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

Guys, Chief Tyrol just wants you all to know that, although you now find yourselves on opposing sides, he enjoyed the camaraderie you all shared on Galactica. In fact, he'd like to take a souvenir with him, if that's ok. The Chief's super crisis is:

Human Prisoner
 Skill Check (18 GP)

Usual interrupts: IC, SR, Reckless. Everyone who's not a Cylon, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Anders plays first, the Chief last.

Cripes. Do have any way of passing this? I don't have much to play( Pass on Interrupts) but I can reduce it to 16GP.

Octagonal Corn Flakes: Anders, if you can XO me on your turn, I've got a couple Quorum cards that'll be helpful to have out for future Crises.

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

I could play an SR, but none of team human draws blue. Any humans think I should? Or for destiny sake?

Ms President, if my cards survive, I'd be happy to.

Well, an SR will keep the Toastful Ones from spiking the check with it. Since both of them drew Blue as humans it's possible either or both could have a nasty surprise. Plus Destiny, too.

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

BSG

I can't help at all on this check, and I don't see how we have any chance at passing. Anders, you are the most likely candidate to be Chief's victim, as you have the most cards and are next to draw. In fact, Chief would be an idiot not to target you. Can you help at all? Can anyone help? This is a really evil SCC.

I can help a fair amount. But no where close to taking it solo.

I play my SR Blue-4 to reduce spikeage.

Anders plays an SR-4; Blue now counts positive for this check. I have COs from everyone else to pass on interrupts. The check begins:

Destiny: 2 cards
Anders:
Gaeta:
Zarek:
Helo:
Apollo:
Chief: COs received

Administrative note: Destiny's play into this check reduced it to 6 cards, prompting a refill of the Destiny deck.

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

BSG

I can help. I'm not sure if we can make it but I think we should try.
