Skill Check (14 YGP)
JESUS CHRIST ON A CRACKER.
Um, I mean, Jesus who? Lords of Kobol on a cracker. I can only help a little on this check, and given that the Cylons have all the cards, I think we just have to tank it.
The only other option, Tigh, is if your two cards can help get to at least 6+. Actually, there's no reason not to do something with those cards, as you're going to lose them anyway.
We do get a jump icon, at least.
Kat, given your ability, I actually suggest that on your turn, if you have a card worth 4 or higher, you just jump us the frak out of here. It's not worth staying here and fighting if we don't have to, and we need to get to Distance 8 quickly if we have any hope of winning. Otherwise, we're just giving Cally and Tory more time to fuck with us.

Is that a vote to
Tank?
Don't forget to put orders in bold.

Kat can indeed use her ability to guarantee a jump, but you need to reach a total of 7, so she would need to spend a 5- or 6-value card to do so.
BSG

I know. I have to wait for Tigh to chime in before deciding whether we can attempt a partial pass.

Wait, seriously?? I thought it was 6 or above. Oh man. Well, that makes that plan less feasible. But, hey, Kat, if you get a really high card, it's still a good plan.
BSG
While I think of it too, I believe everyone's back from their incommunicado statuses of last week, so hopefully we can pick up the pace again.
BSG
Buck up, Chief. It's Log, it's Log, it's better than bad, it's good!
Yeah, I don't know if we can pass this but I can help and gods-be-damned I will. But
no interrupts
from me. As usual.
For Kat's turn: jumping is not a bad idea, but it leaves Cally free to wreak havoc on her turn, in her delightful I-can't-help-it-if-my-meds-aren't-working way. Unfortunately, I don't see a way to change that without putting some Civilians in danger. Tough one. You'll have to decide what's most important, Kat.
BSG
Yeah, I don't know if we can pass this but I can help and gods-be-damned I will.
I can help a little, then. I'd like us not to lose more Morale.
I also
pass on interrupts.

How is that different from any other turn? Unless you can think of a way for us to brig or execute Cally on Kat's turn, whatever we do, Cally will be wreaking havoc. At least if we can jump, she won't have all these Cylons at her disposal.
Kat could at least launch into Sector 5 to protect those civvies and then shoot at some Raiders. But who knows what Cally has up her sleeve?
BSG
I have passes on interrupts from everyone else, and at least one player is not down with the tanking. Time to start the check:
Destiny:
2 cards
Kat:
Cally:
Tigh:
Tory:
Chief:
Kat is up first.
BSG
By my count, Destiny is almost guaranteed to be negative, so if you can't help, Kat, I'm not sure we have a chance. If we all pitch in, maybe we can pull through, though.
BSG
Huh, I have Destiny at 50/50. But I wouldn't put a lot of faith in my card counting lately.
We could brig Cally on Kat's turn, in fact. But Civ A would be in danger while we did so.
BSG
Huh, I have Destiny at 50/50. But I wouldn't put a lot of faith in my card counting lately.
I have Destiny at 25/75, but there's one check where I had to guess, so it could be off.
We could brig Cally on Kat's turn, in fact. But Civ A would be in danger while we did so.
If you are implying that you have an arrest order, then she could launch into Sector 5 to protect the ship and then XO you with her bonus action. If you are implying that she can activate Admiral's Quarters...I don't know how we can pass a brig check after this.
