Starbuck makes her lone assault against the basestar:
Die roll: 8 + 2 = 10. Hit! Let's check the damage: Critical Hit! One more hit will destroy the basestar.
Now that's the way you start the game. The crowd demands, why isn't Starbuck in charge of the fleet? Clearly there's something suss about the current leadership. Starbuck's crisis is:
Cylon Screenings
Current Player's Choice
Starbuck, when you've finished buzzing the CIC, please post your choice.
BSG (STARbuck)
Wheeeee! I don't want to make decisions about cylon screenings I want to keep shooting cylons out of the sky!
OK, fine, can't solve every problem with a viper. My gut says we don't want to lose all those cards right now. I wouldn't mind a little knowledge about our leaders loyalty, maybe we should tank the check? What say you, Galacticans?
BSG (Tigh)
look at all the pretty lights! I'd go for the skill check and I can help a little.
Seriously beautiful turn, Starbuck.
BSG (Dee-lited!)
That was frakking amazing.
I say tank the check and check the Admiral, since that's crucial on New Caprica. Or the President, since she's making important decisions.
I wouldn't be able to help very much on the check anyway.
BSG (Tigh)
I highly recommend you check the President, as I am 100% human... but that's what a cylon would say, so...
I can't imagine a cylon Starbuck using so many cards she didn't have to just to make us think she's human. I'm almost certain she'll tell the truth about the loyalty card she checks.
I vote to TANK .
BSG (Dee)
I can't imagine a cylon Starbuck using so many cards she didn't have to just to make us think she's human. I'm almost certain she'll tell the truth about the loyalty card she checks.
Yeah, I agree. It was pretty excessive. TOO EXCESSIVE?? I think we've been fooled before. But I would trust her on this for now.
I vote to TANK.
BSG
That's two votes to TANK. If everyone votes to TANK (and assuming that Starbuck chooses the skill check, which if she voted to TANK too would make sense), then I will simply reveal Destiny and resolve the check.
BSG Cally
After that display I think Starbuck has to be human and trustworthy - right?
So I vote TANK
BSG(Seis)
Either way it's more information.
TANK like a Resurrection Ship.
BSG (Scientist)
The joys of the start of the game, we have resources to spare. Alas, cards are at a minimum, so I agree, tank. I trust SuperAce-Starbuck to be on our side. That was some damn fine flyin'!
I play no cards into the check.
