I have passes from everyone.
Die roll: 8. Basestar damaged twice!
The damage is:
Structural Damage
Critical Hit! Basestar destroyed!
Adama's crisis hardly seems fitting after that commanding display of Adamatude, so I'm going to assume they're just looking for some good material for the upcoming biopic. Will Adama let his celebrity status go to his head and neglect his duties? Adama's crisis card is:
Review Galactica's Log
Skill Check (14 YGP1)
Possible interrupts: IC, SR, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play.
BSG (Chief)
DAMMIT HYBRID HOW COULD YOU NOT SEE THAT YOU ARE FIRED.
Don't bother. She will just resurrect in another ship.
BSG (Cally)
Wow that's a big one. I can help.
BSG (Apollo)
I am not completely positive that I know what cards I have right now, but I think I can help a little.
Also, good shooting, Admiral!
BSG (Roslin)
Hmm, okay, I
interrupt with GI-1.
Let's put this in our own hands.
BSG (Cally)
Ooops I was looking at my hand very wrong. I can still help, but only a little.
Would it be better if the check were Jury Rigged rather than than done with Guts and Initiative?
I offer my JR-1 as an interrupt but we can only have one or the other.
BSG
There is a limit of one Reckless interrupt on a skill check. As current player, Adama chooses which interrupt to accept. Admiral Adama, when you're ready, please post your choice.
BSG
The check goes Gutless! Administrative note: Destiny's play into this check has reduced it to six cards. I've replenished and reshuffled it. Doing so exhausted the Politics and Engineering decks. I've reshuffled the discards. (Destiny plays after interrupts, so the JR-1 was reshuffled into the deck too.)
Everyone else passes on interrupts. The check begins! And ends, as I have COs from everyone, which is awesome.

Tally: 19 - 0 = 19. Pass!
Adama's natural grumpiness shields him from the siren call of fame. Just as well; as the check was Reckless, the Broadcast Location triggers. A new basestar replaces the one Adama just destroyed; a civvie appears in Sector 4. That new civvie gives the raiders something to do other than making futile pew-pew noises; they move to Sector 2.
And immediately return to the CFB, as the fleet jumps! Destinations have been sent to the Admiral, and Adama has made his choice. The fleet arrives at a
Gas Giant.
Distance increases to 3.
Adama chooses to
sacrifice a Mk II viper; Fuel increases by 1.
That concludes Adama's turn. Chiefbot has opted to draw 1 Red and 1 Blue. Chief, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
