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!

Nice one Gaius. I play one card.

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

BSG

I have COs from everyone else. The play:

Mysterious Guide: 11 YG

Destiny: 2 cards
Six: 1 card
Baltar: 2 cards
Dee: 1 card
Roslin: 1 card
Cally: 2 cards
Starbuck: 1 card
Tigh: 3 cards

And what were these cards?

Consolidate Power 1
Consolidate Power 2
Preventative Policy 3
Iron Will 0
Executive Order 1
Executive Order 1
Executive Order 2
Executive Order 2
Executive Order 2
At Any Cost 3
Declare Emergency 3
Scientific Research 4
Strategic Planning 5

Tally: 24 - 5 = 19. Pass! The jump track advances by 1.

Finally, the raiders activate. There's a juicy target right in front of them, and they open fire on Starbuck:

Raider 1: 8. Viper destroyed! No one plays an EM. The viper is lost. Fortunately, Starbuck managed to eject, and winds up in Sickbay. The second raider now sees its way clear to the civvies, and moves to Sector 2.

That concludes Tigh's turn. Six may draw either 1G/1B or 1G/1T. Six, what would you like to draw?

BSG (The Good Dr)

Wow, maybe my inspirational speech was a bit TOO inspiring. We kicked that cards ASS! Let's try and get IC's in the future. It really helps keep a lid on the over-shootin'. Granted, we are all at reduced cards with the start of the game and all. But something to think about.

All in all, a rather impressive way to start the game!

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

BSG (Tigh)

Can't help with the ICs as I don't draw yellow. But yes, I find them quite helpful.

I'm feeling pretty good about being on Team Human at the moment. I even think Six is on our side, seeing as both cards she held were positive for the check.

BSG (Handle With Kara)

Even Destiny wanted us to be closer to jumping, at least a a little. That's always nice.

Ah, time to kick back and relax in sickbay. What? No cigars? But Doc Cottle smokes like a chimney!

Ciggies are fine. Cigars will kill ya. Sheesh, I thought everyone knew that.

Cigars don't kill people, cylons kill people.

1B 1G please.

Also, clarification: I have to be Infiltrating to use cards for their text, right? And if I Activate Human Fleet to Infiltrate, that's my action for the turn?
