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.
BSG
I can help. I'm not sure if we can make it but I think we should try.
BSG
I actually can help a little. Like Laga, I don't think we can pass it, but I would hate to hold back if by some chance we could have.
I just bought the BSG game! It is miiiiine. Now I can play with friends! I hope to have an inaugural game tomorrow.
Do you have it, megan? If not, we should play! With people!
BSG
I've been receiving some orders:
Destiny:
2 cards
Anders:
6 cards
Gaeta:
Tory:
Helo:
COs received
Apollo:
COs received
Chief:
COs received
Gaeta is up next. (I had COs from Gaeta, but they no longer apply.)
BSG
I have everyone's play. It's going down! Let's see what everyone played.
Destiny:
2 cards
Anders:
6 cards
Gaeta:
1 card
Tory:
2 cards
Helo:
3 cards
Apollo:
1 card
Chief:
1 card
And that equals, lessee, carry the 2... Ok, I think this'll need another post. Stay tuned!
BSG
I had COs from Gaeta, but they no longer apply.
Hah! No working blue on this ship, Mister!
BSG
Hah! No working blue on this ship, Mister!
Quite right, this is a family show, this is. Ok, I have tallied the results, and... Oh, wow. This was quite the check. Doesn't get much tighter than this. Cards played:
Iron Will 0
Executive Order 1
Executive Order 1
Executive Order 1
Executive Order 1
Executive Order 2
Major Victory 2
Declare Emergency 3
Launch Scout 1
Launch Scout 2
Guts and Initiative 2
Launch Scout 2
Critical Situation 5
Repair 1
Investigative Committee 5
Preventative Policy 5
Tally: 24 - 10 = 14. Check Fails! However! The result is within 4 of the pass level - exactly 4 away from the pass level, in fact - which means the Iron Will triggers. Result: No effect!
The crew escapes the nefarious clutches of Chief Tyrol - but at what cost? (At the cost of 12 cards. I've been counting. Wait, 13. There was that SR - which incidentally was worth 2 points and made the difference between prisonertude and no prisonertude.) That concludes Chief Tyrol's turn. Anders has opted to draw Red for his optional draw. Anders, when you're ready, plesae post your move and action.
