Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

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

Die roll: 7. Hit! And the damage is: Structural Damage! All further attacks against this basestar are at +2 to hit.

Nicely done!

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

BSG (Zarek)

It's like the basestar is now planning my attacks for me!

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

BSG

It is! Let's see if it helps:

Die roll: 2 + 2 = 4. Miss. Any Calcs? No? Ah well.

I was all set to move on to a crisis card, but of course Apollo can now use his special ability to activate his current location. He hits up the Quorum. First Quorum card sent. President pollo, you may now draw another card, or play one from your hand. When you're ready, please post your orders.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Apollo)

I'll go ahead and draw another, please.

Second Quorum card sent. Now we get to the crisis card, and perhaps one of the crew members is secretly Batman? Apollo's crisis card is:

Hidden Identity
Skill Check (12 YGP)

Possible interrupts: IC, SR, RO, ASC, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Athena plays first, Apollo last.

How's everyone feel about this? Can we help or not? I ask, since my weakness is can't play just one card. With only 3, I don't want to burn 2/3rds of my cards on the first check, if they aren't needed.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

BSG (Baltar)

My skills cannot do much in this particular crisis.

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

BSG (Romo)

All my cards are positive but I'm afraid even if I play all of them we may still not pass.

The good news is that for a small fee of all your skill cards I can get you out of the brig, Apollo. Unfortunately this is a one time offer.

I can help a lot, and it'd be great if we could pass this check. Does it not look like we can?
