Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

Our wings are not tired

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

BSG

I'm back home, and back in the driver's seat. Wallybee scoffed when I said we should get a racecar bed! Who's laughing now? (Her parents, mostly. Ah well, Ryan seems to like it.)

I have COs from Zarek, which means we have a result! First, however, now I'm back and can check my records more carefully, I must report that Gaeta played only 1 card. The play:

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

The cards:

Preventative Policy 4
Executive Order 2
Executive Order 2
Declare Emergency 5
Special Destiny 2
Launch Scout 1

Thanks to the AAC-3 interrupt, the SD-2 counts positive instead of negative. You therefore reach:

Tally: 15 - 1 = 14. Pass!

No Treachery gets added to Destiny. On the other hand, since you were so good as to make this check Reckless, the SD-2 means that Treachery gets added to everyone's hand. You each get 1 Treachery card, going out now (starting with Helo).

That concludes Zarek's turn. Helo, I'm sending you your cards and a treasure map with sign saying "HERE THERE BE BATTLESTARS". That's right folks, the Admiral got tired of phoning it in and decided to ge where the action is. Helo starts on the Hangar Deck. When you're ready, please post your move and action.

Administrative note: this skill check reduced the Destiny deck to 6 cards. I have replenished it; Destiny now contains 18 cards.

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

BSG

Wow, go team overplaying. Looks like we would have gotten the partial pass without the AAC, but, er, maybe this outcome is worse? Let's hope we can tank a check later and get rid of this Treachery.

Helo, hope you can get Chief out of Sickbay. If you cannot, mine will be a fun turn, I think.

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

BSG

I just got back from out of town and this place is a shambles. Did you kids have a party? I'm going to move to Command in case these wet-behind-the-ears pilots need a little coaching. Meanwhile Chief, get over to Pegasus and start cleaning this mess up. I play an XO-1 on Chief.

Hurrah! I say repair CIC first, obvs.

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

BSG

Sir, yes, sir! I discard Human Weakness-3 to move back to the CIC where I will surely not get blown up again and Repair-1 the damage there.

I don't know if I can do anything with my remaining action.

got any LS?

edit: no, you don't draw purple. Consolidate power?

That'd be nice, wouldn't it? But no.
