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

BSG

Let me make that decision easier. Cain plays an SP-4. She aims:

Die roll: 7 + 2 = 9. Hit! Helio! hits the dirt. Cain's even left time to take a meeting. Her crisis is:

Meett Liaison Officer
Skill Check (10 YP)

If the humans fail this check, Fuel will fall to 0 and the Cylons will win. Possible interrupts: IC, SR, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me your COs for the check itself. Starbuck plays first, Cain last.

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

BSG (Taura Foslin)

Frak, I hate when SPs go to waste, but at least we took one down. And...oh frak, look at that skill check.

I can help a lot on this check, and there's no point holding back since if we fail, we FAIL. I hope I draw some good cards if we last that long.

Pass on interrupts.

I have everyone's orders. Here we go:

Meet Liaison Officer: 10 YP

Destiny: 2 cards
Starbuck: 1 card
Boomer: 1 card
Roslin: 2 cards
Dee: 1 card
Cain: 3 cards

Cards played:

Consolidate Power 1
Consolidate Power 1
Preventative Policy 5
Launch Scout 1
Launch Scout 2
Critical Situation 3
Strategic Planning 5
Evasive Maneouvre 1
Full Throttle 2
Maximum Firepower 3

Tally: 18 - 6 = 12. Pass! You're fortunate there was no Red Tape in that one. The fleet saves its Fuel and lives to fight another day! Finally, the jump track advances. That concludes Cain's turn. Starbuck has opted to draw 1 Blue and 1 Treachery. We'll start her turn shortly.

Administrative note: Starbuck's draw exhausted the Treachery deck. I've reshuffled the discards.

BSG

For her turn, Starbuck has opted to activate the Occupation Authority. Natasha gets it into gear, while Jens takes her spot to practise his looming over Admiral Cain.

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

By the way, great job getting orders in on that skill check, everyone. One person even put in genuinely conditional COs.

BSG (Taura Foslin)

Whew, thanks, Destiny! That was close.

But I'm not sure how we deal with this neverending stream of OFs! At some point, we need to prepare civvies.

Boomer, punch someone, I guess.
