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

BSG

Gaeta's COs are:

Move: none
Action: Play XO-1 on Ellen.

ellen, you have received an XO. You may either move and take an action, or not move and take two actions. When you're ready, please post your orders.

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

BSG (Lady MacTigh)

Oh, wow, what a display of trust! I will remain where I am.

For my first action, I play LS-1 on the Crisis Deck.

BSG (Ellen, a Handbasket)

Holy frak, a well-timed Scout. Bury that sucker.

For my second trick, I activate Research Lab and draw Purple.

Card sent. Administrative note: Ellen's Research Lab draw exhausted the Tactics deck. I've reshuffled the discards.

Meanwhile, Mr Gaeta's been doing some exploring of his own. His crisis is:

Temple of the Five
Skill Check (9 PB)

Possible interrupts: IC, reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Tory will play first, Gaeta last.

BSG (Ellen)

Geez, what do we have to do to get some frakking jump prep? We can't LOSE one!

I can only help a little on this check, but I'm hoping Adama and Boomer can help more since they didn't have to play into the last PB check. Tory, want to open any committees over there?


Laga - Sep 20, 2011 6:32:09 am PDT #13192 of 26134
You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

BSG (Tory, your District Selectman)

I can't help at all with the check but this certainly bears investigating. I play an IC-4 interrupt but I pass on playing into the check.

BSG

Everyone else passes on interrupts. Destiny once again sees fit to give you a boost:

Destiny: Scientific Research 3, Broadcast Location 1
Tory: 0 cards
Adama:
Boomer:
Ellen: (COs received)
Gaeta: (COs received)

Running tally: 3 - 1 = 2. Fail. Adama is up next.
