WE WIN. You even gave us a jump icon, how nice of you!
So I was going to throw in interrupts and whatever, but I also realized that, ha, not only would we only be sacrificing 1 Pop but we also had no need to worry since Anders could have always used his Longshot ability to keep from losing Pop.
Let's just tank the stupid check and let Anders jump us to win the game. I can't believe Team Human is actually going to win!
BSG
TANK!
Humans win! Break out the bubbly!
BSG
TANK
BSG
TANK.

Yeah, sorry to say, nothing up my sleeves, I appear to be wearing a tube top.

It is true, and I have COs from Anders to do exactly that. He also votes to TANK this check, which makes it unanimous. Destiny reveals:
Consolidate Power 1
Scout for Fuel 6
Tally: 1 - 6 = -5. Fail! Morale falls to 5, but it doesn't matter, as Anders makes his way to FTL Control and jumps the fleet to Kobol! His Longshot guarantees no Population loss this time. All dials are in the red, but they are still above 0.
HUMANS WIN!
BSG
Hurrah! I've never seen this happen before! It is very fulfilling. Although we seem to have had a relatively easy go of it.
BSG
We really did. Except for like, one round of panic after both Cylons revealed, we pretty much ran straight through.
OK, I gotta ask: Gaeta, were you a Cylon from the beginning? 'Cause I was really wondering about the Blue that spiked that very first Skill Check.
Nope. I was human at the start.
BSG
OK, I gotta ask: Gaeta, were you a Cylon from the beginning? 'Cause I was really wondering about the Blue that spiked that very first Skill Check.
I assumed that was Destiny, but if Chief spiked that check so he would lose his cards, that would be kind of hilarious.
I also noted that I was suspicious of his very first move, firing on the basestar with Weapons Control instead of CIC. As I look back, I see that we did have our fair share of troubles, especially not having enough cards and basically tanking every check, so it wasn't all fun and games for Team Human.
