"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Gaeta)

Okay, I can reckless us up if we want. This is a low number check, but purple and red are not strong colors for what we draw, yes? So it might be a good time? And/or I could add blue into the mix if that would help?

PASS

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

BSG (Ellen)

Pass on interrupts, and I can't help at all!

Now would be a good time for recklessness, I suppose. We're ambushed!

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

BSG

I have COs from Gaeta: he plays a Jury Rigged-2. The check difficulty drops by 4, to 3 PR; and this check is now Reckless. I have passes on interrupts from everyone else, which means we're ready to start. There is no IC on this check, so everyone, please post the number of cards you play, and send me the details.

Destiny: 2 cards
Adama:
Boomer:
Ellen:
Gaeta: (COs received)
Tory:

Adama is up first.

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

BSG (Tory of Tiny Town)

I play 2 cards.

BSG

That's everyone's play. Did the check pass? Fail? Massively overshoot? Let's find out. Cards played:

Launch Scout 1
Launch Scout 1
Launch Scout 1
Launch Scout 2
Guts and Initiative 2
Launch Scout 2
Launch Scout 2
Evasive Manoeuvre 2
Maximum Firepower 3
Investigative Committee 4
By Your Command 1

Tally: 16 - 5 = 11. Pass! The check brings you no effect. However... This was a Reckless check, and as a result, the By Your Command takes effect. Three things happen:

1. Raiders activate: Advance to Sectors 5 and 6.
2. Heavy raiders activate: One launches from each basestar.
3. Occupation forces activate: Moves to Breeders Canyon.

The raiders are about to activate again, due to the crisis card's Cylon activation icon. The order in which they are activated could make a difference. Tory, as current player it's your choice. Do you wish to activate Sector 5 or Sector 6 first?

Sector 5 first, please.

Sector 5 it is. The raiders fire on the RSVs:

Raider 1: 1. Miss.
Raider 2: 4. Miss.
Raider 3: 1. Miss.
Raider 4: 2. Miss.

Wow. Those are some sad raiders. Let's see if Sector 6 has any better luck:

Raider 1: 4. Miss.
Raider 2: 7. RSV damaged!
Raider 3: 8. RSV destroyed!

With the sector now clear of defenders, the last raider is free to attack the civilian ship directly. It contained:

Civilian ship A: 1 Population.

Population falls to 2. Another civvie must now be evacuated to either Sector 5 (containing 2 RSVs and 4 raiders) or Sector 6 (containing 4 raiders and no RSVs). Tory, where would you like to move it?
