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.
Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

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

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
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.

Cripes. Too bad no one threw in Red Tape.
Well, my friends, we have our first Cylon spike. Three negative cards. Two could come from Destiny, but I am not discounting the possibility that two Cylons spiked this check, as it was the first good opportunity in a long time. Spikes were Yellow and Blue. This means Anders and Helo are clear (and I trust Helo because of the DE anyway). Funnily enough, it seems that given the number of cards he played, I could make a baseful accusation against our dear President, but it could just as well be Chief and/or Gaeta. Wait, what am I saying, Zarek stood to lose all his cards on this check. It's Chief and/or Gaeta.
I'm still mulling over what to do on my turn. I didn't draw the right cards, but I have a full hand. If I draw a card and get a Crisis that doesn't let me play a card into a check, I'll have to discard randomly, and I could lose a good card.

Not that I suspect anyone at this point, but knowing what a tricksy cylon P-C has been in the past, I feel I should point out that Apollo can draw yellow. But I can't recall if he has so far.
(I mean, of course I suspect someone just no one in particular at this point.)

I have, but you may have noticed I've been playing a lot of ICs. I don't know whether saying whether or not I had Yellow in my hand would violate secrecy rules, but note that I chose to draw 2 Yellow.
(I'm actually excited to finally be playing a game where I'm HUMAN THE WHOLE TIME.)
