I can help with this check.

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

BSG

Everyone else passes on interrupts, and the check begins! We have some COs:

Resistance: 12 YGP

Destiny: 2 cards
Ellen: Declare Emergency 5
Cally: Consolidate Power 1, Launch Scout 1
Gaeta:
Boomer:
Six:
Anders:

Running tally: 7 + Destiny. Gaeta is next.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

BSG (Anders)

I can't help very much. C'mon Destiny, don't frag us.

I can't help much either. But the good news for you, puny humans, is that I'm on your side! she says, batting her ridiculously long eyelashes in a totally convincing way. But if we're in range I may sit this one out entirely so that my one potentially helpful card can be of more use later.

It is a little disappointing that I'm here, but there's no Baltar to get me double imagination screentime. I guess that'll have to happen offstage.

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

Final game. Closest yet. Between first and third was 4 points. With the win, PC. Second, Sean. I was one behind for third. And distant last, ND.

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

It was so close. I won it because Sean didn't keep me from buying a Colony.

BSG (Boomer)

I play SP-4.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Six)

Okay, with Anders' contribution, that should do it, I think, so I pass.

BSG

I have COs from the remaining players:

Resistance: 12 YGP

Destiny: 2 cards
Ellen: Declare Emergency 5
Cally: Consolidate Power 1, Launch Scout 1
Gaeta: Launch Scout 2
Boomer: Strategic Planning 4
Six: 0 cards
Anders: Launch Scout 2

Regrettably, Destiny is against you. It adds:

Evasive Manoeuvre 1
Scientific Research 4

Tally: 15 - 5 = 10. Partial Pass. Everyone passes on playing a DE. At least you saved the Fuel, but Food drops by 1.

Anders' turn ends with a heavy raider launching from the basestar, and the jump track taking its first step. Ellen's cards are going out. President Tigh, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
