I had COs from Gaeta, but they no longer apply.

Hah! No working blue on this ship, Mister!

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

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.

Administrative note: Anders' card draw exhausted the Tactics deck. I've reshuffled the discards.

Poseidon's middle fin, what a frakup. At least we passed.

billytea, Gaeta no longer can reroll JUMPS now that he's revealed, right?

Anders, if you don't get an XO, I recommend you push the button. We've got too many civvies in the air, if G-bot throws a Cylon Attack at us our population could sinkhole.

That is correct. Revealed Cylons lose all character abilities and weaknesses.

holy frak. Glad I did that! Wow. I thought for sure some toaster was gonna strip me of all my cards and take me hostage. This is destiny, humans! This was our Waterloo. Our Midway. Now, we just gotta make a pretty 2 distance jump.

I MOVE nowhere, staying put here in weapons, just in case.

My ACTION Is to play XO-2 on President Foster.

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

Holy crap, I'm glad I played my card. I forgot about Iron Will. Suck it, Cylons!
