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

BSG

I have COs from Gaeta:

Move to Pegasus CIC (discard LS-1)
Play XO-1 on Ellen

Ellen Tigh, 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)

Whoa, I wasn't expecting that. Er.

Well, I will remain in Command, as I presume the reason I have been chosen instead of Adama is to take care of that last Raider. I activate Command and fire on the Raider with the RSV.

As I'm not entirely sure what to do with the rest of my turn, I will put in COs for eventualities if I get a hit.

She shoots!

Die roll: 5. Hit! The last raider has been destroyed.

You have remaining one viper activation, and one action. When you're ready, please post your orders.

I move 1 RSV from Sector 5 to Sector 4.

For my second action, I play CP-1 to draw 2 Piloting. Come ooooon, EMs. Those Basestars are going to start spitting out Raiders.

Cards sent. I think we can all agree that when you're under heavy attack is the perfect time for a piss-up. Gaeta's crisis is:

Colonial Day
Current Player's Choice

Mr Gaeta, when you're ready, please post your choice. If Gaeta chooses the skill check, possible interrupts are: IC, SR, Reckless. Everyone can send me COs for the eventuality, as well as your play into the skill check. (Tory would begin it, Gaeta would finish it.)

I can help a lot on the check. We should go for it.

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

BSG (Your Humble President, Tory the Great)

You know, I was going to draw red, but so many of them only apply to when 'you' are piloting a viper I wasn't sure what the chances of drawing something helpful would be.

I agree we should go for the check and I am prepared to launch an investigation to make sure Colonial Day is a success.

Yeah, it's a gamble, but I figured that even if I didn't pull an EM, I'd have Red for a check.

Orders from Mr Gaeta: choose the check. Tory plays an IC-3. Everyone else passes on interrupts.

Tory plays first into the check:

Destiny: Guts and Initiative 1, Evasive Manoeuvre 1
Tory:
Adama:
Boomer:
Ellen:
Gaeta: (COs received)

Running tally: 1 - 1 = 0. Fail.
