Too late for an IC, and, well, if Chief's a Cylon, that'll sure be fun for this check.
I also want to point out how awesome my Alert Viper Pilot ability is so that people keep it in mind. It allows me to jump into any Viper placed on the board and take an additional action if I am on
Galactica.
This essentially means that using Command to launch a Viper is almost as good as XOing me. It also means that I will make every attempt to get back on
Galactica
when the skies are clear rather than hanging around for protection.
BSG
I can only help a little with this check.
(Checks backwards) Well, shoot. For some reason I thought we were still deciding on interrupts. Do we want to just line up my contribution with the little bits Helo and Gaeta can help, and hope it's enough?
BSG
Yes, I think we should go for it. If I were a cylon I wouldn't be able to resist the opportunity to spike so maybe we can start sniffing them out right away.
BSG
At least the hypothetical cylons are also short on cards. Play what you can, Mr. Gaeta.
BSG
Good morning boys and girls. Wait, just boys. That's how we got into this situation in the first place. Aaand would you look at this, someone's left me a present, COs from everyone else! How handy. Here's what everyone plays:
Destiny:
2 cards
Anders:
0 cards
Gaeta:
1 card
Zarek:
2 cards
Helo:
1 card
Apollo:
0 cards
Chief:
0 cards
Cards played:
Consolidate Power 1
Launch Scout 1
Launch Scout 2
Strategic Planning 3
Critical Situation 4
Scientific Research 3
Tally: 11 - 3 = 8. Fail.
Oh dear, it looks like the Chief's explanation that the guys "just make for more interesting characters" doesn't go over well. He discards:
Consolidate Power 1
Executive Order 1
Declare Emergency 3
Repair 1
Repair 2
In addition, Galactica is damaged once. Chief, as current player, you can choose whether it's Galactica or Pegasus that takes the hit. Which do you choose?
BSG
Pegasus takes the hit. The
Airlock
bears the brunt of their wrath. While nobody's looking, the raiders activate and move to Sector 2. Finally, the jump track advances by 1. That concludes the Chief's turn. Anders is up next. Due to his weakness, Anders does not receive a card draw on this turn. Samuel Anders, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
