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

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?

Cally demonstrates a new-found contempt for politics. New resolution:

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

Tally: 3 - 4 = -1. Epic Fail! The fleet loses 1 morale, and Cally discards 2 cards. By CO, those cards are:

Preventative Policy 3
Guts and Initiative 2

However! Because the check included an Iron Will, and the final tally was 0 or less, the fleet loses an additional point of Morale, for a total of -2. Morale drops to 5.

Finally, the jump track advances by 1. Tigh has left COs for his turn, which I will implement shortly.

Pradmiral Tigh has left COs:

Move to the President's Office
Activate Office to draw 1 Quorum Card

Card going out. Pradmiral Tigh, you have two further decisions to make:

1. You need to discard a card to move to Colonial One.
2. You may complete your action by either drawing another Quorum card, or playing one from your hand.

When you're ready, please post your orders.

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

BSG

Well, in case anyone WASN'T SURE Cally was a Cylon...

Motherfrakking hell. We have to brig or kill her before her turn, guys. She's not pretending anymore; she's going to reveal.

Hope you draw the right card, Tigh. And I really, really hope I draw the right cards on my turn.

And I draw another Quorum card, dagnabbit.

Frak.

New Quorum card sent to the Pradmiral. Hey, wasn't that last jump cycle quiet? Bit dull, if you ask me. You know what you need? You need a party! Tigh's crisis is:

Raiding Party
Cylon Attack

Yeah, because humans LOVE losing Morale! I think your programming is wonky.

Cylon Attack

FRAK FRAK FRAK WE DON'T NEED THIS RIGHT NOW.
