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

BSG

That is a high number. At least it hits a lot of the colors.

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.

BSG

Kat has left COs for her turn.

Move: Play God's Plan-2 on the Destiny Deck.
Action: Activate Occupation Authority.

Gunnhilde weaks her vengeance on civvie D! There is a 2 in 9 chance that this loss will win the game for the Cylons. It contains:

Civvie D: 1 Population

Population falls by 1. Moments later, a new Centurion, Balthazar, joins its fellows at the Occupation Authority. All Occupation Forces are now on the board.

That concludes Kat's turn. Adama's cards are going out. Admiral Adama, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

OK, this is about to get VERY IMPORTANT, so I want to clarify:

It says we can take an action to evac a ship, then move to any location on Galactica if we do. Does that include the first action of an XO? If I XO Tory, can she use her first action to evac, then move to say, Comms, and activate it with her second action?
