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

BSG

Everyone else passes on interrupts. The check begins.

Unidentified Ship: 10 PR

Destiny: 2 cards
Apollo:
Cally:
Roslin: (COs received)
Adama:
Chief: (COs received)

Apollo is up first.

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

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

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

BSG (Chief)

OPG so early and moving both those civvies into harm's way?

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.

BSG

I have everyone's play. Let's add Destiny to the mix:

Unidentified Ship: 10 PR

Destiny: Scientific Research 5, Broadcast Location 1
Apollo: Protect the Fleet 0, Evasive Manoeuvre 1, Evasive Manoeuvre 2
Cally: 0 cards
Roslin: 0 cards
Adama: Launch Scout 1, Launch Scout 2
Chief: 0 cards

Tally: 6 - 6 = 0. Fail. Open hostilities break out between the Rodama shippers and the Starpollo fans! Population falls by 1!

The PtF-0 takes effect, as there are 3 points of Piloting in the check. CAG Apollo, you may activate one viper. When you're ready, please post your orders.

Let's bring another Mark VII into Sector 5 with me.

Apollo is no longer alone. No, really, as the Cylon activation advances the pursuit track to the final step, and the Cylon fleet jumps in!

That concludes Chief's turn. Apollo has opted to draw 1Y/1G for his variable draw. Apollo, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
