You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Everyone passes on interrupts. The check begins:

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.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

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.

Destiny finally helped us too. That's a first.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

BSG (Adama)

People of the Fleet, we have arrived in Deep Space. Look at all the pretty stars. What's that? You're sick of stars?

Regrettably, it appears so: [link]

Fuel and Morale both fall by 1! However, at this point I need to make a correction. On Adama's last turn, the crew dealt with Terrorist Investigations. The check's tally was 4, a failure, with a rogue Broadcast Location 1 knocking 1 point off the total.

The problem is, that was Adama's turn. And his special ability means that for crisis cards drawn on his turn, 1s count positive. That BL-1 should have added to the tally, not reduced it. If we count the BL-1 as positive, then the final tally is 6 - enough for a partial pass.

This is a simple fix. Failure just cost 1 Morale, a partial pass gives no effect. I am therefore adding back the lost point of Morale, to rectify this error. Taking this into account along with your new Destination, both Fuel and Morale are at 6 as at turn end.

That concludes Roslin's turn. Cottle's cards are going out. Doc Cottle, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
