Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

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.

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

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.

Cain: Launch Scout 1
Starbuck: Maximum Firepower 5

I play LS-1 R-2

BSG

COs from Tory: she plays 0 cards. That gives us:

Cylon Virus: 13 PB

Destiny: 2 cards
Dee: Launch Scout 1, Strategic Planning 3, Strategic Planning 5, Repair 1
Cain: Launch Scout 1
Starbuck: Maximum Firepower 5
Cally: Launch Scout 1, Repair 2
Tory: 0 cards

Running tally: 14 - 5 = 9 + Destiny. Will it get you over the line? Destiny reveals:

Consolidate Power 1
Preventative Policy 4

Ouch. It really wasn't with you there. Tally drops to 4, and fail. There's no one in FTL Control, so no one is sent to Sickbay; but one Centurion is added to the Boarding Party track.

That concludes Cally's turn. Dee's cards are going out. Dee, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
