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

BSG

Apollo, you get a bonus action. What would you like to do?

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

BSG (Apollo)

Oh, sweet! I'll escort Civilian A home.

For the second turn in a row, Apollo escorts civvie A off the board. How is such a thing possible? The fleet suspects black magic. Adama's crisis card is:

Witch Hunt
Skill Check (10 YG)

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

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Roslin)

No interrupts.

Can you guys get this one? I can help if need be, but I've been struggling with cards so much this whole game, I won't if you can handle it.

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

BSG (Cally)

Of course I chose to draw two purple during the State of Emergency because I thought purple was commonly seen in skill checks and now I can't help at all.

pass on interrupts

...but wait! I just read the email reminder from GM that this is Adama's turn. I can help a lot!

Destiny: 2 cards
Chief: 1 card
Apollo: 0 cards
Cally: 2 cards

Adama: 2 cards

Cards played:

Major Victory 2

Tally: 16 - 6 = 10. Exact pass! That's the second turn in a row you've managed that. The witch hunt has no effect.

Finally, the heavy raider advances to Sector 6, and the jump track advances. That concludes Adama's turn. Chiefbot has opted to draw 1 Red. Chief, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
