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

I now have everyone's play, which is:
Unfair Bias:
12 YGP
Destiny:
2 cards
Helo:
Executive Order 1, Launch Scout 1
Cottle:
0 cards
Leoben:
Negotiation 5
Baltar:
Major Victory 2
Hoshi:
0 cards
Apollo:
Iron Will 0, At Any Cost 3, Launch Scout 2
Running tally: 14 + Destiny. That Iron Will effectively gives you another 4 points of buffer zone. It'd have to be a pretty dire Destiny to drop you here. Destiny reveals:
Run Interference 4
Personal Vices 3
Tally: 14 - 7 = 7. Fail! The check fails by 5, so the Iron Will does not trigger. However, if someone plays a Declare Emergency, the check will have only failed by 3, and the Iron Will will prevent the Fail effect! Everyone, please pass or play.
Once that's decided, we'll move on to resolving the other skill check effect card, the PV-3.

Clearly what's necessary is for the One God to grant us a miracle. Unfortunately you people appear to have displeased him, so our only option is to Declare Emergency - 3!

The emergency is declared. The check fails by 3, close enough for Iron Will. No effect!
However, there was Treachery in that check, so we resolve that next. The PV-3 means that every player draws 1 Treachery. The current player (Apollo) gets a mutiny card. Cards are going out now.
Finally, the jump track advances. That concludes Apollo's turn. Helo's cards are going out. Helo, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Actually, there is one last order of business. After dealing the Treachery, Hoshi now has 11 cards in hand. Admiral Hoshi, when you're ready, please post your discard.

The current player (Apollo) gets a mutiny card.
WHAT. Holy frak, it's a good thing I just played my other one, or I'd be in the Brig right now.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Not near my sheet. But easy answer is that treachery card to discard.
