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

Tory's speechifying involves a die roll, which may be modified by an SP. Everyone, please pass or play. In addition, Tory, thanks to your ability, playing this Quorum card means you may draw two skill cards of your choice of colour(s). You can either post or CO your choice.

Ooh, ooh, I have a plan! I play my SP3 (3, right, bt?) ...because apparently I like speeches? I am easily inspired?

That's the one! Let's see if it helps.

Die roll: 4 + 2 = 6. Pass! Gaeta's assistance makes the difference. His contacts in the rent-a-crowd industry were only too happy to ensure a standing ovation. Morale increases by 1.

We'll pause here for Tory to post her skill card draw from the Quorum play.

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

BSG (Tory)

Oh yes! Thanks for the reminder. I'll take two purple please.

Cards sent. Unfortunately, there's a problem. Apparently Gaeta's connections are on the shady side, and they're demanding payment. Tory's crisis is:

The Black Market
Current Player's Choice

Due to Tory's weakness, she must choose 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.

I can help a lot with this check.

BSG (Tory, I cried)

I want to pass and I can help. And by the gods there's going to be an investigation!

I play IC-3.

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

BSG (Ellen)

You're the investigatingest president ever! I pass on interrupts and can help as well. Should be easy to pass this one.

BSG

Long enough for interrupts, everyone else passes. Here's Destiny:

Destiny: Protect the Fleet 0, Launch Scout 2
Adama:
Boomer:
Ellen: (COs received)
Gaeta: (COs received)
Tory:

Running tally: 2 - 0 = 2. Fail. Adama plays first.
