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

Starbuck finishes up with 1 card. Let's find out how it went down:

Trust Instincts 0
Broadcast Location 1
Broadcast Location 1
God's Plan 2

Tally: 0 - 4 = -4. Fail! However, the Trust Instincts kicks in. Why? Because, well, it wasn't enough to fail the check, and now Destiny wants to taunt you a little too. It adds:

Strategic Planning 3
Maximum Firepower 3

Tally: 6 - 4 = 2. Fail, positively!

With three cards in there that have a skill check effect, the consequence is well and truly triggered. I have COs from Starbuck to damage each ship once. That means a total of two civvies destroyed, 1 Galactica damage and 1 Pegasus damage. Let's count it up.

Civvie 1: 2 Population
Civvie 2: 1 Population, 1 Morale

Damage - Galactica: -1 Fuel
Damage - Pegasus: Airlock

Oh, man. That could hardly have gone worse for you. Mercifully, that concludes Starbuck's turn. Cally, you've just landed in Sickbay, which means you may draw only one card on your turn. Which colour would you like?

Well, looks like Destiny would have triggered the Consequence anyway, but...holy frak, that was not a nice Crisis. And, really, REALLY? Only ONE hit to Pegasus, and it was the Airlock??

Cally, get thee to the Armory. I suggest you draw Purple and hope for an SP. START SHOOTING.

Cally, are you going to let her talk to you like that? Who does she think she is, President or something? I say you should head to Colonial One and shoot her IN THE FACE!

BSG (Tory Poppins)

Wait, Cally AND Cain are in Sickbay?? Lords of Kobol.

Cally, can you XO Cain out, and then I can XO you out? Or I can XO Cain to shoot, and Cain can XO you out?

And now we're low on Fuel, but I can help a little with the Quorum if we last that long.

Cally can both move herself out of Sickbay and XO Cain, if she wishes (and has an XO).

That is an excellent point. Yes, let's do that one.

Aw, and I didn't get you anything.
