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

BSG

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

BSG

I have COs from Cally:

Destiny: 2 cards
Starbuck: 1 card
Kat: 0 cards
Cally: 2 cards
Tigh:
Tory:

Admiral Tigh is up next.

Orders from Tigh to play 1 card. I have COs from Tory, but need to check something.

Which is to say, anyone interested in Portal 2 co-op?

All orders are in. We have:

Destiny: 2 cards
Starbuck: 1 card
Kat: 0 cards
Cally: 2 cards
Tigh: 1 card
Tory: 2 cards

Cards:

Executive Order 2
Declare Emergency 5
Trust Instincts 0
Establish Network 0
Consolidate Power 1
Investigative Committee 4
Investigative Committee 4
Preventative Policy 5

Tally: 7 - 14 = -7. However, the Trust Instincts in the check triggers, adding two more cards from Destiny. New cards:

Protect the Fleet 0
Special Destiny 2

Brings the tally to -9. The check was not Reckless, so the Treachery card has no effect. There is not 3 Piloting strength in the check, so nor does Protect the Fleet.

Check fails! Cally remains free. Tigh is unhappy and accuses the tribunal of:

Unfair Bias
Skill Check (12 YGP)

(As opposed to his Cylon Hatred, which he describes as "like, totally fair bias").

The usual interrupts: IC, SR, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play.

Well, that is just a fascinating outcome.

Pass on interrupts

Administrative note: the cards added by Trust Instincts exhausted the Destiny deck. I've created a new one. This exhausted the Tactics deck. I've reshuffled the discards.

Yeah, someone other than me wanted to keep me out of the brig.

I have no idea what's going on. The only way I can help with the check is to make blue positive.

I think maybe you should hold on to your final card, Kat.
