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.

Oh, could she? I do not have a handle on what pilots can do.
Yeah, that would be cool.

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

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.

GAH. And Destiny actually played a positive card, too! Frak, so close.
Kat, hope you draw awesomely!
I'm hijacking the gaming thread.
White Wolf Games opened pre-orders for the 20th anniversary edition of Vampire: the Masquerade. The info from the order page:
* All thirteen original clans, clan variants and bloodlines, with their signature Disciplines
* Rules for character creation and advancement from Neonate to Methuselah
* All the Disciplines from level one through nine
* Updated setting to the modern nights
* New full color original art by Tim Bradstreet and other classic Masquerade artists
I won't lie, I want it, but not enough to pay $99 + s&h for it. Because I don't play V:tM any more (mostly because I haven't been able to talk someone into running a game for me, and if I
was
able to, I'd rather play Victorian-Age V:tM). It would just be an expensive bit of memorabilia.
