Skulls? Come in Skulls, your last transmission cut off. Skulls? Hotdog? SKULLS!
People of the Fleet, the good news is, we've reached a Remote Planet at a cost of half the expected Fuel. The bad news is, we've picked up a crashed Raptor on the surface. Memorial services for Skulls and Hotdog will be at eight bells tomorrow.
BSG
The fleet jumps! You have now reached 6 Distance. Naturally, the President is taking all the credit. She's even started telling people she's some kind of Messiah figure. Tory's crisis is:
Fulfiller of Prophecy
Current Player's Choice
Due to Tory's weakness, she takes Option 1. Possible interrupts: IC, SR, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play.
BSG(President Messiah, I like the sound of that)
What does every prophecy need? An Investigative Committee! An IC-3, in fact.
Also some Guts and Initative-1
I can help a lot on this check, but if y'all can chip in a little it would be good.
BSG
Tory plays an Investigative Committee 3 and a Guts and Initiative 1. This check will be completely open (unless someone tosses in a TI-0). Everyone else passes on interrupts. The check begins!

Okay, this is a bit of a funky play, so let me 'splain.
I play SD2 and XO2 into the check. That's a net zero, and normally it would be bad to be handing out treachery, but since I can make it good, I think it's good usage of the resources I have available.

Notes concerning the play so far. As this check is Reckless, the BL-1 and SD-2 will both trigger, moving a basestar and civvie onto the main board and giving everyone a new Treachery card. The IW-0 means that if, after Tory's play, the tally is 6, Tory gets a new Yellow card. If it is between 2 and 5 (inclusive), the check has no effect. If the tally is 1, you lose 1 Population. If 0 or less, lose 1 Pop and 1 Morale.
Tory is last to play.
