Three civvies are brought in closer to Galactica for protection. Their pilots, however, are not used to flying in such tight formation, and there is a real risk of mishap. Gaeta's crisis card is:
Hangar Accident
Skill Check (10 PRB)
Possible interrupts: IC, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Boomer plays first, Gaeta last.
BSG (6)
No interrupts.
How do we feel about this check? I kinda feel like this might be a "not try very hard" check. Boomer in jail and the suspected Anders are the ones most likely to draw those relevant colors. If we needed to, I could potentially still help patch up those raiders. I don't know. How does everyone look?
BSG (Tory)
I can only help a little.
Pass on interrupts

(max 2 cards)

BSG
I have a few COs to contribute:
Hangar Accident:
10 PRB
Destiny:
2 cards
Boomer:
1 card
Six:
1 card
Anders:
2 cards
Tory:
2 cards
Cally:
1 card
Gaeta:
(max 3 cards)
Gaeta to finish the check.
BSG
I have everyone's orders.
Hangar Accident:
10 PRB
Destiny:
2 cards
Boomer:
1 card
Six:
1 card
Anders:
2 cards
Tory:
2 cards
Cally:
1 card
Gaeta:
1 card
Cards played:
Launch Scout 1
Evasive Manoeuvre 2
Maximum Firepower 3
Repair 1
Red Tape 0
Political Prowess 6
Executive Order 1
Declare Emergency 3
At Any Cost 5
Sabotage 3
Tally: 7 - 7 = 0. Fail!
The Red Tape awesomely kills off 11 negative points, but it can't add more positive points. Population falls by 1, and the last two vipers in reserves (a pair of Mk IIs) are damaged!
So, I imagine the humans are looking at the board right now, and thinking "We simply do not have enough things to worry about. There should be more things to worry about." (I imagine a lot of things.) Fortunately, the heavy raider activation is here to help. Joffrey moves to step 1 of the boarding party track, while Cersei and Jaime board Galactica right behind him.
Finally, the jump track advances. That concludes Gaeta's turn. Boomer's cards are going out. Boomer, when you're ready, please post your orders.
