Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

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.

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

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.

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.

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?

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 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.

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.

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.

Oh, could she? I do not have a handle on what pilots can do.

Yeah, that would be cool.

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

BSG

I can only help a little on this check but maybe this will be the card that does it.

I play 1 card

I have some COs to add to that:

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

Chief to play and wrap up the check.
