Starbuck opens fire! Why? Who knows, it's the military. It's what they do.
Fire 1: 6. Hit!
Fire 2: 6. Hit!
Fire 3: 2. Miss.
Fire 4: 6. Hit!
Three raiders destroyed. Hey, you know what has a 100% success rate against raiders, and all the other ships too? Jumping. Perhaps we can make that happen for you. Starbuck's crisis card is:
Joe's Bar
Skill Check (12 YGB)
Possible interrupts: IC, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play.
BSG
While we resolve this check, I've just noticed an error. We're using the official No Sympathiser variant this game, which means that revealed Cylons should draw three cards on their turn. However, last turn Roslon only drew two cards, and is therefore a card short. I propose that on her turn (coming up next), she can draw four cards instead of three (all of different colours, per the usual rules). Does anyone have any objections, comments, counterproposals?
BSG (Doctladmirent)
Pass on interrupts. I can help a lot.
Eta: I'm fine with the additional card to the cylon to make up for getting shorted last turn.
BSG (Starbuck)
Only that we humans need all the help that we can get, and that won't help us. But in interest of fairness, I suppose it's the right thing to do.
BSG (Starbuck)
Pass on interrupts. I can help a little.
In Skyrim you taste the ingredients and then you craft the potion. So you need more than one of everything to be able to taste and still have something to craft.
BSG (Cally)
Pass on interrupts. I can help.
BSG
Everyone passes on interrupts. The check begins! I have everyone's play, so it ends too:
Joe's Bar:
12 YGB
Destiny:
2 cards
Roslin:
1 card
Cottle:
4 cards
Cally:
2 cards
Starbuck:
1 card

Tally: 20 - 4 = 16. Pass! The fleet discovers booze... through science! Naturally, Morale increases.
Next, the lone raider fires back at Starbuck:
Raider: 1. Miss. Not that it mattered greatly, because the jump track reaches the end. The fleet jumps! Choice of destinations are being sent to Cottle. Pradmidoctitrator Cottle, when you're ready, please post your choice.
BSG
Cottle has made his choice. The fleet arrives at a Binary Star. Being overly literal-minded, he orders civvies on either side of Galactica.
Fuel falls back to 1. That concludes Starbuck's turn. In order to make up the previous shortfall, Roslin draws four cards. She has opted for Yellow, Red, Blue and Treachery. Red Roslon, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
