Administrative note: That skill check reduced Destiny to 6 cards. I've replenished and reshuffled it.
BSG (Roslin)
Ugh, screw you, Destiny, we had the partial pass! It was good enough!
BSG
Orders from Starbuck:
Move: None.
Action 1: Play Maximum Firepower 4 and start shooting!
Raiders first.
Fire 1: 7. Hit!
Fire 2: 6. Hit!
So far, so good. Starbuck aims at the heavy raider next. At this point I will pause to ask if anyone wants to play an SP. Everyone, please pass or play.
BSG (Roslin)
Ooh, you wouldn't like her when she's angry.
Pass on interrupts.
BSG (Doc)
Hold on, I thought I had 3 cards. All-seeing all-knowing GM?
BSG
Hold on, I thought I had 3 cards. All-seeing all-knowing GM?
I have you with two cards. Send me your list and I'll reconcile.
Everyone passes on interrupts:
Fire 3: 2. Miss.
Fire 4: 3. Miss.
For Starbuck's second action, she shoots one last time:
Fire 5: 3. Miss.
Time for the Cylons to retaliate. While Buff diving, I came across this quote from Matt the Bruins Fan:
I theoretically love the idea of a film about ace pilots in the Great War, but from the look of the trailer, with planes flying through exploding zeppelins and all, I'm afraid they're going to feature Manfred von Richthofen as a famous German ace before America even officially entered the war, and have James Franco's non-Australian character be the one who kills him against all odds after a heroic hours-long dogfight. By jumping into his plane in midair and punching him to death.
I mention this so you have the appropriate visual as to how Starbuck's crisis card could be:
Centurion Assault
Skill Check (9 PR)
Possible interrupts: IC, SR, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play.
BSG (Starbuck)
With card counts so low, and the result not too serious, I'm willing to go to sick bay if folks want to tank it. If we want to go for it, I can help a little.
