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

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Wow I have enjoyed the hell out of watching ACIII. Still haven't picked up the controller on any of them, probably too afraid I'll be hooked.
Yeah, I wouldn't know anything about that. :: whistles innocently ::

Everyone's play is in.

Hera Rescued: 10 YG(B)

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

Cards played:

Consolidate Power 2
Executive Order 1
Executive Order 1
Executive Order 1
Establish Network 0
Calculations 5
Special Destiny 2

Establish Network doubles the value of all Blue cards, which thanks to Cally's SR-3, means a total Blue contribution of +10. In addition, Cally uses her Quick Fix ability to remove the SD-2 from the check.

Tally: 15 - 0 = 15. Pass! The toddler has been secured. Repeat, the toddler has been secured.

Next up is: ooh, more raider fun. The six raiders fire on the battlestars again:

Raider 1: 1. Miss.
Raider 2: 8. Hit!
Raider 3: 3. Miss.
Raider 4: 1. Miss.
Raider 5: 8. Hit!
Raider 6: 6. Miss.

Two hits! Do I have COs? ...No, I don't. It's current player's choice. Cally, how would you like to assign the hits?

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

BSG (Chief)

GOOD JOB RAIDERS!

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

BSG (Cally)

Put on your dodging shoes, Admiral. Pegasus can take the hits.

Ahahaha, well, at least one of you is ending up in Sickbay. This is great. Raiders, target the Airlock and CIC!

Huh. Well, the Airlock was already damaged, but if the Cylons want to target it, I suppose I can throw it back into the mix. The raiders hit:

Engine Room
Main Batteries

Cally goes to Sickbay; Adama emerges unscathed! Finally, the jump track advances. That concludes Cally's turn. Roslin's cards are going out.

Roslin's turn will move quickly. I have COs from her:

Move: None (well, duh)
Action: Discard Red Tape 0 and Support the People 1 to activate the Brig.

It's a 7 YP check. Any interrupts? Why, yes. Yes there are. Roslin plays Political Prowess 6. The check passes automatically! Roslin is free, and moves to Communications.

Now that she's out of stir, she gets crisis cards again; which is to say, she gets her visions again. Religious Visions are going out. Ms Roslin, when you're ready, please post your choice.

Aw, man, that's CHEATING.

But at least Cally got hurt. This is what you get for waving that gun around all the time; it makes you an easy target.
