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

I have the rest of Tory's orders. With an announcement of "Executive privilege, bitches, I haz it!", she plays Accept Prophecy. This card allows her to draw 1 skill card of any colour. Her Adaptable ability lets her draw another two. She has opted to draw 3 Purple.

For her second action, she has activated the President's Office again, and drawn another two Quorum cards. The Quorum's been coming up with some interesting ideas to deal with the Cylons. "Why don't we, you know... Kill them all?" Why indeed? Tory's crisis card is:

Cylon Genocide
Current Player's Choice

Due to Tory's weakness, she chooses option 1, so you will be going for the skill check. Possible interrupts: IC, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play.

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

BSG (Boomer)

Um, I can't help at all on this check, which comes at a very inconvenient time.

Maybe tank? Although putting all those ships on the Fleet board wouldn't be good either.

Does anyone think we can pass this? I'm considering using my OPG, although it would have been more fun if passing actually did something.

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

BSG (Anders)

Pass on interrupts.

I can help a little but I don't think we can pass the check.

Admninistrative note: Tory's draw from her Quorum card play exhausted the Tactics deck. I've reshuffled the discards.

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

BSG (Tory)

Yeah, that's a high pass threshold. I could only help a little, I'd be surprised if we pulled it off.

And we already have too many ships in the Fleet as it is, and I don't look forward to when they jump in.

I use my OPG to force a Pass.

Aww. My toys. Boomer uses her OPG; the check passes. All Cylon ships on the main board are destroyed! That affects... None of them. Right then.

Oh well; there's still the raider activation, which places a new raider in... Sector 4. Finally, the pursuit and jump tracks both advance. That concludes Tory's turn. Cally has opted to draw Red and Treachery. Callandroid, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Thrive to spite them

BSG (Cally)

darn Boomer's OPG!

I'm going to try and see if I can cause more mayhem. I'll move to the Basestar and roll to try and move the pursuit track and have the CAG place a civilian on the board.

BSG

Cally has activated the Basestar Bridge, which lets her pick two of four possible effects. She has chosen the following:

1. Roll a die. If 3 or less, reduce the jump track by 1. If 4 or more increase the pursuit track by 1.
2. Have the CAG (Anders) place another civilian ship on the board.

Note: if the die roll advances the pursuit track, Anders will need to place two civilian ships, and then place a third one.

The initial die roll may be modified by an SP, which makes it more likely that the pursuit track will advance, and less likely that the jump track will be set back. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for Calculations, which could potentially be used to change the die roll in either direction.

Meanwhile, Anders, please send me COs for where you place the new civvie(s) - one new civvie if the die roll hits the jump track, three new civvies if it hits the pursuit track. Each civvie must go in a space without other civvies.
