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.)
BSG
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.

BSG (Gaeta)
Since we're not using Cylon Fleet, there's no more escorting, right? Those civvies are just sitting ducks? This could get bad very quickly.
I think a visit to Hot Dog is in order. If he's feeling nice. Either way, we've got to shoot at basestars, and he might help us get rid of some Raiders, which would be good.

There's no escorting, but you can still use Communications.
BSG (President)
Baltar: Research Lab; 7 cards, 3 trauma
Ahem. Mr. Awesome GM. I do believe I took my harem...er... advisors, and moved to Colonial One, to occupy the Presidents Office. I'm not a scientist anymore. I am a member of the elite now. I rule!!!
BSG (Chief-less)
Hmmmph. Well, in spite of everything, there's nothing over here to repair. Given that we tend to use Pegasus as a shield, being over there might be a good place to wait, plus I have a perfect card to discard.
So who could really use an XO right now?
BSG (Helo I'm over here)
I can't move until my next turn even if I get an XO, correct?
BSG
That's a moot question, as you can't be XO'd. You can't move and can't take an action until your second turn. Conversely, you can't be executed, so there's that.
