I pass on the interupts, but I can help on the check.

I pass on interrupts. CO's sent for the skill check.

Here's the full play:

Jump Computer Failure: 7 PB

Destiny: 2 cards
Gaeta: 1 card
Apollo: 1 card
Kat: 0 cards
Adama: 2 cards
Tory: 2 cards

Cards played:

Guts and Initiative 2
Launch Scout 2
Strategic Planning 3
Critical Situation 3
Repair 1
Iron Will 0
Executive Order 2
Maximum Firepower 5

Tally: 11 - 7 = 4. Fail! However, the total is within 4 of the pass level, and the Iron Will prevents the fail effect from occurring. No effect!

Finally, the basestar launches three new raiders. That concludes Tory's turn. Gaeta has opted to draw 2Y for his optional draw. Mr Gaeta, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

BSG (President)

Well. That is interesting. Most of us draw green. Two of us draw red. Either destiny hates us, or, someone spiked the deck a bit. Not unsurprising, given that we have passed the sleeper phase.

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

BSG (Kat)

Two of us draw red.

One of those two didn't play into the check. So I suppose that just leaves Apollo, although Destiny could also hate us a lot. That happens.

The Iron Will saved us, so I wouldn't consider that a spike, even though it was off-color. In conclusion, I can't tell whether that check was spiked or not.

Ah, good point. Well, it would hold to history if Apollo is a Toaster. He is played by ND after all
