Tally: 21 - 3 = 18. It looks like we have not so much unexplained deaths as we have overexplained deaths. (The part of David Caruso will be played by Admiral Adama.) The check passes by a lot - no effect!
Raiders and the jump track advance. That concludes Ellen's turn. However, she is 1 card over her hand limit. She opts to discard: God's Plan 2. Boomer has left COs to pass on Sabotage. The discard goes unpunished!
Gaeta has opted to draw 1Y/1G in his card draw. Mr Gaeta, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

BSG (Gaeta, Explained)
Okay, it's late, and I don't know if anyone's around to confer, but I'm going to be super busy all day tomorrow so I'm going to act kinda unilaterally here. Hope it works out okay. Honorable gamemaster, please tell me if anything I am trying to do is illegal and I will amend!
For my movement phase, I play PP4 to prevent loss of population this turn. (Is population a resource?)
For my action phase, I activate Pegasus CIC to attack the basestar in Sector 1.
I also play my SP3 as an interrupt on the die roll.
BSG
That is indeed all legal. This is CIC's first shot after being patched up. Let's see if it's in proper working order.
Die roll: 2 + 2 = 4. One hit! Just as well you had that SP. What did you hit? ...You did Structural Damage. All future attacks against this basestar will be made at +2.
That was cool. Kersplosions are always cool. What could be better than a kersplosion? ...How about two kersplosions? Gaeta's crisis is:
Hangar Accident
Skill Check (10 PRB)
Possible interrupts: IC, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Tory plays first, Gaeta last.
BSG (Ellen)
Wow, way to be psychic, Gaeta! And nice shooting. Pass on interrupts, and I can't help with this check at all.
BSG
I have passes from everyone. Let's begin.
