Thrive to spite them

BSG (Cally-fornia Girl)

I say take a chance on the basestar!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

BSG (Tigh one on)

I move to Weapons Control and FIRE on the base star. But wait, there's more! I have a plan! I play SP-3.

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

The Admiral fires at the basestar:

Die roll: 7 + 2 = 9. Hit! The basestar is destroyed!

Well, someone's had his Weetbix. Or did he get some help with that shot? Tigh's crisis is:

Admiral Tigh, when you're ready, please post your choice.

I can only help a tiny bit with that skill check. Maybe take the Morale hit if we don't want to risk it?

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

BSG (Dee-VR)

Good shootin', Admiral! But I can only help a little with the check, which seems to be a common sentiment. Not sure if we can pass it, although it would be great to. No jump prep yet!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

BSG (Starbuck)

I can help us to not fail if we go for the skill check. It sure would be nice if we could pass it. This would be a good time for Tigh (or someone) to say something like "I got this, we are totally passing this check".

Looks like I'll probably be in sick bay soon. I'd rather not be stuck there for too long, people with upcoming turns. In case you were wondering.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

BSG (Beaker)

Given the number of cards we all have, I doubt any white knights swooping in. Given that, I can help a fair amount. I can also help those folks singing the blues to sing major chords (wink wink... Ya get what I'm saying).

That to say, I'd hate to take another hit to morale, let's go with option 1.

BSG (Tigher than a kite)

I can help and it appears we want to go for it. I choose option 1 and pass on interrupts.

BSG

The check is on! I have interrupt COs from -- everyone, actually. Good stuff! Everyone passes except Baltar, who plays a Scientific Research 4.

Here's the check token:

Mysterious Guide: 11 YG(B)

Destiny: 2 cards
Six: (max 1 card)
Baltar: (COs received)
Dee:
Roslin:
Cally: (COs received)
Starbuck:
Tigh:

Caprica Six is first to play. There is no IC on this check, so everyone, post the number of cards you play and email me the details.

BSG (Ladies man brainiac)

Yes, and it's more than 11 YG, blue now counts positive. Let's pass this. It's the only way we get the precious jump icon.

11 YG-B!
