BSG (Roslin)
Friends! Capricans! Spacemen! Lend me your earpieces! The ship is under attack, you're all hungry, the Admiral was recently executed, and our only pilot is recovering from grave injuries sustained in battle.
But, you know, it gets better and stuff.
How's that for an
Inspirational Speech
?
BSG
Roslin has played an Inspirational Speech. The die roll to raise Morale may be modified by an SP. Everyone, please pass or play.
BSG
I have passes from everyone.
Die roll: 2. Fail.
Not very inspiring after all. Maybe next time you should try turning the mic on.
Time for Roslin's Visions, and we sorted those out while waiting for the die roll. Roslin's crisis card has no trouble finding the mic; it is:
Threat of Super Nova
Skill Check (10 GRB)
Possible interrupts: IC, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play.
BSG (Roslin)
Pass on interrupts, but I can help with this check.
BSG (Starbuck)
Pass as well, and I can help a little with the check too.
BSG
Everyone passes on interrupts. The check begins:
Threat of Super Nova:
10 GRB
Destiny:
2 cards
Cottle:
Adama:
(COs received)
Starbuck:
(COs received)
Roslin:
Cottle is first.
BSG (Doc)
Oh, hey, I can help with this one! And I will, I should be getting more skills in a minute.
2 cards.
Eta: another Heavy Raider activation, eh? I heard those were rare.
Also - Jump Icon, yay! I like Jump Icons.
BSG
That's everyone, to the tune of:
Threat of Super Nova:
10 GRB
Destiny:
2 cards
Cottle:
2 cards
Adama:
1 card
Starbuck:
1 card
Roslin:
1 card
Cards played:
Iron Will 0
Declare Emergency 3
Declare Emergency 3
State of Emergency 6
Establish Network 0
Repair 2
Scientific Research 3
Tally: 22 - 0 = 22. Pass!
Lets's see what you win with that heroic effort:
No effect.
That's 100% less effect than failing the check would give you! So that's nice.
Next, the heavy raider activates for the fifth time so far this game, but no one cares, because the jump track reaches the final space. The fleet jumps! Choice of destinations going to the Admiral. Admiral Adama, when you're ready, please post your choice.
