Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

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

BSG

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

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.

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

Aren't I on Galactica yet?

Not until the start of your second turn. I'm afraid you have another cycle enjoying the Caprica spas. (You can still play cards of course, and as Admiral, you'll still choose the Destination when the fleet jumps, even if you're still stranded at the time.)

See, I was gonna hop this departing freighter, but then I met this beautiful brunette...

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

BSG

Nice save, Helo!!

I move to Sector 3 and fire on Raider 1.

Next on FOX: When Apollos Attack!

Die roll: 1. Miss. Cancelled after one episode! Ah well. Maybe this will make up for it. Apollo's crisis is:

Legendary Discovery
Skill Check (14 PR)

Possible interrupts: IC, SR, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also vote whether or not to TANk. Finally, you can put in COs for your play into the check itself. Anders starts the check, Apollo finishes it.

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

BSG

It'd be nice to pass this one, and not terrible to fail it. I, of course, cannot help. Soon, soon I will be relevant again!

pass on interrupts

I can help a little but I would have to spend a lot of potentially useful cards to do so. Gee it would be nice to pass this one. Is there a chance?
