See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Well, if we fail the check, you can use your OPG to save yourself. But I'd rather save that for later (I have an idea whereby you can XO me to play a Quorum card to raise a stat, since those things take a 6 or higher to work).

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Sorry for the delays here, busy weekend. I'll fix this post up a bit when I get home, but the important info:

Anders plays a GI-1 on this check. Destiny will not be added. Everyone passes on other interrupts, so we can start the check.

Cain plays first. I have COs from her to play one card. Baltar is up next.

I have COs from Boomer, who plays no cards. Cally is up next.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

BSG

I thought I played two cards.

Sorry, that's right. Cain played two cards. Baltar, if that changes your play, let me know.

I think we're going to end up overshooting by more than we expect, but I'll keep my play, just in case I'm misestimating.

Our wings are not tired

BSG

Fact is a bunch of us are screwed if we play two cards. I will play my two cards into this check but it makes me pretty useless for future checks.

As long as you're pretty. I have COs from Anders to play one card to finish it up. That gives us:

Destiny: 0 cards
Cain: 2 cards
Baltar: 2 cards
Boomer: 0 cards
Cally: 2 cards
Anders: 1 card

Cards:

Consolidate Power 1
Consolidate Power 2
Executive Order 1
Executive Order 2
Executive Order 2
Declare Emergency 3
Declare Emergency 4

Everyone wants Anders to live! And the result:

Tally = 15 - 0 = 15. Pass! It has now been decided that technically, Boomer's kills should be counted against her viper, not Galactica. Cain's murderous rage subsides as Pegasus is once again granted a clear lead.

With no Cylon ships remaining on the board, the activation has no effect. Anders' turn concludes with the jump prep advancing. Cain's turn is up next. Admiral Cain, which colour would you like for your optional draw?
