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

BSG

And received. I have everyone's play:

Bomb on Colonial One: 15 PRB(T)

Destiny: 2 cards
Adama: 0 cards
Dee: 6 cards
Baltar: 1 card
Cally: 4 cards
Leoben: 1 card
Apollo: 1 card

Cards played:

Trust Instincts 0
Launch Scout 1
Launch Scout 1
Launch Scout 2
Launch Scout 2
Strategic Planning 5
Establish Network 0
Repair 2
Repair 2
Scientific Research 3
By Your Command 1
God's Plan 2
Consolidate Power 1
Investigative Committee 3
Political Prowess 6

The EN-0 doubles all Blue cards, adding 7 to the total:
Tally: 28 - 10 = 18. Pass! However, the TI-0 adds another two cards from Destiny:

Sabotage 3
Human Weakness 3

Tally = 24. Pass! The bomb is found and defused... with Science! But we're not done yet. As the check was Reckless, the By Your Command 1 takes effect. (Remarkably, although there were four Treachery cards in the check, this is the only Reckless one.) The raiders advance closer to the civvies; and the heavy raider discharges Tobias Vaughn onto Galactica!

That concludes Apollo's action-packed turn. Adama's cards are going out. CAGmident Adama, when you're ready, pleaes post your move and action.

Administrative note: Adama's card draw exhausted the Leadership deck. I've reshuffled the discards.

Daaaaaaaaaamn, that was a hell of a check. I'm really glad I played that AAC, or the Destiny would have killed us! Let's hope Tobias and the Raiders don't kill us instead, though. And, hey, we got rid of two huge Treachery cards that would have hurt in the next check.

Adama, I suggest you escort D and E home before the Raiders get there.

Still glad I went in heavy. Those last two could have killed us. Maybe the Gods are with us again!

I concur, let's get those civvies to safety!

Not with my AAC they wouldn't have. But I'm glad you went in heavy because I was afraid we might overplay. The Cylons fought hard, though!

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

BSG (Leoben)

That was pretty exciting, but could have used more of a twist at the end.
