Pass on Interrupts. My card is no help here.

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

BSG

Everyone has passed on interrupts. The check begins. I'll clean this up later, but play so far:

Chief: 1 card
Anders: 1 card

Gaeta is up next.

Yo, compadre, should we, like, strategize once this crisis shakes out?

We might need to.

COs from the remaining characters:

Helo plays 3 cards.
Apollo plays... let's see... 9 cards.

Oh, wow. Look at those cards. This is going to be quite the check. Unfortunately, I don't know what Destiny is going to be, so I can't give anything away yet. If anyone wants to send me DE COs, feel free to do so. I'll post results once I have Destiny.

Ok, here we go. A reminder, here's everyone's play:

Destiny: 2 cards
Chief: 1 card
Anders: 1 card
Gaeta: 0 cards
Tory: 0 cards
Helo: 3 cards
Apollo: 9 cards

Let's see those cards now:

Launch Scout 1
Launch Scout 2
Strategic Planning 5
Protect the Fleet 0
Evasive Maneouvre 1
Evasive Maneouvre 1
Evasive Maneouvre 1
Evasive Maneouvre 1
Evasive Maneouvre 2
Full Throttle 2
Evasive Maneouvre 2
Evasive Maneouvre 2
Maximum Firepower 3
Maximum Firepower 5
Red Tape 0
Consolidate Power 1

Tally: 28 - 1 = 27. An easy pa-- But! The attempt to lead the fleet through the Passage falls afoul of bureaucratic Red Tape! All cards of value 5 or 6 are cancelled.

Final tally: 28 - 1 - 10 = 17. ...Pass by 3 points!

In addition, the check included a Protect the Fleet 0. Since the total Red in the check was of value 3 or more, it activates. The current player may activate one RSV. Apollo has left COs:

Launch 1 RSV into Sector 5
Use AVP to commandeer the RSV
Use the bonus action to play a CP-2 and draw 2 Yellow

Cards going out. That concludes Apollo's turn. Chief Tyrol is up next. Chief, you may draw 3 cards, all of different colours. When you're ready, please post your choice of colours.
