I have interrupt COs.
Ellen plays an Investigative Committee 4. Boomer plays a Guts and Initiative 2.
Destiny will not play into this check (unless someone plays a Trust Instincts), and all cards will be played face up. The check begins. I have several COs:
Reunite the Fleet:
10 YG
Destiny:
2 cards
Ellen:
Consolidate Power 1, Preventative Policy 4
Cally:
0 cards
Gaeta:
(max 3 cards)
Boomer:
(COs received)
Six:
(COs received)
Anders:
(COs received)
Tally: 5 - 0 = 5. Fail.
Gaeta is up next.
BSG (Boomer)
I
play 0 cards.
I reeeeally hope Six has a 2 and not a 1, or this will be very bad.
BSG
It's nice to have hopes. The final play is:
Reunite the Fleet:
10 YG
Destiny:
2 cards
Ellen:
Consolidate Power 1, Preventative Policy 4
Cally:
0 cards
Gaeta:
Investigative Committee 3
Boomer:
0 cards
Six:
Major Victory 1
Anders:
Iron Will 0
Tally: 9 - 0 = 9. Fail!
However, the tally is within 4 of the pass level, which means Anders' Iron Will prevents the fail effect from taking place. No effect!
Next, the raiders in Sector 4 open fire:
Raider 1: 1. Miss.
Raider 2: 3. Miss.
Oh, right, these are the raiders from Sector 1. The journey hasn't improved their aim.
That concludes Anders' turn. Ellen's cards are going out. President Tigh, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

FRAKKING HELL. Thanks for the save, Anders, but FRAKKING HELL.
Ellen, I should be able to take out those Raiders with an XO.
BSG (Ellen)
Well, that could have been worse.
Cally, honey, we do not get enough girl time! I
move to Command, adroitly give Cally a card, and draw 2Y.
Continuing my general feeling of grrl power I
XO-1 Boomer.
BSG
Boomer, you have received an XO. You may either move and take an action, or not move and take two actions. When you're ready, please post your orders.
BSG (This Is My BOOMSTICK!)
I
play MF-4
and
UNLEASH MY FURY!
BSG
Fury: unleashed.
Fire 1: 5. Hit!
Fire 2: 7. Hit!
Fire 3: 8. Hit!
And the lesson, boys and girls, is that it pays to have your name in the opening credits.
You have one more action. When you're ready, please post your orders.
