Umm, Discord? It tuns out Scar wasn't the only ponylon that picked up your signal. He was only the fastest.

CYLON ATTACK: Heavy Assault

1. Activate Raiders
2. Setup: ALPHA: Basestar BRAVO: Basestar DELTA: Civilian Ship ECHO: Civilian Ship FOXTROT: 1 Viper, Civilian Ship
3. Special Rule - Heavy Bombardment: Launch Nukes

Scar activates, moves to Charlie, then Delta. Delta civilians are in danger!

Basestars jump in! Nukes fired, brace for impact!
1d8 = 2, Miss!
1d8 = 8, Hit!

It is now Cadence's turn.

I don't want to risk hitting Fluttershy, especially when we might want to be using the Main Batteries.

##Damage Equestria

By the way, apparently I can't murder Scar with the power of politics, so don't throw an XO my way.

[ToastGhostThe smuggest damn horse.]

Armory Damaged!

"Oh good, I'd just cleaned it!"

[W.T. FitsSpoilers, you say? Well, in that case, I suppose I should avert my eyes.]

Right then. Apple Bloom, I need you, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo to do something about that raider harassing the civilians in Delta. Either get to Communications and move two of them into Echo where they'll be covered by the Viper, or head to Command, and activate it to send the Viper in Echo to Delta and have it shoot at Scar.

##play Leadership-1 (Executive Order) on the Cutie Mark Crusaders.

I'd XO Discord again since he's already in Communications, but frankly now that we no longer have a pair of Centaurians breathing down our necks, I'm not as inclined to believe he has those Civilians' best interests at heart. Assuming he has one.

No offense intended, mind you.

[Val HelmetheadDamn it, fire hose doesn't work that way!]

: None taken, my captive royal friend. Why, if you gave me anymore, I'm pretty sure our GM's poor heart wouldn't be able to stand the amount of friendship running through our little game.

[Val HelmetheadDamn it, fire hose doesn't work that way!]

Well, that and I probably would melt every civilian I could find into a molton slag with the help of my robot friends.

[ToastGhostThe smuggest damn horse.]

What makes you think I'm at all jealous?

XO is a go! Go ahead, Hylius.

[HyliusWhat? Heroes are cool too.]

I coulda sworn I posted this morning...

I'm more inclined to push the viper out there and take a pot shot, especially given the double activation and those Basestars. So...
##move to Command
##Activate Viper in Echo to move to Delta and fire at SCAR

For future reference which zones are the launch zones? I can't find a place anywhere that translates it into the Dradis for me, but I'm probably forgetting/missing something like I usually do.

Oh and: Cutie Mark Crusader Combat Commanders yay!

Viper opens fire; it's time to take down Scar!

Then there's obviously no crisis because it's Cadence's turn...

: Attention all Viper Pilots, Wonderbolt tryouts are now taking place in sector Foxtrot. Get a move on, Miss Dash!

Look, some more guests have shown up to the party, fashionably late though it is! Civilians, vipers, and basestars are all gathered in a traffic jam of chaotic partying, and there's even a 21 gun salute to celebrate! Except they didn't stop at 21, and for some reason both sides are doing it, and at eachoth-

Oh dear.

CYLON ATTACK: Thirty-Three

1. Activate Raiders
2. Setup: ALPHA: Basestar CHARLIE: Civilian Ship DELTA: Civilian Ship ECHO: Viper, Civilian Ship FOXTROT: Viper, Civilian Ship
3. Special Rule - Relentless Pursuit: Keep this card in play. If the fleet jumps before a civilian ship or basestar is destroyed, reshuffle this crisis into the deck.

Scar activates twice! Two civilian ships go up in flames!
Civ01 blows up: -1 Poplation and Morale!
Civ02 blows up: Empty!

Max Basestars placed, more civilians appear for whatever reason!

Well, the loss of the laundry ship is no biggie, seeing as how ponies don't normally wear clothes anyway. But the loss of the Fireworks And Rainbow Transport hits the fleet hard. In hindsight, it really wasn't too safe to put all of the fireworks onto one tiny ship, but no use crying over spilled rainbows now. Yes, the loss of the F.A.R.T. is a tragic thing, but rest assured that the resulting explosion is very, very pretty.

It is now Princess Fluttershy's turn.

Wylie: Movement/Action?

[HyliusWhat? Heroes are cool too.]

Question: Does losing the civvies on the crisis' activation count for it's special rule, or does it only take effect on the next turn?

[ClankersGonnaClankKeep on clanking.]

Unfortunately I'm pretty sure these things resolve in printed order, so the special rule only takes effect after the Raider activation. Shuffling back into the deck isn't too bad though, I don't think we've buried any Crises...

[WylieCIDER CIDER CIDER]

Hey, sorry about the delay. My son's in the hospital for the next few days (he's fine, don't worry), so I'm kinda distracted and will be on and off the 'net for a bit.

For now, though:

##Fire main batteries at Scar

you make them pay!

Hey, sorry about the delay. My son's in the hospital for the next few days (he's fine, don't worry), so I'm kinda distracted and will be on and off the 'net for a bit.

Oh dear! Tell him a bunch of ponies on the internet wish him well.

As for Scar, unfortunately the Main Batteries can only take down regular raiders, so it'd behoove you to take another action.

Actually, I believe as long as you roll a 7 or 8, you can take down Scar with the Main Batteries:

Huh, you learn things everyday!

Fluttershy opens fire with the Main Batteries!

Scar destroyed your civs
Now he no longer lives


Since I'm as sick of water crises as the rest of the fleet is, I have some different and equally annoying news! The dressmakers and dragons of the fleet have ran out of decorations/foodstuffs, so more jewels need to be gathered so the ponies can be happy and so Spike won't be cranky. The good news is there is a very colorful Gemstone World only a few lightyears away, but the bad news is that there's not enough ponies to work the mines. Fluttershy, you might be able to recruit the Diamond Dogs to your cause, especially on account of the whole 'good with animals' thing, but it'd require a bit of skill. Alternatively, you could just make Rarity do it, but you know she'd whine about the dirty mining outfit and lack of oxygen. Nevertheless, it's your call, Admiral.
