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

Everyone passes on interrupts:

Die roll: 8. Pass! The news that Roslin has been making goo-goo eyes at Adama has set the hearts of the fleet a-flutter. They knew that Galactica was crying out for a BEAUTIFUL LOVE STORY, they just didn't know who it should be. The Chief's crisis card is:

Unidentified Ship
Skill Check (10 PR)

Possible interrupts: IC, SR, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Roslin)

I pass, and can't help, obviously.

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

BSG (Chief)

I can't help at all on this check, but let me convene an IC-3 to keep possibly Cylon Apollo from pulling any shenanigans.

I'm not sure what to say about Adama. That early jump still seems shady. But if Roslin trusts him...

BSG (Apollo)

No need to worry about me, Chief. I couldn't shenaniganize this check if I wanted to, and I don't, still being human and all. Roslin's looking a little squirrely herself, if you ask me - OPG so early and moving both those civvies into harm's way? Harrumph.

Anyway, crisis. I play PF-0, EM-1, EM-2

Hey, wait, you're right! Why would she move them AWAY from protection? Unless they're both decoys, but that seems unlikely. If she's squirrely, then it's possible Adama's squirrely too, which we already thought. Curiouser and curiouser. Now I'm not sure what to think.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Roslin)

I moved one away from protection, and one toward protection, I just couldn't get it all the way there.

BSG (Apollo)

Oh, you ran out of cards so no more activating Comms, right? Pesky weakness.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Roslin)

Right, exactly, and it took tossing some potentially super helpful cards to get even that done. That weakness really is debilitating sometimes.

But I did the best I could, and now we have the info about the Admiral (so yeah, sorry for grabbing the Presidency back from you that time, sir, seems like the kiddo's doing ok with it, though.)

BSG (Apollo)

Well, the raiders won't fire immediately, right, just jump in? So I might be able to heroically rescue everybody (you are suggesting we go ahead and leave Civvie C to their fate, Laura, yes?) on my turn.
