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

Administrative note: Gaeta's card draw this turn exhausted the Leadership deck. I've reshuffled the discards.

Cally plays an SR-3. Blue is now positive for this check.

I hate getting into the accusation game because it usually ends up with people thinking I'm a cylon when I'm not.
Funny how this game works. Everyone says that until they are in the resurrection ship.

That being said, I can help some with this check. CO's are sent. Good job Cally! Making Blue help. That should ensure victory from this rogue ship.

Administrative note: Destiny's play into the check reduced it to six cards. I've replenished and reshuffled it.

Here's the full check:

The Olympic Carrier: 11 YGR(B)

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

Consolidate Power 1

Tally: 21 - 2 = 19. Pass! The Olympic Carrier is safe. I guess that's what success looks like.

With that, the jump track advances, and the fleet jumps! Destinations are going to Helo. Admiral Agathon, when you're ready, please post your choice.

Well, I guess it was time for us to overplay the shit out of a check. Oops. I was thinking of abstaining, too!

Take us somewhere good, Admiral. We have fuel to burn!
