Our wings are not tired

BSG

I can't help on this check. I only have one thing that would count towards it and I can't play just one card.

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

BSG

Administrative note: both P-C and -t have advised that they'll be out of contact for part of the coming week. That means we'll probably have some delays until next weekend. I'll keep things moving as feasible, but I trust no one will mind if things get held up here and there.

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

BSG

Gah, our Morale is starting to take hit after frakking hit. This is not good.

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

BSG

Holy frakking felgercarb!

Smells like cabbages in here.

My cabbages!

I can help a little with the skill check and maybe keep the bad stuff from triggering if we get close enough without going over.

Cally is definitely a cylon, guys. Let's focus on our anger and getting her the frak off our ship. Besides, Starbuck was kind of a bitch, amirite?

Yeah, a partial pass is all we really need. Save the Morale; disable Cally.

Cally is definitely a cylon, guys.

I feel like a new man, but I have this weird, niggling sense that I HAVE BEEN SAYING THAT FOR A WHILE NOW.

D is playing Final Fantasy XIII. Holy cow the pretty! But I'm worried about how his avatar's sword keeps bumping the backs of her thighs when she runs. She's going to get sores.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG

No interrupts.

I can help a little.

Administratively, I will also be intermittent this week.

BSG

I think we should go for it. I just have to find my character sheet so I can email my COs.

...maybe reversing my previous statement re: interrupts...

OK, for some reason I woke up thinking I had GI but I do not. Does SR help anyone?

Final edit: COs insent.

My waffle, she has many sides. After changing my mind several times I have indeed decided to play a Scientific Research interrupt. At least this increases the chances destiny will help and gives our cylon fewer choices for spiking. Sorry I don't recall the value of this card offhand. Will post when I am less horizontal.

BSG

Kat plays an SR-4. I have COs from everyone for the check:

Destiny: 2 cards
Tigh: 0 cards
Tory: 1 card
Starbuck: 0 cards
Kat: 3 cards
Cally: 0 cards

Cards played:

Consolidate Power 1
Preventative Policy 4
Iron Will 0
Repair 1
Repair 1
Maximum Firepower 4

Kat's SR changes the result by a net amount of 4. And the result is:

Tally: 7 - 4 = 3. Fail! But we're not quite done here yet. Cally's Quick Fix ability means that she can discard 1 card of her choice from the skill check. Cally, would you like to discard a card?
