I
activate Comms.
Come in, Civvies C and F! Yeah, I don't know why I can only talk to two of you at a time either, but look, I'm almost down from my meds and LIFE JUST SUCKS but it's going to suck a lot more for you unless you tell me what's on your frakking ships.
BSG (Kat)
Civvie C, join your friends in Sector 5.
Civvie F? Civvie F? ANYONE HOME? Civvie F? Oh, go give the Heavy Raiders something to look at over in Sector 1.
For my second action, I
LS-1 the Crisis Deck.
BSG
Civvies moved, and scout launched. Let's see how it does.
Die roll: 5. Pass.
The top card of the crisis deck is being sent now. Kat, when you're ready, please post whether to put it on the top or the bottom of the crisis deck.
BSG (Kat)
Oh, bury that. Sheesh.
BSG
It's gone. Let's see if this is more to your taste. Tory's crisis card is:
Keep Tabs on Visitor
Current Player's Choice
Ooh, Current Player's Choice on Tory's turn! Due to her weakness, she
chooses Option 1.
Possible interrupts: IC, SR, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Gaeta plays first, Tory last.
BSG (Katastrophe)
Well, fraaaak. Yay for the jump icon, but we really need to pass that check, and we just overplayed one! Gah. I can still help; how about everyone else?
Pass on interrupts, though.
(Alternatively, if we don't think we can actually pass it, take our chances with the die roll and an SP, if someone has one?)
BSG(Puffer-belly Papa)
I
play Guts and Initiative-1
BSG (President)
Frak. That last overplay was a bit much. C'mon people, it was an open check! Ok, I've given CO's for another IC. I can help a lot with this check. And given the reckless nature, we won't have destiny thwarting us. I am confident we can get this check, get that jump icon, and jump to safety!! Now let's keep cool heads, and do this thing!!!
This check will kill my hand, but when we jump clear, it will be worth it!!
BSG
Tory-adore once again contributes an
Investigative Committee 3.
Everyone else has passed on interrupts, so the check begins. Thanks to Adama's Guts and Initiative 1, Destiny is staying well out of this one. This check's all on the crew.
