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

BSG

OK, then. Activate the frakking brig. Also, At Any Cost-4, what the heck, no sense in hanging onto it.

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

BSG

We have an escape attempt. Other possible interrupts are IC and SR. The Cylons can't play them, and Kat hasn't drawn the right colours. Apollo, please pass or play.

Everyone can send me COs for the check itself too. Tory will play first, Tigh last.

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

BSG

Pass on interrupts.

I play one card.

I now have orders from everyone. Here's how it went down:

Destiny: 2 cards
Tory: 1 card
Apollo: 2 cards
Kat: 2 cards
Cally: 1 card
Tigh: 1 card

Cards played:

Consolidate Power 2
Launch Scout 1
Launch Scout 2
Strategic Planning 3
Scout for Fuel 6
God's Plan 2
Maximum Firepower 3
Best of the Best 6
Repair 2

Tally: 16 - 11 = 5. Fail. Tigh's At Any Cost turns the single Treachery card positive; alas, the check still falls short by 2. No one has a DE to play; Tigh remains brigged.

That concludes Tigh's turn. I have COs from Tory. She draws Treachery and Yellow, and then, well, I should quote this:

"And oh, you know, now that I think about it, I would like to activate the awesome lone Centurion to end humanity. Muwhahaha! I put the laugh in bold too, because that's an order."

The Centurion reaches the end of the Boarding Party track, and is instantly declared king of Galactica! I'm sorry, it's military protocol, these things are very strict.

Cylons Win!

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

BSG

That was a good game. I tried to activate an unmanned viper to crash into the armoury just now but BT said it was no-go.

Hee. That was a good game. Having two cylons from the outset is brutal!

It's true, Kat could've played a Protect the Fleet-0 along wih some extra Piloting; it would've guaranteed the check failed, but given Tigh one RSV activation. Even better, if he launched one, Apollo could've commandeered it and got a bonus action. Alas, it would've taken two actions to get him back to the Armoury and shooting at the Centurion. A real shame, because that save would be AWSESOME!
