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

Booker, you need to give both cards to one player. Which one do you choose?

I'm not sure whether a metal President or a metal Admiral is worse. What are the odds Boomer got another Cylon card? Normally, the whole "Cylon passing off a Loyalty card" is all smoke and mirrors, but she did get two.

Well, you're just determined to rain on my parade, aren't you? I think slow subversion of the government wins over sending you off into the wild black yonder; I pass them to Tory.

Boomer's extra loyalty cards have been sent to Tory. Hey, remember when those basestars shot at you and you told Pegasus to put itself in the way? Apparently the crew is not at all happy about that. Adama's crisis is:

Standoff with Pegasus
Skill Check (22 YGPR)

Possible interrupts: IC, SR, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Boomer goes first, Adama last.

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

BSG (Tory Tried and True)

Hey y'all I got this.

Boomer was shooting blanks and I have four cards in front of me right now saying I am not a cylon and I can prove it in a moment because I got this.

Oh there will be an investigation. You can always count on me for that. I play an IC-3.

Good call, Madame President! Plus, practically everything's positive. We can do this, easy. I can help a lot.

Mark just watched "Exodus, Part II" so now I am all excited to get to New Caprica so Adama can jump Galactica into the atmosphere. He can do that as an Action, right?

Galactica jumps back in when you complete the jump cycle. The Admiral jumps back out as an action. There is also a New Caprica crisis card called "Intra-Atmos Entry".

Ok, I'm invoking the 24-hour rule. Everyone else passes on interrupts. Boomer is up first.

Destiny: Consolidate Power 2, Repair 2
Boomer:
Ellen: (COs received)
Gaeta: (COs received)
Tory:
Adama:

Running tally: 2 - 2 = 0. Fail.

(Nibbles on transistor)

Eh. I'm still short on cards for now. Think I'll save it for something better.

Go, mammals, go! Burn those expendable cards so all you have left next crisis are the irreplaceable ones!

I play no cards.
