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

BSG

I now have everyone's play.

An Offer of Peace: 12 YG(B)

Destiny: 2 cards
Adama: 0 cards
Dee: 1 card
Baltar: 1 card
Cally: 2 cards
Leoben: 0 cards
Apollo: 1 card

Cards played:

Support the People 2
Executive Order 1
Jury Rigged 2
Scientific Research 3
Scientific Research 5
Launch Scout 1
Special Destiny 2

Tally: 13 - 3 = 10. Partial pass! The check is in range of a DE, but everyone passes on playing one. You've saved the Morale... through science! But two Treachery cards are shuffled into the destiny deck.

Finally, three new raiders launch from the basestar. That concludes Apollo's turn. Adama's cards are going out. Admiral Adama, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

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

BSG (Cally)

Ergh, so close!

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

BSG (Leoben)

With an At Any Cost in play, you'd have made it.

Yeah, but then we'd all have Treachery.

BSG (Leoben)

But Destiny wouldn't have the extra Treachery that it now does. Would that be a better outcome? I don't know. But it would have been amusing

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

BSG (Adama)

I will move to command and play XO-1 on Cally

Fire away!

I fire on the basestar WILDLY WITH NO PLAN.

And then I DO IT AGAIN.

Cally fires on the basestar. The rolls may be modified by an SP. ...As the Admiral knows very well, and he plays an SP-3 on the first roll. Everyone passes on interrupts on the second shot.

Fire 1: 7 + 2 = 9. Hit! ...Disabled Hangar!
Fire 2: 4. Miss.

The basestar's weapons are still hot, but you don't have to worry about it spitting out any more ships. But back on Galactica, it wasn't made to be firing at such an accelerated rate. Galactica is suffering a

Power Failure
Skill Check (14 GPB)

Possible interrupts: IC, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play.
