You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

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

BSG (Leoben)

Wow that's a high bar for No Effect. Scientific Research would help a lot. Otherwise I can't really help. But there are a lot of cards out there so I'll go ahead and offer this IC-3 to get us started.

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

BSG (Adm. Louis Hoshi)

Excellent! That should keep the Cylon hidden or flushed. Either way, should help us earn that no effect. (Gotta work on my inspirational speeches).

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

BSG

Cottle plays a Scientific Research 4. Science!

Still waiting for interrupt orders from one or two people.

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

BSG (Apollo)

Pass on interrupts. I can only help a little if at all.

Our wings are not tired

BSG (Doc)

So since this is an open check with the exception of destiny, how much of a buffer do you think we should be shooting for?

BSG (Apollo)

I usually aim for a buffer of at least 6. The max damage would be 12, but that's highly unlikely.

I have everyone's play:

Insubordinate Crew: 12 GP(B)

Destiny: 2 cards
Leoben: Build Nuke 6
Baltar: Executive Order 2, Repair 2
Hoshi: Unorthodox Plan 4
Apollo: 0 cards
Helo: Declare Emergency 3
Cottle: Install Upgrades 0, Repair 1

Running tally: 18 + Destiny. Let's see what Destiny is bringing to the party:

Evasive Manoeuvre 2
Exploit Weakness 5

Tally: 18 - 7 = 11. Fail! Ouch, that was one harsh Destiny. The check is within 1 point of passing, so I'll pause for DEs. Everyone, please pass or play.
