Also, does anybody have an IC? If we can't see what's being played, we're probably going to have to shoot high, between Destiny and our new Cylons.

Pass on interrupts

I can help a little.

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 have COs to pass on interrupts from the remaining crew. That was quick! The check begins. I have one CO, from Apollo. Who's up first. Here we go:

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

The Chief is up next.

The Chief plays one card. Anders is up next. Reminder: if it's currently your turn to play, you can post how many cards you play in-thread.

BSG

I have orders from the rest of the crew. Here's the full play:

Destiny: 2 cards
Apollo: 1 card
Chief: 1 card
Anders: 2 cards
Gaeta: 1 card
Zarek: 4 cards
Helo: 2 cards

Cards played:

Iron Will 0
Iron Will 0
Executive Order 2
Executive Order 2
Executive Order 2
Launch Scout 1
Launch Scout 1
Launch Scout 1
Strategic Planning 3
Critical Situation 4
Political Prowess 6
Repair 2
Build Nuke 6

Tally: 16 - 14 = 2. Fail! However! Helo comes to the rescue with a DE-3! This reduces the DC to 5. As the check total of 2 is now within 4 of the DC, the Iron Wills played into the check take effect and prevent the fail effect from occurring. Check result: no effect!

That concludes Helo's turn. Apollo has opted to draw 2 Yellow for his optional draw. Apollo, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
