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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

Chief:

Chief to play and wrap up the check.

BSG

Let's see the outcome:

Consolidate Power 1
Executive Order 1
Declare Emergency 3
Launch Scout 1
Strategic Planning 3
Critical Situation 5
Repair 1
Calculations 5
Human Weakness 3

Tally: 14 - 9 = 5. Fail. Missed the partial pass by only 1, I'm afraid. The fleet loses 1 Morale; the Admiral has no more cards to lose.

Finally, both the raiders and the jump track advance. The civvie in Sector 5 is now unprotected and under immediate threat. That concludes Chief Tyrol's turn. Kat's cards are going out. Kat, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
