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

BSG (Roslin)

I expect we will hear the whining of a certain chrome ex-president.

I am too busy mourning ALL MY FRIENDS YOU KILLED YOU ASSHOLES.

Plus one of them owed me money.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

BSG (Starbuck)

Quit yer bitching. They will all come back in the resurrection ship. Just gotta look up the deadbeat over there.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

BSG (Doc)

OK! Let's do Option 1 and see if we can pass. Could happen.

(Note to billytea, I mean the skill check, if I got them mixed up)

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

BSG

Let's see if I have everyone's interrupt COs... I do indeed, and everyone passes. The check begins:

Send Survey Team: 15 PRB

Destiny: 2 cards
Cally: (0 or 2+ cards)
Starbuck: (COs received)
Roslin: (COs received)
Cottle:

Cally is up first.

BTW, Cally

I can help a lot with the skill check, particularly if anyone else has some Blue to play.

Yeah, do that, that'd be good.

Please note, this identifies a card being played into the skill check, and is therefore a violation of the secrecy rules.

Oops. Should we do something to remedy that?

For my part, that info didn't really affect my choice of option or the COs I just put in for what to play.

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

BSG (Cally)

Plus it's turns out I misremembered my hand.

Well, if we call the game, due to rain, then we end were we are, and Humans win!

If the game ends now, you never reach Kobol, and the Cylons win.

There's not really anything to be done about it, just everyone remember not to comment about 0-value cards you might be playing. They're not interrupts.

Meanwhile, I have everyone's play:

Send Survey Team: 15 PRB

Destiny: 2 cards
Cally: 4 cards
Starbuck: 2 cards
Roslin: 1 card
Cottle: 3 cards

Cards played:

Launch Scout 2
Strategic Planning 3
Critical Situation 5
Run Interference 4
Establish Network 0
Jury Rigged 1
Repair 1
Repair 2
Scientific Research 3
Scientific Research 4
Red Tape 0
Investigative Committee 3

The Red Tape 0 negates the Critical Situation 5, while the Establish Network 0 doubles all Blue cards in the check.

Tally: 31 - 3 = 28. Yeah, that's a pass. Cottle remains out of Sickbay!

Next, raiders activate. There are none on the board after the nuke, so two launch from the basestar in Sector 6. Finally the jump track advances. That concludes Cottle's turn. He may have stayed out of Sickbay, but Cally wasn't so lucky. She starts her turn in Sickbay, so she picks up 1 trauma (which is not a disaster, so she's still kicking) and just 1 skill card. She's opted to draw Purple. Cally, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
