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

BSG

I can help a lot, and I'm about to draw, so if someone can help a little with cards they don't want to save to use for their effects, we can pass this easily, now that Destiny is not an issue. A Cylon spike would be stupid with two of us not even playing into the check, so that shouldn't be an issue either.

I can help on this check, but if it looks like it won't be needed then I'll hold onto my cards for future help.

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

Zarek plays a GI-2; Destiny will not be added to this check. Everyone else passes on interrupts. I have some COs for the check; current state of play:

Destiny: 0 cards
Apollo: 1 card (high)
Chief: 0 cards
Anders: 0 cards
Gaeta:
Zarek:
Helo:

Gaeta is up next.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

re-watching BSG. Boy is this series really good. I'm up to the episode where my character shows up. I forgot just how much happens in season 1. The problem with having BSG streaming on netflix, you can sit up all night watching back to back episodes.

Soooo, is my help needed on this check?

If you can spare a single low card, I'd say put it in. I'd hate to come up to 6 and miss after all this.

Yeah, if you can spare a low card, play it to be safe. Helo wants to save his cards, but if you and Zarek play, we should be good. It would definitely suck to come up short.

I play one card into the check.

Apollo and Gaeta have each played one card. Zarek is up next. I have COs from Helo too.

BSG

I have orders from the remaining players. Full play:

Destiny: 2 cards
Apollo: 1 card
Chief: 0 cards
Anders: 0 cards
Gaeta: 1 card
Zarek: 1 card
Helo: 0 cards

Cards:

Consolidate Power 2
Preventative Policy 3
Investigative Committee 5

Tally: 10 - 0 = 10. Pass! Supplies are down, but the fleet's spirits are up. Why? Given that you passed this check solely on Politics, I'm guessing because no one bothered to tell them.

It may be harder to keep the battle under wraps, as the raiders open fire:

Raider 1: 8. Viper destroyed! But Helo comes to the rescue with an EM-2:
Raider 1a: 1. Miss.
 Raider 2: 3. Miss.

That concludes Helo's turn. Apollo has opted to draw 1 Yellow and 1 Green in his card draw. Apollo, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
