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

BSG (Your Amoral President)

Pass on interrupts. I can only help a little.

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

BSG(Cally)

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

BSG

He's a nimble bugger when properly motivated.

You're already on it, but: possible interrupts are IC, SR, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG

No interrupts from me.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

BSG

Pass on interrupts

I hope only a little help from me will be enough.

BSG (Tory)

My goodness, look at everyone with COs this time! I play 1 card.

COs from Dee to play 2 cards. Let's see what happens:

Trust Instincts 0
Launch Scout 1
Launch Scout 1
Launch Scout 1
Strategic Planning 4
Scout for Fuel 6
Declare Emergency 3
Evasive Maneouvre 1
Broadcast Location 1

Tally: 13 - 5 = 8. Pass! However, there is a Trust Instincts-0 in the check. Destiny adds two more cards:

Calculations 4
Calculations 5

Ohhh, that's not good. New tally: 13 - 14 = -1. Fail! Starbuck remains locked up!

Starbuck, you have one action remaining. When you're ready, please post your orders.

Our wings are not tired

BSG (Helena)

Well that looks like it was spiked. I say we start airlocking people.

BSG (Tory)

Frak. Well, no one has Treachery, so it has to be the DE or EM. And it's not the EM because no one has Piloting. So it's the DE. And I think we all draw Green, so that's not very helpful. Wait, the only person who is clear is Starbuck, because she only had two cards, and she played her Green card in the last check. Starbuck did not spike it. Also, Dee did not spike it because she has all Purple. That leaves you, me, and Cally. And since it's not me, it's either you or Cally. And I wouldn't think a Cylon would play Major Victory because no one would know she WASN'T doing it, so that leaves...you. Oh, this isn't working out so well with the logic.

Godsdamn those instincts. Could have gone either way; we got positive Destiny on the last check, after all.

Starbuck, if you want to try again, I can help a little, but we may have to wait for a bit to fill up our cards at this point. And you can't do anything else. So...godsdamn those instincts.
