I'll put up a token once I'm no longer in transit, but everyone passes on interrupts, and we can start the check. Baltar has no cards, so Cally plays first (0 or 2+ cards).
Administrative note: Destiny's play reduced the destiny deck to 6 cards. I've replenished and reshuffled it.

Don't worry? Not last long enough? Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no! And it ain't over now! Cause when the going gets tough... The tough get goin'! Where's the spirit? This isn't the Gallactica I used to know. Now c'mon! Let's get those Cylons! Apollo, he's a dead "man"! Loeban, he's a dead "man"! Now? Who is with me!?!?!

I play 0 cards.
BSG (Baltar)
I wish I could help with this.

Leoben plays one card. Apollo is up next.

Here's the token:
Terrorist Investigations:
12(6) YG
Destiny:
2 cards
Baltar:
0 cards
Cally:
0 cards
Leoben:
1 card
Apollo:
Adama:
Dee:
(COs received)
I know I'm always wrong about these, but has Apollo ever been human besides the time he was unceremoniously killed in the first round (and replaced by Starbot)?

He has! In games 3, 9 and 13. Interesting trivia: the humans won each of those three games. The Cylons have won every game in which he was a Cylon (excepting the current game, of course, on which the jury's still out). I would need to check further, but I think that makes him easily the most successful character on the Phoenix board. (On boardgamegeek, his performance is much closer to average.)

And ain't it great?
I play 0 cards.
BSG
Everyone's play:
Terrorist Investigations:
12(6) YG
Destiny:
2 cards
Baltar:
0 cards
Cally:
0 cards
Leoben:
1 card
Apollo:
0 cards
Adama:
2 cards
Dee:
1 card
Cards played:
Preventative Policy 3
Major Victory 2
Executive Order 2
Declare Emergency 3
Trust Instincts 0
Repair 1
Tally: 10 - 1 = 9. Partial Pass! However, the Trust Instincts now kicks in, and adds the top two cards from Destiny:
Broadcast Location 1
By Your Command 1
Just as well this check wasn't Reckless. The tally falls by 2 to 7, which is still a partial pass. No effect!
Next, there's a heavy raider activation, and two new vessels launch from the basestars. Alas, Magnus Greel does not advance, having been taken out by a Callytrap. Finally, the jump track advances. That concludes Dee's turn. Baltar's cards are going out. President Baltar, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
