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.

Adding COs:

Fulfiller of Prophecy: 6 YG

Destiny: 0 cards
Cally: Broadcast Location 1
Gaeta: 0 cards
Boomer: 0 cards
Six: Executive Order 2, Special Destiny 2
Anders: Iron Will 0
Tory:

Running Tally: 2 - 3 = -1. Fail.

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.

You know, Tory, I really hope the card you draw is Political Prowess, or I have no idea how I'm getting out of here. Unless Six helps out Treacherously.

Y'all, for future reference, when I say "it would be good if you could help a little" I mean POSITIVE POINTS. Jeez. Is that so much to ask? I'm looking at you in particular, Six.

Final tally is 2, for a fail and No Effect! But that's ok, because this check has enough extracurricular consequences to keep us busy.

1. The SD-2 triggers. Everyone receives a new Treachery card. Cards are going out now.

2. The BL-1 triggers. Civvie A pops into Sector 4. (Note: not necessarily the same Civvie A that was recently removed, though since no one checked it, it doesn't matter.) The basestar in Sector 6 of the CFB jumps into Sector 1 of the main board.

3. The Cylon Activation on this card is basestars. And look, one just jumped in! It opens fire immediately:

Die roll: 7. Hit!

Tory has left COs for it to target Galactica. It hits: FTL Control! Admiral Gaeta, it is the consensus of the medical staff that the President ordered you out of your sickbed too hastily. You'll be glad to know it's still made up and waiting for you.

That concludes Tory's turn. Cally's cards are going out. Callandroid, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
