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

BSG (Apollo)

You can't go to Research Lab because of your Weakness anyway. Or Communications. Or Command. So you should go to the very empty Pegasus.

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

BSG (leoben)

oops! Forgot about that weakness.

I will Discard Force their Hand - 0 to move to Main Batteries

and then.. there's not really anything else I can do that I think would be productive at this time. So I guess I Pass on taking an action.

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

Leoben ensures that I have a target no matter which basestar is getting shot at. That's very thoughtful of him. As is passing on his action, because that means we get right onto his crisis card. Hey, did you know there's now a Cylon wandering loose on Pegasus? Looks like there's been a:

Security Breach
Skill Check (6 GP)

Possible interrupts: IC, SR, RO, ASC, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Baltar plays first, Leoben last.

Well, that's an annoying check to have! I can help a little.

BSG (Leoben)

Pass on interrupts. What security breach? I'm here to help. Um, except I can't help at all.

Baltar is first.

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

BSG (Adm. Louis Hoshi)

Yikes. No IC. May the gods smile on us. Thankfully, it's a low hurdle to jump.

BSG

I now have everyone's play:

Security Breach: 6 GP

Destiny: 2 cards
Baltar: 1 card
Hoshi: 1 card
Apollo: 1 card
Helo: 2 cards
Cottle: 0 cards
Leoben: 0 cards

Will it be enough? Cards played:

Iron Will 0
All Hands on Deck 0
Executive Order 2
Executive Order 2
Strategic Planning 3
Consolidate Power 1
Scientific Research 3

Tally: 7 - 4 = 3. Fail! However, this check includes two 0-value cards. AHoD-0 adds 1 point for every 0-value card in the check (including itself). Tally = 5. Still fail! Fortunately, the other 0-value card is an IW-0. Since this check failed within 4 points of the pass level, the fail result is ignored. No effect!

That concludes Leoben's turn. Baltar's cards are going out. Baltarnate, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
