Gaeta plays an IC-3; everyone else passes on interrupts. The check begins.

Unexpected Reunion: 8 YGP

Destiny: 2 cards
Apollo: Preventative Policy 3
Kat: No cards
Adama:
Tory:
Gaeta: (max 3 cards)

Running tally: 3 + Destiny.

Adama is up next. Administrative note: Destiny's play has reduced the destiny deck to 6 cards. I've refilled and reshuffled it.

All right!

I play AAC-5 and DE-4.

Boy, I hope there's no Red Tape in Destiny......

Running tally of 12. Tory is up next.

I play Green 4 Declare Emergency.

That should put the running total to 16. Destiny would really have to hate us to put us in failure.

I have orders from Mr Gaeta to play 0 cards. Let's see what Destiny adds:

Unexpected Reunion: 8 YGP

Destiny: Declare Emergency 3, Trust Instincts 0
Apollo: Preventative Policy 3
Kat: No cards
Adama: Declare Emergency 4, At Any Cost 5
Tory: Declare Emergency 4
Gaeta: 0 cards

Tally: 19 - 0 = 19. Pass! But Destiny has added a TI-0, which means two more cards are on their way:

Preventative Policy 4, Launch Scout 1

Tally: 24 - 0 24. Pass!

So, that went well. Galactica knows how to party, amirite? Less promising: the five raiders now open fire on Apollo.

Raider 1: 3. Miss.
Raider 2: 1. Miss.
Raider 3: 5. Hit! He'd been doing so well, but now he lands in Sickbay. The last two raiders move to Sector 2.

That concludes Gaeta's turn. Apollo starts his turn in Sickbay, and therefore may draw only one card. He has chosen to draw Yellow. Apollo, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Announcement: tomorrow, I'm off to China for two weeks. That means I will most likely be checking in less often (assuming this website or my email laccount isn't simply blocked).

Meanwhile, over the last week we've only completed one turn. I know there are people for whom real life is intruding, but the game has become ridiculously slow. This hurts the gameplay experience for everyone, and isn't fair on the other players.

My current tip is: if your turn is coming up, plan for it now. If you want to get other people's opinions on what you might do, ask before your turn. If you need to ask me any questions, same story: ask before your turn. Then, when your turn actually starts, try to get your orders in within the day. Your card draw might affect your choices, but most of them are fairly obvious and can be anticipated - whether you draw an XO or not, whether pilots get a Max Firepower and such like.

Of course, it's a great time to push this just before I become less accessible for a fortnight. I'll try to push things forward as best I can; but when I get back, let's try and pick up the pace.

And on that note, orders from Apollo:

Move to Command
Action: launch two vipers into Sector 5
AVP: jump into one of the newly launched vipers
Bonus action: Play Consolidate Power 1 for 2 Red

New cards are going out. But the fleet reacts to the CAG's presence among them, not with relief but with fear. While he was in Sickbay, he was replaced with Season 3 fat-suit Apollo, and the civilians rush to hide their twinkies! Apollo's crisis is:

Food Hoarding in the Fleet
President's Choice

President Foster, when you're ready, please post your choice.
