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 SUSPECT ALL OF YOU.

Careful there Madam President, you're looking a little feverish. Perhaps you've come down with a:

Cylon Virus
Skill Check (13 PB)

Possible interrupts: IC, Reckless (and TANK). Everyone, please pass or play.

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

BSG (Tory Potter)

Fraaaaak, that's not a good one to tank, and WHY CAN'T WE GET A FRAKKING JUMP ICON. Yet, I can't really help, and I don't think we can hit that high after our last few checks. Thoughts?

So if we start executing people as a brute force Cylon check we aren't running the risk of more Cylons anymore are we?

That is true. We've only got the two. Arbitrary executions aren't good for Morale, though.

So far this jump cycle you've had four jump icons (in a row) and three crises without a jump icon. (And Starbuck buried one card.) You're not actually running behind the curve here.

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

BSG (Cally)

I can help a little. I hate to tank another one but do we have a hope of passing?

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

BSG (Dee)

I could help a little. Hm, I could potentially help a lot with my OPG. I'm gonna take a stand and say boarding parties are bad.

Eta: that said, I must pass on interrupts.

In fact, I will just go ahead and use my OPG to draw 3P

Since it looks like we're going for it, I'm going to play an IC-3. Not going to let this one be spiked.
