BSG
Adama has chosen to
bury the crisis card.
No crisis on his turn then, right? Nah, I think we can find another one. Adama's crisis card is:
Unexplained Deaths
Skill Check (8 GP)
This check has a jump icon; it brings the jump prep into the Blue. Humans can jump for the game after this turn! But first, they need to survive not only Chiefbot's turn, but this crisis, and Morale is once again on the line. If they fail, they lose!
Possible interrupts: IC, SR, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play.
BSG
Everyone passes on interrupts. Chiefbot is up first. Everyone else, get those COs in.
Unexplained Deaths:
8 GP(1)
Destiny:
2 cards
Chief:
Apollo:
Cally:
Roslin:
Adama:
BSG
That was quick.

(COs received)
Adama:
Apollo is next.
BSG (Chiefbot)
I
play 1 card.
Hope you saved something good, Roslin. Hope Adama had a shitty card draw.
BSG (Chief)
Frak. It's all up to me, then. If they survive my turn, they win.
(Honestly, they should have frakking jumped early in the last cycle. They might have won by now.)
BSG (Apollo)
Nah, if we'd jumped before the Pursuit tracked jumped y'all in we'd have been screwed.
BSG
Nah, if we'd jumped before the Pursuit tracked jumped y'all in we'd have been screwed.
Apollo is correct. Adama's decision to nuke the basestar on turn 10.3 saved the fleet.
Meanwhile, another lightning check:
Unexplained Deaths:
8 GP(1)
Destiny:
2 cards
Chief:
1 card
Apollo:
1 card
Cally:
0 cards
Roslin:
0 cards
Adama:
4 cards
Cards played:
Executive Order 1
Executive Order 1
Executive Order 2
Declare Emergency 3
Strategic Planning 3
Evasive Manoeuvre 1
Evasive Manoeuvre 1
Maximum Firepower 4
Tally: 12 - 4 = 8. Exact pass!
Adama's Inspirational Leadership saves humanity for another turn!
Now things start to get interesting. The raider activation advances the pursuit track; it then adds another raider to the CFB. However, all twenty raiders are already on the CFB! The activation therefore causes the contents of one sector to jump in. The six raiders in Sector 1 appear to menace the fleet!
Finally, the jump track advances. It is now in the Blue; if the humans can reach FTL Control, they can jump to end the game! (Resource count, and therefore the final victors, pending resolution of any Personal Goals.)
BSG
That concludes Adama's turn. Chiefbot has opted to draw 1 Red and 1 Blue. Chiefbot, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
