I have COs from Anders:
Action 1: Use Star Player ability.
Anders discards:
Trust Instincts 0
Launch Scout 1
He then draws 2 Purple to replace them. Cards being sent.
Action 2: Activate the Brig check. Play Guts and Initiative 1 as an interrupt.
Anders is attempting to escape the Brig. This is a 7 YP check. Other possible interrupts: IC, SR. It is also possible for another player to play a different Reckless interrupt instead of Anders' G&I. If this occurs, Zarek (as current player) chooses which Reckless interrupt gets played. Everyone, please pass or play on interrupts.
In addition, President Zarek, you may use your Friends in Low Places to raise or lower the check difficulty by 2. Would you like to use it (and in which direction)?
BSG
Oh, very clever, Anders!
I
pass on interrupts.
So I wasn't expecting that interrupt, which makes this brig check very easy if Zarek lowers the threshold to 5. Anders and Zarek, I think I will just make this very uncomplicated and advise you to keep your cards.
BSG
Ha! Very nice.
BT, I will
use Friends in Low Places
to
lower
the check difficulty.
Also, I'm overriding the COs I sent you: per Apollo's advice I will
play no cards.
And
pass on interrupts.
BSG
basically we're just paying off the MPs to leave his cell open.
BSG
Given the generous action of the President, and the inspiring words/actions-to-be of Apollo, I have updated my card play for the pokey-spring. BillyTea has my CO's.
(I'd post it in thread, but I don't think it's my turn to play them, and don't want to upset the order)
BSG
A reminder, we're still waiting for everyone to pass or play on interrupts.
BSG
Free the Galactica One!
Unfortunately, chanting is the only way I can help.
Pass on interrupts.
BSG
Unfortunately, chanting is the only way I can help.
Everybody chant! Don't play any cards; just chant!
BSG
hominus dominus, e pluribus unum. Carpe diem. Habeas Corpus.
I think that's about the best chanting I can do in type.
