Baltar draws a second Quorum card. It's mad Quorum action! Should the people be told? This is what Presidenting is all about! Baltar's crisis card is:
Informing the Public
Current Player's Choice
President Baltar, when you're ready, please post which colour you would like for your
Delusional Intuition;
then post your crisis card choice.
BSG (President)
Yikes. Don't like either option. I'm not too keen on failing #1. Especially with Helo going all in last check. It's low, but if we fail, that's a big hit. I'm leaning towards option 2. Any thoughts folks?
BSG (Starbuck)
Yeah, both are not good, but I really don't want to drop 2 morale is we miss on option 1, so I'd lean towards option 2.
BSG (President)
My council is quiet. Only my hero of a pilot responds. Thankfully the outed toaster has kept his bread burner closed. Alas, a decision has to be made.
I agree with my fine pilot. I will go with option 2.
Gods help us.
BSG
First things first: Baltar drew
Green
for his
Delusional Intuition.
By CO,
Starbuck plays a Strategic Planning 4 on the die roll.
Die roll: 6 + 2 = 8. Pass!
The public stays in the dark, and mere words cannot express my disappointment.
Still, we can manage a consolation prize. The raiders now activate. There are only two left, but the
Esperanto
is defenceless! It contained
1 Population.
Finally, the jump track advances. That concludes Baltar's turn. Chief Tyrol starts his turn in Sickbay, so he can only draw one card. He has chosen to draw
Blue.
His card is going out now.

By CO, Chief chooses to
remain in Sickbay and encounter Doc Cottle.
Cottle is pretty excited, he's working on a new medical theory to help himself quit the cigarettes, using nicotine patches. He collects a whole bunch of them, shreds them, rolls them up in paper and smokes them.
Cottle is Antagonistic.
Chief Tyrol has to discard three cards, which is as many cards as he holds. His discards are:
Iron Will 0
Declare Emergency 3
Jury Rigged 2
Doc Cottle is now sadly indisposed, as he's seeing what happens if he supplements his shredded nicotine patches with glass-grade crystal meth. His replacement pops up in Administration to keep Tom Zarek company -
Aaron Doral
joins the crew. Chief, when you're ready, let me know what kind of mood Doral is in.
BSG (Gaeta)
Ahahahahahahaha you human idiots.
BSG
Doral is sorted, and Chief vacates Sickbay in the direction of the Research lab, where
he draws 1 Blue.
Administrative note: his draw has exhausted the Engineering deck. I've reshuffled the discards.
Chief Tyrol, doing science! And today he is testing the hypothesis that if you guys don't shoot at the Cylons, maybe they'll leave you alone. Sadly, so far the evidence is stacking up in the opposite direction. Chief's crisis card is:
Surrounded
Cylon Attack
New ships, coming your way! But first, there's a basestar activation. Both the basestars open fire:
Basestar 1: 5. Hit!
Basestar 2: 3. Miss.
Anyone want to play a Calcs, turn it into a hit? ...No?
Chief, as current player this is your choice. Did the basestar hit Pegasus or Galactica?
BSG (Gaeta)
THREE! THREE CYLON ATTACKS THIS JUMP CYCLE! AH, AH, AH!
Aw, too bad Chief doesn't have any more cards to discard; that would have been even better.
Basestar 2: 3. Miss. Anyone want to play a Calcs, turn it into a hit? ...No?
I really wish Cally were a Cylon right now because that would be a pretty funny Reveal.
