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

BSG (Gaeta)

Nice! Except Starbuck hasn't actually chosen the check yet, so...

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

BSG (Hel0)

I can't help with the check.

Our wings are not tired

BSG (Starbuck)

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

BSG

As previously noted, Baltar plays an AAC-3. Treachery now counts positive. Remaining possible interrupts: IC. Everyone, please pass or play.

Here's the full check:

Forced Water Mining: 17 YGPB(T)

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

This is going to be interesting. Cards played:

Red Tape 0
Declare Emergency 5
Launch Scout 1
Critical Situation 5
Scientific Research 3
Calculations 3
By Your Command 1
Best of the Best 6

Tally: 18 - 6 = 12. Fail. However! The Red Tape kicks in, and cancels all cards worth 5 or 6 - of which there are three.

Revised tally: 8 - 0 = 8. Such Fail! Population and Morale both fall by 1! And the check isn't finished with you yet. This check is Reckless, so the By Your Command triggers. The raiders and heavy raider all activate.

Finally, the raiders activate again; and the jump track advances. That concludes Starbuck's turn. Baltar's cards are going out. President Baltar, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
