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.

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.

Before you jump anywhere, I have COs from Apollo: he takes advantage of Adama's Treachery discard to play a Sabotage-3. Galactica takes damage! I'm afraid we'll have to wait a while before we find out what gets hit. Dee, hold off on posting your orders until we know what's still up and running.
BSG (Leoben)
Wow, this has been very exciting!
BSG (Cally)
You know, one of these days there'll be a TI that actually makes a positive contribution to a skill check.
Oof. Well, at least it didn't fail us. And we cleared two of the three Treachery cards now (and both 3-value, damn).
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
Damn, boy, if I'd know you were going to pass the check all on your own, I would have held back a little.
The reserve Cylon fleet jumps in!
DAMMIT.
I have COs from Adama to use his OPG.
Ahahahaha brilliant.
now let's jump the frak out of here
Yes, let's!! Leoben, you actually helped us on that check; can you XO Dee??

LORDS OF KOBOL.
Wow, this has been very exciting!
Seriously!
BSG (Adama)
I'm on the edge of my stylish Cagmident throne.
BSG (Leoben)
Yes, let's!! Leoben, you actually helped us on that check; can you XO Dee??
Sure! First I'd have to infiltrate, and acquire an XO to play (I don't draw green) and have it be my turn, but given all that, why not?
BSG (Cally)
I don't even know whose turn is next. Oh man, Dee! Oh God, please don't damage FTL Control.
I'm afraid we'll have to wait a while before we find out what gets hit.
Wait, he doesn't get to choose, right?
