I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

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

BSG (Cally)

How many cards can we play while we're in sickbay?.. aw it doesn't matter- I only have one positive card and due to my weakness I can't play just one.

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

BSG

There are no location-specific limits on what you can play frm Sickbay. (You of course are limited to playing 0 or 2+ cards, due to your weakness.) However, if you are in Sickbay at the start of your turn, then you may draw only one card instead of the usual five.

oh wait! I have an interrupt... but it's reckless. Is everyone OK with a reckless interrupt at this stage of the game? Is it OK for me to ask this?

Yeah go for it.

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

BSG (Apollo)

Throw caution to the wind!

It is immediately relevant, so it's ok to ask. It would in fact be ok to state which interrupt you have.

If I'm reading Cally's COs correctly, she plays a Jury Rigged 2. The check DC is now 8. Everyone else passes on interrupts; the check begins!

An Offer of Peace: 12 8 YG(1)

Destiny: 2 cards
Chief: 0 cards
Apollo: 1 card
Cally: (0 or 2+ cards)
Roslin: (COs received)
Adama: (COs received)

Cally is up next. (Note: I assume the JR-2 doesn't change anyone's COs. If it does, let me know.)

Nope, my CO's stand.

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

BSG (Chief)

I really, really, really hope Destiny plays By Your Command.

Here we go. The play:

An Offer of Peace: 12 8 YG(1)

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

Cards played:

Preventative Policy 5
Executive Order 2
Declare Emergency 3
At Any Cost 5
Evasive Manoeuvre 1
Launch Scout 2

Tally: 16 - 2 = 14. Pass! Cylon treachery is forestalled. Well, almost forestalled, as the basestars each launch another three raiders. There are now eighteen raiders on the board.

That concludes Adama's turn. Chiefbot has opted to draw 1 Red and 1 Treachery for his draw. Cards are going out now.
