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

BSG

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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

BSG

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...

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

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

HOLY CRAP I DID NOT COUNT ON RED TAPE. I am glad I did not hold back, wow. I could have held back a little, but holy crap. That was close.

Use the bonus action to play a CP-2 and draw 2 Yellow

And I drew exactly the cards I wanted. AWESOME.

Well, it doesn't look good for toasterkind.

You are, in fact, toast.

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

BSG

Whoo that's good to hear. I panicked and threw in my SP-5. I kept being afraid to use it for actual strategic planning because 5 is such a big number.

I told you to save it! Ah well. We'll see what Chief can pull off before we rub our victory in his shiny metal face.

Also, secrecy rules do not permit me to disclose what my 9 cards were, but I think you can make a fairly good guess as to a large chunk of them. Like I said...I was equipped for defense.

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

BSG

All cards of value 5 or 6 are cancelled.

Nice to know my one card was useless. Thankfully Apollo went Berzerk.

If we fight this thing together there's a chance that we might win...

Now here comes Evil Otto, push the fire buttons in...
