BSG (Apollo)
Huzzah for the surviving raptor (I forget what we call that first raptor, but I'm glad she's still with us!)
There are definitely worse crises lurking out there. We'll keep this one on top.
Sorry I couldn't get you out of sickbay, Cally, May the gods smile upon your return to health.
BSG (Chief)
I hope it activates Raiders and has no jump icon!! I'll bet that's totally the sort of Crisis you would pick.
BSG (Apollo)
Susan! Susan lives!
Silly Chiefbot.
BSG
Apollo keeps the crisis on top. As he is in the Brig, however, it won't be played this turn. That concludes Apollo's turn. As Cally starts her turn in Sickbay, she draws only one card. She has opted to draw Blue. Cally, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

BSG (Cally)
I will move to FTL Control and Play R-2 to repair it.
BSG
FTL Control is repaired. You're not leaving so soon, are you? Yes you are, as this crisis has a jump icon! Cally's crisis card is:
Elections Loom
Skill Check (8 YG)
Possible interrupts: IC, SR, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Roslin plays first, Cally last.
BSG (Cally)
Pass on interrupts. I can help. I think.
BSG (Apollo)
I may be in the Brig but I am somehow still the President, so when I say form a committee, a committee franking well forms! IC-3 interrupt
BSG
Thanks to Apollo's franking committtee, all cards (except Destiny) are played face up. Everyone else passes on interrupts; the check begins. Administrative note: Destiny's play into the check reduced it to 6 cards. I've replenished it and reshuffled the discards.
I have everyone's play:
Elections Loom:
8 YG
Destiny:
2 cards
Roslin:
Executive Order 2
Adama:
Executive Order 2, Declare Emergency 3
Chief:
Evasive Manoeuvre 2
Apollo:
0 cards
Cally:
Major Victory 2, Trust Instincts 0
Destiny adds:
Investigative Committee 4
Run Interference 5
Tally: 13 - 7 = 6. Partial pass!
However Cally may now use her Quick Fix, which she does to remove the Run Interference 5.
Tally = 11. Pass!
But we're still not done, as now the TI-0 triggers, adding two more cards from the newly replenished destiny deck. It adds:
Consolidate Power 2
Establish Network 0
Final tally: 13. Pass! The crew successfully navigates the coming elections.
Next, the Cylon activation moves the heavy raider from Sector 1 to Sector 6. ...With 18 raiders on board, that seems somewhat anticlimactic. But no matter, because finally, the fleet jumps! Destinations are going to the Admiral. Admiral Adama, when you're ready, please post your choice.
