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

The running tally is now 16. Will this be enough? Destiny adds:

Strategic Planning 3
Scout for Fuel 6

Tally: 25 - 0 = 25. Pass, a lot! I've been waiting to see which skill check would get that Destiny. Lucky you, it counts positive in this one.

The Population is saved. Kat gets to launch an RSV into Sector 5, thanks to the PtF-0. Not to be outdone, the basestar responds by launching three raiders. That concludes Kat's turn. Adama's cards are going out. Admiral Adama, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

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

BSG (Kat)

SON OF A...dammit, I liked that Best of the Best. Geez, Destiny, way to help out.

Adama, I would like to reiterate the necessity of moving E or F into Sector 5 to draw Scar away from Sector 3. I would also suggest leaving a civvie in Sector 6 to keep the 3 Raiders from moving clockwise toward Sector 3. They're currently undefended, after all.

BSG(Actual Factual Papa)

Well, I can't see any better option than our new ace's suggestion. I Move to Comms and activate it on civvie E and F.

SS Ariel, SS Sebastian, this is Galactica Actual. Transmit your manifests at once.

Call sign Echo, move to Sector 5. Call sign Foxtrot, hold your position.

The Admiral orders the SS Esperanto closer into the path of danger! How will he explain this to the fleet? Or could it be kept under wraps? Adama's crisis card is:

Informing the Public
Current Player's Choice

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

I'm inclined to go for the Skill Check. Comments? Suggestions?

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

BSG (President)

I think go for the check. Given your #1cards count positive ability, and the low mark, I think we can do it.

Question for everyone, I can either interrupt, or help in the check. Do we want to help keep it honest?

BSG(The Husker Hammer)

All right, I will Choose Option 1(Skill Check) and advise La Presidenta that a committee would be a very good idea.

BSG (Presidente)

Very well, I shall convene an Investigative Committee 4 so that this skill check is above board.
