So say we all!

 The  pilots  who were outside  with me,  were protecting the ship  until we   could land..as  far as i remember.,

You're about to have plenty of protecting that needs doing.

What are we Marines up too? Just wanting to make sure what are sit-rep is before I do any posting anywhere.

I know i'm in Medbay keeping my gun on the entrance, Khloe's still there from when we boarded that (i think) cruise liner to save her from her kidnappers, and the prisoner we took in that same outing that ripped through metal manacles is lying on the floor and she's assuming he's playing possum and that the boarding party nearing Medbay is there to extract him. There's two NPC Marines there too, they're focusing on the prisoner (and hopefully as per Nerada's orders treating him as an active hostile and don't start poking him).

Some are with the Barber fighting Cylon boarders and others are in Medbay. Still others are on their way to fight Cylons and some are all over the ship. The walls, ceilings, bulkheads...

It is certainly a bad day to be a human!

I'm around and happy to continue! Bear with me as I get my feet underneath me (i.e. reading back a little to get my bearings).

Glad that Andromeda is active again!

Me, too. :)

Yep!  Looking forward to kicking some tin cans around!

I am around but not sure where Angus is exactly in the Andromeda.

Angus is in the CIC.

As a reminder, Angus was recently promoted to acting XO by Selene. The rest of the crew is not currently aware that MacReady is dead, so Angus is there supposedly operating in his capacity as CAG. Selene has been subtly treating him as the XO during this attack so the bridge crew can get used to him being in that position.

Nice.  Can’t wait to join the fun.

What is the status of our weapons? Particularly interested in our main batteries, but Point Defense is important as well...

Hey, we shot down a missile with our Vipers before!  But if there's a ton of 'em, that might not matter much.

You might be otherwise occupied…

You can shoot down the missiles or you can shoot down the things shooting the missiles.

Both are valid forms of defense ;)

In reply to Col. Selene Pierce (msg # 59):

The Andromeda had a full load for main batteries and the Enemy Suppression Grid but after this encounter you may want to think about getting the in situ manufacturing back up and running.

In case there are more fights ahead...

Full load is great...but are they still operational according to Selene's readouts? I'm hoping the board is green, because I'd like to chip the paint on that shiny basestar if our guns and thrusters are all fully operational. Given incursion by boarders, I'm not 100% certain right now.

As far as you can tell all systems are green.

Booyah. Let's kick some ass, people. Will post a little later.

Just finished episode one, it’s amazing how much impact the adding of the one child to the headcount is at the very last moment.

Would that be the one on board one of the non-jump capable ships?

Just waiting on info about our targets here.

No.  The first episode of the series, not the prequel mini series.  Day after day the new president was receiving a fleet head count that was declining.  More so after they had to blow up the transport that was setting off the nuclear warnings.  At the very end of the episode She was told of another adjustment to the head count.  While resigned to another loss in the already dwindled population she learned that a baby Have been porn on the one of those chips, for the first time increasing the account.
