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

BSG

Purple's not an option for you; you need to draw from your regular colours.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

BSG (President)

Why, how very helpful! I'm certainly not going to suspect Baltar of being a Cylon for at least two turns.
Yes! I may get re-elected after all!

BSG

Here's everyone's play:

Missing G4 Explosives: 7 GP

Destiny: 2 cards
Chief: 1 card
Cally: 2 cards
Helo: 0 cards
Gaeta: 1 card
Starbuck: 0 cards
Baltar: 1 card

Cards played:

Iron Will 0
Executive Order 1
Executive Order 1
Declare Emergency 3
Launch Scout 2
Launch Scout 2
Special Destiny 2

Tally: 9 - 2 = 7. Exact pass! Crisis is averted as the missing explosives are found in the possession of Ellen Tigh, who explains that "they matched my shoes today."

However, that's not the end of the story. This check was Reckless thanks to the Support the People played by Cally; therefore, the Special Destiny 2 triggers and everyone draws one Treachery card. Cards are going out now. (At least it wasn't a By Your Command, which thanks to Constant Barrage would activate raiders and launch four more raiders. Then the crisis cards raider activation would activate all those raiders, and add yet another four raiders.)

Right, let's continue. (Oh, and I will note that Cally's StP interrupt has now brought the crew a total of sixteen new cards.) The raider activationsees the existing raiders advance towards Starbuck and the civvies; Constant Barrage means that it also adds four new raiders to the board.

That concludes Baltar's turn. Chief's cards are going out. Chief Tyurol, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
