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

BSG (Cain)

OH MY GODS. We live to fight another day, and I don't think we can pass this check. I can't help at all.

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

Everyone passes on interrupts:

Weapon Malfunction: 11 PRB

Destiny: 2 cards
Baltar:
Hoshi: (COs received)
Cain: (COs received)
Helo:
Cottle:
Leoben:

There's just one thing I need to check about Baltar's play to start the check.

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

BSG (Leoben)

Yeah I think we should TANK it. With an XO I can repair a couple vipers.

BSG (Cottle)

Can anyone else help with this check? I can actually help a lot on it.

BSG(Doctor Sherman)

I can't help either. Put me down as a second vote for TANK.

BSG (Cain)

I will join the TANK since I can't help, unless Cottle thinks he can do it all on his own, but even so, maybe save those for when we're going to die.

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

BSG (Toasty Hoshi)

Woot! Tank! That's 2 dead RSV's! And a lot of defenseless humans. Gotta love it.

BSG (Cottle)

If no one else can help then I will go along with the TANK.

Tankies all round! Nonetheless, a few stray cards wind up in the check. Here's the deal:

Weapon Malfunction: 11 PRB

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

Cards played:

Evasive Manoeuvre 1
Dradis Contact 0
Bait 0
Bait 0
Bait 0
Exploit Weakness 5

Tally: 1 - 5 = -4. Fail! All vipers are once again in the fix-it shop, and the civvies in Sector 6 are unprotected! Fortunately, there's no raider activation, but we'll get to that. First off we have to resolve all that lovely Treachery. The DC-0 adds 2 raiders in Sector 1. The B-0s have no effect, as all the civilian ships are already on the board.

Then there's Exploit Weakness. Leoben, you must now choose a human player to draw a mutiny card. Baltar and Cottle already have one, and would be brigged if you chose them. You and Cain are currently mutiny-free. Who's feeling rebellious?

Back to the activation, which launches 3 raiders from each basestar, for a total of 6. However, there are only 3 raiders left in reserve. Leoben, as current player this is your choice too. Please advise how to split the three raiders between Sectors 2 and 3. You can put them all in S2, all in S3 or anywhere in between. (S2 is furthest from any civvies.)
