I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

BSG

There is no Starbuck, there is only Chief. And Chief has no cards, yet.

Don't sweat the brigging, Kat. I can handle a little time if need be.

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

My OPG allows me to eliminate one color from the check. I was going to save it for brigging/killing one of the Cylons if we had the chance, but I could also attempt to use it to save you from being brigged, Tigh. But if you're not too worried (at the very least, you can still work the Quorum from the Brig, albeit less efficiently), I will save it.

Oh, and whew. If Tigh is brigged, the Admiralty passes to Kat, not one of the Cylons. So I'm thinking I should save my OPG to use later?

Yeah, this is not that critical a check. It would be nice not to be embriggened, but it won't be a disaster of the highest order if it happens.

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

BSG

OK. I vote to TANK

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

BSG

Let's do this. I have passes on further interrupts from everyone. The Chief has no cards, and Kat passes on playing cards; Cally is up next. I have COs from Tigh and Tory.

Our wings are not tired

BSG

I pass on playing cards.

I'm in a lecture right now, but Tigh passes too, leaving Tory as the only one playing cards into this check (aside from Destiny, of course). I'll wrap up the results once I can get to a computer. (I could just announce the outcome, but where's the fun in that?)

Ok, here we go:

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

Yellow, Green, Purple and Blue are positive; only Red and Treachery are negative. Cards played:

At Any Cost 5
Evasive Maneouvre 1
By Your Command 1

Tally: 5 - 2 = 3. Fail! Tigh roams free!

Looks like Destiny really hosed the pro-Brig faction there. Bad Destiny, using up all the water like that. Tory's crisis is:

Water Shortage
President's Choice

Pradmiral Tigh, when you're ready, please post your choice.

We'll be taking Option 2. I discard LS-1 and AAC-4.

Miss, basestar, miss!

Starbuck: 0 cards

There is no Starbuck! There is only Zool Chief!

Looks like Destiny really hosed the pro-Brig faction there.

Huh, yeah, what the hell was that? Tory, you are terrible at brigging people. Absolutely terrible. This time, I thank you for your ineptitude.

We'll be taking Option 2.

Good choice. Suck it, Tory!

Miss, basestar, miss!

Oh, yeah. This could be bad.
