President Roslin, are you having visions?
On her turn I imagine she'll manage to rustle them up. Meanwhile! This is all happening quickly. Everyone passes on interrupts, and I have their plays into the check:
Airlock Leak:
6 PB
Destiny:
2 cards
Roslin:
0 cards
Cottle:
2 cards
Hoshi:
0 cards
Starbuck:
1 card
Is the key to successful crisis checkitude to do them at
phenomenal speed?!
Cards played:
Guts and Initiative 2
Launch Scout 2
Establish Network 0
Calculations 4
Executive Order 1
Tally: 12 - 1 = 11. Pass!
You should all do that more often. Unless you're a Cylon. Then, do that more often, and then complain about it to me back-channel.
But there's a little something for everyone, as you may have sealed the leak, but the heavy raider still landed. Please welcome the latest and shiniest crew member, Jean-Ralphio!
That concludes Starbuck's turn. Roslin's cards are going out. President Roslin, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

President Roslin, stand by for your scheduled beating. When you're ready, please post whether to draw a second card or play one from your hand.
Edit: and while I'm at it, lookit that. The Gaming thread has reached 20,000 posts.
BSG (Roslin)
Well, that's not violent enough. I
draw a second card.
BSG
Second card sent, along with a Religious Visions chaser. President Roslin, when you're ready, please post your choice.
BSG (Roslin)
We can breathe a bit easier this time, but not too much easier since we have a
Food Shortage.
I would request a little bit of input from my constituents on this one, as we are low on Food. I don't want to take the bigger Food hit, but it would mean losing my entire hand.
BSG (Bill)
I wish I could help you, Laura.
BSG (Roslin)
Yeah, sometimes it sucks being the President and the current player, and, unfortunately, I think the cards are a bigger concern right now, since there are ways to get Food back. I didn't want to make a decision without a little discussion, though.
BSG (Starbuck)
With food at 6, that will drop us in the red (or close to it), and we are only on round 1. It's a tough call.
Normally I'd say suck it up. But given the admiral has no cards... Passing skill checks with 2 players would be worse.
With trepidation, I say go for -2 food.
