ACK! Okay, I gotta admit, I had no idea! Man, and to think I'd suspected the Admiral. I coulda checked the Chief!
I could help a little with the check, but what with all the random discards and everything, yikes. Anyway, yeah, with treachery maybe, but that comes with some risks, yes?
BSG (Apollo)
Remember that time when you decided not kill Chief? Hindsight's a bitch.
It does come with some risks. But I think we can handle them. I choose
Option 1
and
play AAC-5.
Let's increase our Population!
BSG (Roslin)
YEAH, WTF?
The moral of this story is to always kill people when you get a chance.
Except for when you kill your only pilot in the first round and then they come back as a toaster.
BSG
Apollo chooses the skill check and plays an AAC-5. The check is Reckless, but all Treachery counts positive!
Remaining possible interrupts: IC, SR. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Cally plays first, Apollo last. However, Cally has only one card, so she can't play due to her weakness. Roslin effectively will play first instead.
BSG
I'm at a seminar all day, so can't post the usual bits and pieces. However, everyone passes on interrupts. Plays to date:

Cally: 0 cards

Apollo:
Apollo is last to play.
BSG
Let's lay it all out:
Reunite the Fleet:
10 YG
Destiny:
2 cards
Cally:
0 cards
Roslin:
2 cards
Adama:
2 cards
Chief:
1 card
Apollo:
2 cards
Cards played:
Investigative Committee 3
Iron Will 0
Declare Emergency 3
By Your Command 1
Broadcast Location 1
Broadcast Location 1
God's Plan 2
Sabotage 3
Scientific Research 4
Tally: 14 - 4 = 10. Pass!
The fleet is reunited, via an underhanded program of subterfuge and deceit. Population increases by 1!
However, the Cylons are quick to take advantage of human perfidy. Both the By Your Command and the Broadcast Location(s) take effect; as current player, Apollo decides the order. He has opted to resolve Broadcast Location first. A basestar appears in Galactica's path; a new civilian ship pops into its wake.
By Your Command is next, activating raiders and heavy raiders. With none on the board, two new raiders and a heavy raider launch from the basestar.
Finally, the crisis card's raider activation moves the two raiders to Sector 2. That concludes Apollo's turn. Cally's cards are going out. Cally, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
