I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

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

BSG (CAGident Adamiral)

I will not move and play xo-1 on Dee.

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

BSG (DeeLighted!)

Woot! I feel better Doc! Let me outta here. Heck with discharge papers, there is too much to do, and miles to go before we sleep, and all that.

MOVE: I move to FTL!

ACTION: I play my Blue Repair 1 And fix the FTL drive!!!

Oh hey, who ever repairs next, I think Armory needs some attention before Tobias gets too far along.

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

The Armoury is already repaired. Cally fixed it on her turn (and, inexplicably, I haven't blown it up again yet, even though Cally is RIGHT THERE).

Fixing the FTL seems awfully passive. You're not just planning to turn and run, are you? Wouldn't you rather kill them all?! Adama's crisis card is:

Cylon Genocide
Current Player's choice

CAGmident Adama, when you're ready, please post your choice.

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

BSG (Cally)

All right, I think we should go for this. Destroying all those ships would be fantastic, and I can help a lot. Dee and Adama, how do you feel? Adama, can you bat clean-up after all the Cylons?

BSG (Dee)

That is a tough one. I would love to blow them all up (does it include Cylon space too?). As you can see, I am down to one card. So, my involvement will be minimal. If we fail this, Dee goes bye bye. Not that sendind Adama to the brig is a great idea either. It's just a BIG hurdle to jump, and I can't offer a lot of lift.

BSG (Adama)

Ooh I want to blow up all the shippies. I choose Option 1 and pass on interrupts.

Now if one of us has an IC this would be a very helpful time to play it.

Cally agrees with you, and plays an Investigative Committee 4. All cards will be played openly into this check.

That's it for interrupts. Let's get this genocide on the road!

Cylon Genocide: 21 YGPB(1)

Destiny: 2 cards
Dee:
Baltar: (max 1 card)
Cally: (0 or 2+ cards)
Leoben: (max 1 card)
Apollo: (COs received)
Adama:

Hey, look at all those COs I don't have! Everyone except Dee, you can send me COs if you wish. Dee is up first.

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

I have many plays:

Destiny: 2 cards

Baltar: Special Destiny 2
Cally: Consolidate Power 2, Declare Emergency 3, Trust Instincts 0, Scientific Research 3, Scientific Research 3
Leoben: At Any Cost 4
Apollo: Run Interference 3
Adama:

Running tally: 16 - 5 = 11 + Destiny + Moar Destiny. Adama is last to play.

BSG

Adama goes all in! This has been a prodigious check indeed, with 22 cards played (after adding the cards due to the TI-0). Let's give the full treatment.

Cylon Genocide: 21 YGPB(1)

Destiny: Investigative Committee 3, Human Weakness 3
Dee: Launch Scout 1
Baltar: Special Destiny 2
Cally: Consolidate Power 2, Declare Emergency 3, Trust Instincts 0, Scientific Research 3, Scientific Research 3
Leoben: At Any Cost 4
Apollo: Run Interference 3
Adama: Executive Order 2, Executive Order 2, Major Victory 2, At Any Cost 5, Declare Emergency 5, Launch Scout 1, Launch Scout 1, Launch Scout 1, Launch Scout 2

Cards played:

Consolidate Power 2
Investigative Committee 3
Executive Order 2
Executive Order 2
Major Victory 2
Declare Emergency 3
At Any Cost 4
At Any Cost 5
Declare Emergency 5
Trust Instincts 0
Launch Scout 1
Launch Scout 1
Launch Scout 1
Launch Scout 1
Launch Scout 2
Scientific Research 3
Scientific Research 3
Run Interference 3
Special Destiny 2
Human Weakness 3

Tally: 40 - 8 = 32. Pass! But the TI-0 adds two more cards:

Repair 1
Sabotage 3

Tally: 30. Still pass! You know, one of these days there'll be a TI that actually makes a positive contribution to a skill check. BUT TODAY IS NOT THAT DAY!

With the passing of this check, genocide is a go! The basestar and six raiders currently active on the main board are destroyed. The fleet breathes a sigh of relief! ...That is short-lived, as the raider activation, now with no actual raiders to activate, instead places a raider on the CFB in... Sector 5... and advances the pursuit track by 1 – to the end. The reserve Cylon fleet jumps in!

Finally, the jump track advances. That concludes Adama's turn. Doesn't it? It does not! I have COs from Adama to use his OPG. He picks up the 22 cards of the Cylon Genocide skill check into his hand. CAGmident Adama, your hand seems a touch overstuffed. You must now discard 12 cards, which is just all kinds of awesome. When you're ready, please post your discards.
