Let's wrap this up. The play:
The Farm:
15 PB
Destiny:
2 cards
Apollo:
1 card
Cally:
0 cards
Roslin:
1 card
Adama:
0 cards
Chief:
1 card
Cards played:
Calculations 3
Red Tape 0
Investigative Committee 3
Investigative Committee 3
Declare Emergency 4
Tally: 3 - 10 = 7. Epic Fail.
Food and Population both fall by 1. (What the hell kind of farm is this?) Players may no longer use their OPGs! No Command Authority for Adama, no CAG action for Apollo, and no face-shooting for Cally. Woes!
That concludes Chief's turn of moustache-twirling. Apollo is up next. Apollo, what would you like for your variable draw?

BSG (Roslin)
Uhh, I know you can't answer this, but what the heck did you play, Apollo? I know Chief spiked, and apparently Destiny was against us (still!) but it looks like you were too!
BSG (Apollo)
I played a long shot that didn't pay off. Kind of a "I have to do something, this is something (barely)" move.
I think I'll draw 2 green, see how that works out.
BSG
Cards sent. Apollo, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
BSG (Apollo)
Well. I suspect trying to break me out would be futile. Anyone disagree?
There's too much uncertainty for me to XO Cally right now, so Roslin, CAGmiral, do either of you have good stuff you could do?
BSG (Adama)
I have no cards so but I could activate something.
I'm not playing Assassins Creed, I'm studying for Med School: [link]
BSG (Apollo)
Hm. Well, there's nothing to shoot at, no civvies to communicate with, we can't jump, no one needs brigging (that we know of) and none of you can fly vipers (except via Command, where Cally is, but that's a dangerous X to O). So that leaves the Research Lab. Which might not be a bad idea, considering your hand, but you'd have to move there, and move again to do anything else.
Or I could be Presidential and see if the Quorum can do anything useful, which has some appeal.
Roslin? Cally, I can't XO you since you're up next, but do you have an opinion on what we should do with my turn, limited as our options are?
