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

BSG

I can help a little and/or gather an Investigative Committee.

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

I am usually in favor of ICs, but it depends on whether Gaeta and Adama think we can pass without one. I think if we can all help a little, we may not have an issue. Destiny is always a wild card, though, and we have to be wary of Cylon spikes.

BSG (Gaeter? I barely knew 'er!)

I can help a little. And I think we could use the IC. It's the surest insurance against Cylons at this stage, and it helps with card management.

eta: No interrupts from me, though.

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

BSG

While we await Tory's decision on interrupts (everyone else has passed), I've only received COs from one player so far. Anyone else who's got 'em, let me know. Ellen plays first, Boomer last.

I vote for the IC. I can't help much and what I can put in has uses elsewhere.

BSG (unable to think of a clever nckname at this time Tory)

I play an IC-3

I demand an investigation of this resistance! Don't cry for me, rag-tag fugitive fleet!

That would be an IC-3. This check is now open, which means you all get a peek at Destiny:

Destiny: Preventative Policy 4, Launch Scout 2
Ellen:
Gaeta: (COs received)
Tory:
Adama:
Boomer:

Running tally: 6 - 0 = 6. Fail!

Ellen is up next.

BSG (Ellen of Troy)

Oh, wow, thanks, Destiny! In that case, I will simply play CP-2 and MV-2.

BSG

Interpreting Gaeta's COs, we get to:

Destiny: Preventative Policy 4, Launch Scout 2
Ellen: Consolidate Power 2, Major Victory 2
Gaeta: Launch Scout 2
Tory:
Adama:
Boomer:

Running tally: 12 - 0 = 12. Pass!

Tory is up next.

BSG (Gaeta)

Yup, that was a correct interpretation. Hey there, Destiny!
