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?
BSG (Chief)
GOOD JOB RAIDERS!
BSG (Cally)
Put on your dodging shoes, Admiral.
Pegasus
can take the hits.
BSG (Chief)
Ahahaha, well, at least one of you is ending up in Sickbay. This is great. Raiders, target the Airlock and CIC!
BSG
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.
BSG (Chief)
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.
BSG (Cally)
harrumph
but also Yay Roslin's free!
BSG
Roslin has made her choice, and she has some concerns to raise with the Admiral. Apparently she has it on good authority that there's just been a jailbreak on Galactica. Some prisoner, not important who it was, was able to pull some political strings and just walk straight out scot free! Isn't that worrying? Maybe you should have someone look into things. Roslin's crisis card is:
Appoint Head of Security
Admiral's Choice
Admiral Adama, when you're ready, please post your choice.
