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

Running tally of 14 + Destiny. Tory to finish.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

The problem with being all caught up is, you have to wait for the results of the checks! UGgg. It's like watching the DVD's of the first 3 seasons of something in one weekend, then having to wait each week for the new episode.

Tally is 19 + Destiny. Take that, terrorists!

Oh, wait. I should be revealing Destiny. Ok, here goes:

Terrorist Bomber: 9 GP

Destiny: State of Emergency 6, Repair 1
Cally: Broadcast Location 1
Gaeta: Launch Scout 2
Boomer: Launch Scout 2, Guts and Initiative 2
Six: Declare Emergency 4
Anders: Strategic Planning 5
Tory: At Any Cost 5

Tally: 26 - 2 = 24. Pass! Since the Sleeper Phase, this crew has faced eleven skill checks. Boomer passed one with her OPG; you've passed three others, with tallies of 23, 21 and 24 respectively. This crew means business! (Then there are the seven you've failed, but hey, nobody's perfect.)

The bomber is apprehended long before he ever reaches the President's Office. No Effect! Well, that's not entirely accurate. This was a Reckless check, and Cally added a BL-1 to the mix, which now triggers. The basestar from Sector 4 of the CFB appears in Sector 1 of the main board, while the CSS Binturong appears on the other side of Galactica.

Next, the heavy raider activation launches a heavy raider from the new basestar, and marches the Lannisters forward another step. Finally, the jump track advances. That concludes Tory's turn. Cally, when you're ready, please post your choice of card draw.

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

I have no idea what to make of Anders anymore.

But I think Cally is about to win the game for Team Cylon, so it doesn't really matter.

Thrive to spite them

BSG (Cally)

I guess I shouldn't have left everyone hanging!

I move to Cylon Fleet and activate the heavy raiders.

I think that should make everyone happy. And by everyone I mean the Cylons.

Cally activates the heavy raiders, and with them the Lannisters. The lead Centurion reaches the end of the boarding party track; Galactica falls! The fleet succumbs to Death by Joffrey!

CYLONS WIN!
