I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

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

BSG (Ellen)

I go back in time and discard CP-1.

Scar! At least it's only Scar. We should be able to avoid him until we jump. Maybe.

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

BSG (Tory! Tory! Tory!)

Hmm. Who to XO? Anybody with, say perhaps a scouting mission in mind? I figure my staying put is the best option, I can continue to receive XOs to work the quorum. I can also launch a scout myself but if I XO one of youse you get an extra action as well.

I'm open to other suggestions as well.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Gaeta)

Well, I could scout. We are getting low on our raptors to risk, though. And I don't have anything particularly interesting to do with the second action. I could also move to Pegasus and repair CIC so that we'd have that back in our arsenal. But it would require a move, so we wouldn't get the benefit of the double action. And it wouldn't go directly after Scar, that would have to wait for another turn, and perhaps another raider activation would occur in the meanwhile.

If it doesn't get us an extra turn I'm not sure it's worth using the XO. I'll stay put and play CP-1 to draw 2 Red.

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

BSG

Cards sent. Hey, does Tory actually know how to fly a viper? Maybe she needs some tutoring. Tory's crisis card is:

Mysterious Guide
Current Player's Choice

As this is a current player's choice, Tory's weakness takes effect. She chooses the skill check. Possible interrupts: IC, SR, Reckless. everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Adama plays first, Tory last.

Our wings are not tired

BSG (Adama)

Sorry for the delay, it's been a crazy day.

I play IW-0, MV-2, XO-2, AAC-3

Hopefully that will get us off on the right foot.

Destiny: Support the People 1, By Your Command 1
Adama: Iron Will 0, Major Victory 2, Executive Order 2, At Any Cost 3
Boomer: (max 1 card)
Ellen:
Gaeta: (COs received)
Tory:

Running Tally: 7. Fail; however, the Iron Will means that the fail effect is currently ignored, as the total is within 4 of the pass level. Boomer is next to play.

Administrative note: with this check, Destiny has fallen to 6 cards. I have rebuilt the Destiny deck. Doing so has exhausted the Leadership deck. I've reshuffled the discards.
