You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I was pretty rapt. It was against an AI, so not so much a contest of wills as solving a puzzle. Nonetheless, pretty nifty solution.

Ok, now I have COs for it; CAGmident Adama plays a Declare Emergency 3. Dee walks free! Xomething else for which I don't have COs; Dee, where would you like to move to?
While Dee decides that, I'm sorry to report that some of Dee's former associates have taken to making snide comments behind her back, now that she's been in stir. Dee's crisis card is:
Loss of a Friend
Skill Check (9 YG)
Possible interrupts: IC, SR, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Baltar plays first, Dee last.

BSG
Ok, everything's now sorted out.
Loss of a Friend:
9 YG
Destiny:
2 cards
Baltar:
1 card
Cally:
2 cards
Leoben:
1 card
Apollo:
0 cards
Adama:
1 card
Dee:
2 cards
Cards played:
Consolidate Power 1
Iron Will 0
Major Victory 2
Declare Emergency 4
At Any Cost 5
Trust Instincts 0
Guts and Initiative 1
Repair 2
Scientific Research 4
Tally: 12 - 7 = 5. Fail. Although the check fails, it has no effect thanks to the Iron Will. Or at least that would be the case; but the Trust Instincts now kicks in, and adds two more cards from Destiny:
Repair 1
Calculations 4
Tally: 12 - 12 = 0. Epic Fail! Morale falls by 1, and Dee has to discard two cards. She discards:
Red Tape 0
Red Tape 0
And now the Iron Will kicks in, not to save you but to put the boot in. Morale falls by an additional point and is now at 3!
Finally, the basestar launches a heavy raider, and the jump track advances. Small mercies. That concludes Dee's turn. Baltar starts his turn on the Resurrection Ship and may draw only one card. He has opted to draw Blue. BALTRON, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
