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.

Doc mentioned something. I suspect it was a xpost action going on there. Yeah, for something that's rare, we sure got a bunch of them. Hey, maybe that means no more for the rest of the game. If that's the case, we did pretty good! One boarded, but we eradicated him pretty quick!
With the jump, the skies are clear. I think we are damage free (We'll know with the end of turn update). Which means, the highest priority might be getting me out of sick bay, so I can get full card draw on my turn. Next priority, is trying to get more food, so maybe XO to the President??
BSG (Doc)
We won't know if we've got clear skies until we know where we are, right?
In any case, I'm not entirely following your logic. Are you advising me to XO Roslin to get you out of Sickbay?
BSG (Starbuck)
I doubt she could. Just presenting options, of what I see as short term priorities.
BSG (Roslin)
I cannot get you out of Sickbay, sadly. That's up to Cottle or Adama.
Go team on that check, though! A little too much go, but hey.
