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

We are going to pass this damn check. Destiny's a total wildcard now, so I play IC-3.

I may or may not play into the check, depending on how others feel about their ability to pass the check. Some cards are more fun to play than play into a check.

Wait, does anyone have an AAC? That would be hilarious. Then we could play our Treachery for positive value. Wait, that would also trigger a shitload of Reckless effects. Scratch that plan.

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

I can help a lot with this check. I'm almost certain we can pass.

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

I can help a lot with this check. I think it'd be nice to boost morale. It's not needed now, but it will be! I just know it.

Aha, actually following the rules makes it all simple! Excellent.

Boosting Morale would be pretty sweet. Hooray Jump Prep!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Have you guys bought stuff through Steam? Was it successful? There's a bunch of stuff on sale right now [link] but it seems a little wonky to me. I intend to buy the giant sims pack, which will duplicate some stuff I have, but I think it'll be necessary to have their version to play? And I saw in the forae an elaborate process to buy the software from Steam, but then register it through Origin (EA's direct store) so that I can buy future expansion packs (Pets!) if Steam doesn't end up supporting it. I dunno. I'm torn. Seems like a large amount of hassle, but a) I have the bandwidth right now and b) it's a pretty legit deal if it works.

I have bought stuff through Steam, big bundle o' games, but then something shiny distracted me and I kind of forgot I had those games to play so it's hard to say if it was worthwhile. I did get everything I was supposed to get, though. I think.

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

BSG

That's long enough for interrupts. We have an IC on the check, courtesy of Apollo, which means you get to see Destiny:

Investigative Committee 3
Launch Scout 2

Running tally: 5 - 0 = 5. Fail.

Destiny sees Helo going all Fight Club on Galactica, and approves. Apollo is up next. I'm taking COs from anyone else that has them.

Well, hot damn, Destiny. I play 0 cards, then. Looks like you guys can take it the rest of the way, no problem.

Apollo: 0 cards
Chief: 0 cards
Anders: Scout for Fuel 6
Gaeta:

Running tally: 11 - 0 = 11. Fail by an itty bit. Gaeta is up next.
