Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

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

BSG

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.

Administrative note: the Special Destiny draw has exhausted the Treachery deck. I've reshuffled the discards.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (6)

I know, Tory, I'm sorry! I'm in a weird place because I've got stuff in my hand that could be useful, but I'm trying to figure it all out. It's possible I'm spending too much time in other peoples' heads, off camera, I'm not sure. I will try and get it together!

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

BSG (Boom Boom We're Dead)

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've got to be kidding me.

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

BSG ( Tory)

Argh! I'm sorry, Felix, I thought the odds against that happening made it an ok gamble, as opposed to destroying Pegasus.

Bah.

You've got to be kidding me.

I counted up four Galactica damage tokens that could be really funny especially damaging. FTL and Hangar Deck would send someone to Sickbay. Food has been at risk the whole game. The crown jewel, of course, would be the Fuel token.

But FTL is good too.

(PS: that was a very eventful turn, with a jump and multiple card-based effects and such. Anyone who wants to check through the end-of-turn summary to see if it all makes sense, feel free.)

Orders from Cally: she moves to the Cylon Fleet and launches new ships. Two raiders and a heavy raider appear in Sector 1.

That concludes Cally's turn. Gaeta starts his turn in Sickbay, so he draws just one card. He has opted to draw Green. Admiral Gaeta, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
