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

I thought the big green guy says, "SMASH EVERYTHING!!!"

Ooooh, my Adama-sense says we're going to regret this......

I hope so!

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

Bombs away!

Nuke 1 (Sector 2): 7 + 2 = 9. All ships destroyed!
Nuke 2 (Sector 3): 1 + 2 = 3. Basestar destroyed!

The skies just became a lot clearer, making room for Galactica to hurtle towards earth! (Well, New Caprica.) Apollo's crisis is:

Intra-Atmos Entry
Skill Check (15 GPRB)

Note: this check threatens Fuel. If the check fails, the humans lose! Possible interrupts: IC, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play.

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

BSG (President)

That is a high number. At least it hits a lot of the colors. Sad to say, many of which, I have no cards in. I can help a little. We *NEED* to pass this!

Oh, eta, Great shooting!

True; however, note that this check has a partial pass too. As long as you reach 9, you avoid the Fuel loss.

Meanwhile, everyone passes on interrupts. The check begins:

Intra-Atmos Entry: 15 GPRB

Destiny: 2 cards
Kat: (max 1 card)
Adama:
Tory: (COs received)
Gaeta: (max 1 card)
Apollo:

Kat plays first.

Administrative note: this check reduced Destiny to 6 cards. I've replenished and reshuffled it.

BSG

Everyone's play is in:

Intra-Atmos Entry: 15 GPRB

Destiny: 2 cards
Kat: 0 cards
Adama: 2 cards
Tory: 2 cards
Gaeta: 0 cards
Apollo: 3 cards

Cards played:

Executive Order 2
Declare Emergency 3
Launch Scout 1
Protect the Fleet 0
Evasive Manoeuvre 1
Run Interference 4
Best of the Best 6
Consolidate Power 2
Support the People 2

Tally: 17 - 4 = 13. Partial Pass! At this level, the crisis has no effect, and the crew lives to see another day. However, the check is also within 2 points of a full pass, which means that a Declare Emergency may be used to reach a full pass. Would anyone like to play one?

No one plays a DE; the check remains at a partial pass for no effect.

There are a few more things to take care of in this turn. First, the PtF-0 in the check takes effect, as there were more than 3 points of Piloting strength. Apollo has ordered one of the RSVs from Sector 5 to Sector 6.

Next, now that Galactica has returned, the heavy raider activation has an effect. Galactica's boarding party (remember him) takes his first teetering steps.

Finally, the jump/evac icon takes effct, and the top prepped civvie launches into space! Apollo places said civvie in Sector 6.

That concludes Apollo's turn. Kat has opted to draw 1R/1T. Cards being sent.
