Vipers fixed. Mr Gaeta, are you sure you know what you're doing there? We don't normally see you with a wrench in your hand. Gaeta's crisis is:
Weapon Malfunction
Skill Check (11 PRB)
Possible interrupts: IC, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You may also vote to TANK if you wish.
BSG (Ellen)
Well, seems like a no-brainer to pass on interrupts and TANK this one.
BSG
Um, oops? Yeah, no interrupts, I TANK.
BSG
TANK

Good enough. The check is TANKED. Destiny reveals:
Launch Scout 1
Broadcast Location 1
Tally: 1 - 1 = 0. Destiny's just stopped trying, is what I'm seeing. Check fails, for no effect. No Cylon ships launch, the jump track goes nowhere. That nailbiting excitement ends Gaeta's turn. Tory's cards are going out. President Foster, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

... Wait, voting to TANK a check doesn't also have the humans put their excess treachery in? I thought that was discussed before, since it's the only safe way to ditch them.

Players can leave COs to do so if they wish, but in the absence of such orders, tanking simply means that no one wishes to play anything. This is so because it is after all the players' game, and it's not my place to make such decisions for them (not to mention potential secrecy concerns).
BSG (Tory)
How much of a crisis is Population at this point? Is it wiser to wait for an XO and get an extra action on my turn? I don't see any of you in a great position to receive an XO at this point but I don't want to act before considering all the options. If you were to receive an XO right now could you make something wonderful happen?
BSG (Ellen)
I could wonderfully diversify my hand, but that's about it.
