Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

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

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

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.

Well, it doesn't look good for toasterkind. Any ideas, Mr. Gaeta? A little Wrath of the One God might help but I don't know how to call that down...
