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

BSG

You mean 1 - 9 = -8, right?

Oh, sorry. I hadn't updated Destiny from the previous check. It was -7, now -2:

Destiny: Support the People 2, Human Weakness 3
Boomer: Scout for Fuel 6
Ellen: Consolidate Power 2, Preventative Policy 3
Gaeta:
Tory:
Adama:

Gaeta is next.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Gaeta)

Sheesh, guess I should have hung onto that Red Tape!

I play XO1, LS1, TI0.

The Instinct is a gamble, but I'm working on the premise that it's gotta help more than my piddly one pointers after being negative to begin with, and that we'll be able to see what it does. I haven't been keeping up my spreadsheet, so I have no real idea what might actually be in that deck right now.

Argh, the more I talk about it, the more convinced I am that I don't, in fact, trust my instincts. But what the frak, I'm going for it.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG

Ooh...so it doesn't get turned up right away? I had forgotten that from previous games I guess. Sorry, remaining people for whom I have now introduced the element of uncertainty!

It does not. (Consider if there were no IC, it'd be impossible to resolve immediately without revealing what you played.) Now the Destiny of Damocles hangs over this check!

Oh, right. That is true. Captain Logic has departed my tugboat.

He has given way to... Commandant Destiny!

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

Hold up a moment. I need to clarify something with Tory.
