Baltar uses Investigative Committee! It's super effective!
A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

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

It's check time! And Hoshi, as current player, has a decision to make. Two players both want to play a Reckless interrupt, but a maximum of one may be played on a given check. Helo tries to play a Guts and Initiative 2, while Cottle wants to play a Jury Rigged 1. Admiral Hoshi, which one do you accept?

Is G&I the one that eliminates Destiny? If so, I vote for that one, since it will eliminate all uncertainty.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
BSG (Adm. Louis Hoshi)
I'm not worried about the height of the check, I think we can clear it, no problem. Since it's an open check, it will be even easier to hit the mark. So I pick the no destiny option. I pick Helo's G&I card.

Hoshi opts to use the G&I. But the plot thickens further: on hearing that the Admiral prefers a G&I, Cottle steps forward again, and offers a GI-1 in place of Helo's GI-2. Since his is cheaper, I assume Hoshi will accept Cottle's card.
That's it for interrupts. I also have everyone's play:
Unsettling Stories:
9 YG
Destiny:
0 cards
Apollo:
Executive Order 1, Dradis Contact 0, Bait 0
Helo:
Declare Emergency 4, Quick Thinking 0, Bait 0
Cottle:
Executive Order 2, Dradis Contact 0
Leoben:
Consolidate Power 2
Baltar:
Dradis Contact 0, Dradis Contact 0
Hoshi:
Bait 0
That's quite a lot of Treachery there. Anyone would think this card had a Consequence, with the number of 0-value cards getting tossed about. Oh, wait, we also have a result:
Tally: 9 - 0 = 9. Pass! So that's nice. Finally, Hoshi, Helo's QT-0 allows you to take one card from the check (up to 3 value) and add it to your hand. If you take anything with a positive value, the check will fail (though if you take a 1- or 2-value card, a DE will salvage the check). You can also take back one of the Treachery cards (you can't take the QT-0 itself). Would you like to reclaim a card, and if so, which one?

While we await Hoshi's decision on that, the Treachery cards trigger. Although there are multiple B-0s and DC-0s, we can only have one activation of each type. Two raiders appear in Sector 1, and one civilian ship appears in Sector 4. Not that it matters, because the fleet jumps! Destinations going out to the Admiral. Admiral Hoshi, when you're ready, please post the fleet's destination.

oh! Now it all makes sense.

Well, that went surprisingly well!
Alas, here comes Sleeper Phase, and now we're frakked.
