for intercept. Though they had rejected unity, he had not given up hope yet. So with a deft maneuver was able to neutralize the threat, in plain site of the ship.
For now this would be enough. Old resentments may brew, but choice and consequence with deadly results had been demonstrated. Now was the time to shut up. And so they did.

@rowe33 card choice?
One of each please.
And a hearty welcome back to the plot stories!
I was feeling… inspired ;)
Don’t think I’ve ever had a chance to ever play this card so I’ll play it. Figure the possible savings are worth it, given no Morale reduction crisis has shown up yet.
Movement - Play Pol 3 Prp to save Morale loss this turn
Action 1 - CAG viper in 1 to escort civvy back home
Action 2 - Play Pil 3 MF to attack in 7-8, first at raider, heavy raider, then basestar
Hahahaha, I thought that preventative policy was silly but holy hell that worked out.
I would vote we dump 5 cards.
It’s always funny to watch rowe pick the wrong thing tho. Shhh.
We never lose by pop, though.
Yeah, if Lantz and Knight are fine, go with B.
Neither option is ‘wrong’ but tanking checks never goes in our favor.
Yep, we’ll go with the OR for sure here. PrP for the win!
