Pass on interrupts.

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

BSG

BSG

I have Cain's orders:

Brutal Treatment: 9 YP

Destiny: 2 cards
Starbuck: 1 card
Boomer: 0 cards
Roslin: 3 cards
Dee: 1 card
Cain: 3 cards

Cards played:

Red Tape 0
Consolidate Power 1
Consolidate Power 1
Consolidate Power 2
Launch Scout 1
Launch Scout 2
Strategic Planning 4
Iron Will 0
Run Interference 4
God's Plan 2

Tally: 11 - 6 = 5. Fail! There are no 5- or 6-value cards, so the Red Tape has no effect. However, the check is within 4 of the pass total, which means the Iron Will prevents the fail effect. No effect!

Turn ends with the jump track advancing - two more jump icons to Galactica's return! There's also an OF activation, which means the Bruces get a replacement. This time the Cylons mean business - watch as Fifty Centurion prepares to get all gangsta on your civvies!

That concludes Cain's turn. Starbuck has opted to draw 1 Blue and 1 Treachery. We will start her turn shortly.

Starbuck has left COs for her turn: move to Breeders Canyon and activate it. We're shaking things up here! Starbuck doesn't need any help from Centurions, she is just that much of a badass. In fact, all she needs to do is tell you all how it is and how it will be. That is enough of a crisis for you all. Starbuck's crisis is:

Demanded Surrender
President's Choice

President Roslin, when you're ready, please post your choice.

BSG (Roslintergalactic Planetary)

Holy frak, that was a nailbiter of a check. I'm glad I didn't hold back.

And this check basically forces us to reexamine that check. I am loathe to reduce yet another resource to 1 on purpose, so I choose Option 1 and send myself to Detention. Boomer, fight the good fight. Cain, get our ships off this godsforsaken rock.

BSG

Roslin refuses to surrender, and is locked up for her trouble. Fortunately, no one seems that cut up about it, and Morale is undamaged!

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