Huh? I'm doing the same thing you did when you threw in Sabotage. Or has Treachery suddenly become non-positive?

Oh, Hell. It's a Reckless check. bt, is it too late to change my play to No Cards?

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

bt, do any Conflicted Loyalties involve Boomer getting out of the Brig?

No, although there is one that involves being in the Brig.

Oh, Hell. It's a Reckless check. bt, is it too late to change my play to No Cards?

It is indeed Reckless. They wouldn't be positive if it weren't Reckless. ...I am generally loath to void bolded orders, however, I'll allow it on this occasion, because it's not actually your turn to play cards yet. Cally plays before you.

Brig (Boomer): 7 YP

Destiny: 2 cards
Six: Consolidate Power 1, God's Plan 2
Anders: Run Interference 3, Maximum Firepower 3
Tory: Launch Scout 1, Launch Scout 1, Sabotage 3
Cally: By Your Command 1
Gaeta: (max 3 cards)
Boomer: (max 1 card)

Running tally: 9 - 6 = 3 + Destiny. Gaeta is next.

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

Might as well play the ByC now, at least, since it's already active.

Man, this is going to be a nailbiter.

(If I don't get out, I am going to wear a shirt that says ANDERS IS A DOUCHEBAG.)

Good point. My REAL NO FOOLING NO TAKEBACKS PLAY is:

By Your Command - 1.

Whew!

Let's add Destiny too.

Brig (Boomer): 7 YP

Destiny: Executive Order 2, Scientific Research 3
Six: Consolidate Power 1, God's Plan 2
Anders: Run Interference 3, Maximum Firepower 3
Tory: Launch Scout 1, Launch Scout 1, Sabotage 3
Cally: By Your Command 1
Gaeta: By Your Command 1
Boomer: Critical Situation 3

Impressive. You put more cards into that than you have for any crisis card.

Tally: 13 - 11 = 2. Fail. Boomer remains brigged. At least you still get your Recon, as you apparently now own THE ONLY RAPTOR LEFT IN THE FLEET THAT NO ONE ELSE IS ALLOWED TO USE AND THEY LET YOU LEAVE THE BRIG AND GO JOYRIDING IN IT EVERY NOW AND THEN.

Now, before we forget, the check was Reckless and included two BYCs. We therefore activate heavy raiders (but not Centurions), moving the heavy raider to Sector 6; we then also activate raiders, which places a new raider in... Sector 6, and advances the pursuit track.

That concludes Boomer's turn. Six has opted to draw 2G/1B. Six, when you're ready, plesae post your move and action.

Apologies, one last piece of business. Boomer, you still have 12 cards in hand. When you're ready, please post two discards.
