I have heard from Doc Cottle, who plays a
Jury Rigged 1.
The check's DC falls to 6! In addition, this check is now Reckless! The partial pass level is not affected by the JR-1, so effectively there is no longer a partial pass outcome for this skill check.
Everyone else passes on interrupts. The check begins!
Witch Hunt:
10 6 YG
Destiny:
2 cards
Hoshi:
1 card
Cain:
0 cards
Helo:
1 card
Cottle:
2 cards
Leoben:
0 cards
Baltar:
Baltar is last to play.
BSG
Baltar plays two cards. Will it be enough? Cards played:
Consolidate Power 2
Consolidate Power 2
Preventative Policy 4
Investigative Committee 5
Restore Order 3
Establish Network 0
Dradis Contact 0
Violent Outbursts 4
Tally: 16 - 4 = 12. Pass!
Baltar declares the fleet to be witch-free! But not Treachery-free. The two Treachery cards take effect. The DC-0 adds two raiders to Sector 1. The VO-4 sends Baltar to Sickbay! Apparently there were people who didn't appreciate being accused of witchery.
And now, some more good news, because this check is Reckless. We have a chance to do it all again! The top card of the Treachery deck is:
Personal Vices 3
The fleet survives the Recklessness unscathed! Finally, the heavy raider activates and moves to Sector 4, and the jump track also advances. That concludes Baltar's turn. Hoshi has opted to draw 1 Treachery. Hoshi, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Administrative note: Hoahi's card draw exhausted the Treachery deck, for the third time this game. I've reshuffled the discards.
BSG (Leoben)
I am reasonably certain that either Helo or Cottle is a cylon.
BSG (Toasty Hoshi)
MOVE:
Cylon Fleet.
ACTION:
Activate Raiders.
Sit back and enjoy the show, campers. Should be some mighty fine entertainment. I see 2 Civillians going down, and hopefully some red shirted ships too!
Some days, it's good to be a Cylon.
BSG (Cottle)
I'm curious what I've done that makes you think I'm a metallic humanoid?
BSG (Toasty Hoshi)
Well, we know Apollo isn't one.

BSG (Leoben)
I'm not sure secrecy rules will permit me to expose my thought process.
