Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

OK, I will Move to Research Lab (to be XO-d to troll for Repairs) and Launch Nuke into Sector 1!

Sadly, my only plan is:attack. Anyone else?

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

BSG

Fireworks! Make it go boom! Wheee!!

Oh, sure, you weren't this supportive when the basestar was shooting at Galactica! There are Sixes on that basestar! They're just like you, only sexier! Won't anyone think of the sexy people?

Boomer has left COs to play an SP-3. Sadly, she doesn't have one, so I don't know what she was talking about So that's ok then.

Die roll: 5 + 2 = 7. Basesetar and three raiders destroyed!

Word gets out that the Admiral has it in for the sexy people. After what happened to Six, it all seems too plausible. It swiftly turns into a

Witch Hunt
Skill Check (10 YG)

Possible interrupts: IC, SR, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play.

Woes, the loss of sexiness. Guess you'd all better not rub up against me, then, for fear it might rub off on you.

I can help a little on this check.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

BSG (Tory)

Yay, boom! I can help with the check.

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

BSG (Anders)

Look at all the pretty lights in the sky!

I can help with the check.

Here's the full play.

Witch Hunt: 10 YG

Destiny: 2 cards
Boomer: 0 cards
Six: 1 card
Anders: 1 card
Tory: 2 cards
Cally: 1 card
Gaeta: 1 card

Consolidate Power 1
Consolidate Power 2
Investigative Committee 5
Executive Order 2
State of Emergency 6
Strategic Planning 5
Full Throttle 1
Broadcast Location 1

Tally: 16 - 7 = 9. Partial Pass! However, I have COs from Anders: play Declare Emergency 3. The sexy people are saved! The check has no effect.

Finally, the heavy raider (which survived the carnage in Sector 1) moves to Sector 6, and the jump track advances. That concludes Gaeta's turn. Boomer's cards are going out. Boomer, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
