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

BSG

That was quick! The check is tanked. Destiny reveals:

Launch Scout 2
Repair 2

Tally: 2 - 2 = 0. Fail. Thanks to Apollo's groundwork, the fleet is ok with the idea of his holding an entourage of personal minions, but their entire supply of Twinkies still disappears down his insatiable gullet.

Next, the raiders fire on the RSVs in Sector 5:

Raider 1: 7. Viper damaged! By CO, Apollo plays an Evasive Maneouvres 2:
Raider 1a: 6. Viper still damaged! That's all the EM COs I have in hand right now; we'll pause to see if anyone plays another one.

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

BSG

I play an EM! I forget which one. The smallest one in my hand, please.

EM-1, that would be. Ok:

Raider 1b: 3. Miss.
Raider 2: 6. Viper damaged!
No more EM COs, I'm afraid; the result stands.
Raider 3: 2. Miss.
Raider 4: 4. Miss.

1 RSV remains in Sector 5. That concludes Apollo's turn. Kat's cards are going out. Kat, when you're ready, please post your move (such as it is) and action.

(I'm off to bed now. If Kat initiates a Brig skill check, I think you all know the drill. You can do interrupts and send me card play COs if you wish. If she does anything else, carry on as far as you can.)

Nice defense, pilots!

BSG

I can only play one card into my own brig check, correct?

That is correct. The Cylons have revealed, so they too are limited to one card per check. Apollo and Tigh have no limits.

BSG

'Fraid so. The cylons are also limited to one card into the check, though. Destiny has about a 1 in 3 chance of being positive by my count.

I do have purple and yellow cards right now, but not high ones, if that plays into your decision.

I would love to get out of here and use some of these fancy piloting cards but I hate to waste any cards at all if passing is not more likely than not. I do have one good card I can play. What do you think Apollo & Tigh?

I have the option of staying here and taking two actions. I could (for example) scout the crisis & or destination decks. If I'm not out we don't draw a crisis (yay!) but the jump track does not advance (boo!).
