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

BSG (Ellen)

Frak, I was hoping you could help more. I can help a little or a little more if we're willing to pass at any cost. Boomer will be our savior.

Pass on interrupts.

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

BSG (Tory)

If we're goiong for it, I think I should play the IC. Does anyone think we should tank?

BSG (Felix I'm a man, I'm a man, yes I am Gaeta)

I agree; I don't think we should tank. The IC would be helpful.

BSG (Ellen, a Handbasket)

I figure if the IC reveals that Destiny is two hugely negative cards, maybe we decide to save our cards if it seems insurmountable. Right now we don't seem too confident, but we really ought to try as hard as we can.

An AAC would also help a little, if we had one, since Destiny could also have Treachery.

I demand an investigation!

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

BSG

Sheesh, you make someone President and suddenly they're acting like they're in charge or something. The IC has been played! Everyone else passes on interrupts. Let's see what Destiny has in store:

Destiny: Launch Scout 1, Evasive Maneouvre 2
Adama:
Boomer: (COs received)
Ellen: (COs received)
Gaeta:
Tory:

Running tally: 3 - 0 = 3. Fail. Adama is up first.

I am seized with paranoia about a double Cylon spike.

BSG (ELLEN)

Wow, thanks, Destiny!

A double Cylon spike would be silly because we'd have three turns to brig them.

Hey, you could have made this check magically pass! Too late now.

I play a CS-3 and an SP-3.

Running Tally: 15 - 0 = 15. Pass! I have COs from Ellen, but given that a pass level has been reached, I will ask her to confirm.
