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

Apollo plays an SP-3. He fires:

Die roll: 3 + 2 = 5. Miss. It looks like Apollo burned up all his awesome in the last heavy raider sweep. Is he now destined to live the rest of his life in the shadow of that one perfect but never recaptured moment? Apollo's crisis card is:

Haunted by the Past
Skill Check (12 YG)

Possible interrupts: IC, SR, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Kat plays first, Apollo last.

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

BSG (President)

First, the timing on the activation sucks. Poor Apollo.

Second. Um. If we fail, we all toss a card away. If we try and pass it, we will burn far more cards. Do we want to tank this?

If all remaining humans vote to TANK this check (so, Apollo and Gaeta), I'll move straight to revealing Destiny and resolving the check.

The check tanks. Destiny plays:

Launch Scout 2
Special Destiny 2

Tally: 0 - 4 = 4. Fail. Each human player discards one skill card at random. The discards are:

Adama: Major Victory 2
Tory: Executive Order 1
Gaeta: Scientific Research 4
Apollo: Evasive Manoeuvre 2

Certainly cheaper than the 16 points you'd have needed to pass the check. In addition, the Special Destiny 2 in the check triggers the Consequence; however, as Apollo has no titles, there is no effect.

In other news, the heavy raider makes it to the docking bay, and Alejandro joins the crew. Finally, the jump track advances. This concludes Apollo's turn. Kat, who is still on the Resurrection Ship, has opted to draw 1 Green. Kat, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

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

You guys are having too easy a time of it.

I move to Caprica and toss a little something at Tory.

Look out! There's a Bomb on Colonial One!
