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

BSG (Chief)

Look on the bright side, lil' toaster - now they get a crisis card.

Oh, believe me, I know. That's why I didn't try very hard to keep her out. Come on, Crisis Card that hits Morale!

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

BSG

Cally returns to the Hangar Deck. But she's been away for some time, and you know what pranksters those grease monkeys are. Someone's bonded her lunchbox to the floor! Who's responsible? Cally's crisis card is:

Sabotage Investigated
Skill Check (9 PB)

Morale is on the line in this check; if it fails, Cylons win! Possible interrupts: IC, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play.

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

BSG (Apollo)

Hahahahahahaha, those colors are terrible for me! Good luck Cally, Dad.

Pass on interrupts, of course. When do I ever have interrupts?

Almost there. Here's some music to hold you over while we wait. Doo-do-doo-de-doo-doo-de-do-doo, The girl from Ipanema goes walking...

Ok, we're back. Where were we? Oh yes:

Sabotage Investigated: 9 PB

Destiny: 2 cards
Roslin: 4 cards
Adama: 1 card
Chief: 1 card
Apollo: 1 card
Cally: 2 cards

Cards played:

Establish Network 0
Repair 1
Repair 2
Scientific Research 3
Red Tape 0
Consolidate Power 1
Consolidate Power 2
Consolidate Power 2
Iron Will 0
Iron Will 0
State of Emergency 6

Tally: Wait, this gets complicated. We have three different varieties of 0-value cards in this check! Here are their effects:

Establish Network 0: This card doubles the value of all Blue cards in the check. The Blue total was 6, so their contribution is: +12!

Total negatives equal 11, so that doesn't sound good. However, that brings us to the next 0-value:

Red Tape 0: This card eliminates any cards of value 5 or 6. The State of Emergency 6 is removed from the check! Negatives drop to 5:

Tally: 12 - 5 = 7. Fail!

Now we turn to the final 0-value card.

Iron Will 0: If the check fails by 4 or less, then this card nullifies the fail effect. The check fails for a loss of: zero resources!

Sabotage successfully investigated. Cally even got her lunchbox back. Next, the heavy raider activation adds a new heavy raider in... Sector 2. It also advances the pursuit track, which means we need a new civvie. CAGmiral Adama, where would you like to place it? It can go in Sector 4, 5 or 6.

The CAGmiral has spoken. The new civilian ship appears in Sector 6. Finally, the jump track advances. Humans survive to see another turn! Specifically, Roslin's. Roslin starts her turn in Sickbay, so she only draws one card. She has opted to draw Green. Ms Roslin, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
