Morale falls to 8. Next, Scar activates. He destroys the
SS Castrovalva,
for a loss of
1 Population,
and moves to Sector 4. Finally, the jump track gets moving. That concludes Apollo's turn. Kat's cards are going out. Kat, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

All right, what we have here is a
Critical Situation-4.
Yes, that's right, I'm going to end up in Sickbay after this, so please appreciate my sacrifice and get me out of there in time.
I
activate Comms.
Civvies A and B, come in! Come in! You realize it's SCAR out there, right? Frakkin' SCAR! HE WILL DESTROY YOU. Manifests, now, immediately, yesterday!
BSG (Pressident, and resident Mother Hen)
Kat, I appreciate your wanting to save our fleet, but if you keep screaming like that into the comms, you will end up in sickbay with a sore throat.

Per CO, Kat moves civvie A to Sector 5 and leaves civvie B where it is. Next, she calls on civvies D and E, moving both of them clockwise. She is found shortly afterwards twitching on the floor, having apparently attempted to snort the mic. As she is wheeled to Sickbay, however, the mic sputters back to life. Kat's crisis is:
Unidentified Ship
Skill Check (10 PR)
Possible interrupts: IC, SR, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Adama plays first, Kat last.
BSG (Kat)
Per CO, Kat moves civvie A to Sector 5
Actually, A goes to Sector 3.
Next, she calls on civvies D and E, moving both of them clockwise.
Actually, D goes counterclockwise and E goes clockwise.
Blah, that's not a great crisis. I don't want more Raiders on the board! And we need a jump icon, come on now! I can help a lot, though.
BSG
This just in:
Tory plays an Investigative Committee 4.
Everyone else has passed on interrupts, so the check begins with Adama. Thanks to the IC, everyone's play (except Destiny) is face up.
One reminder, as this is happening more often: if it's your turn to play, post directly in-thread. Don't just send it to me - that creates extra work, and if I'm not online at the time, creates delays. Email me with COs before your turn to play.
Unidentified Ship:

YOU GUYS I FRAKKED UP.
We are okay for now, but it is critical that before Scar activates, someone moves civvie E or F back into Sector 5. I forgot that he will go after the nearest civvie, period, not just blindly circle the ship in a clockwise direction. If we don't put a civvie in Sector 5, he's going to wreak havoc in Sector 3, which was meant to be SAFE.
BSG
Hey guys, we started this check over a day ago and so far all I've received towards resolving it is two COs. It feels like things have been slowing down a bit lately, which makes the game less engaging for everyone (and encourages further slowing down). Let's try to pick up the pace again.
