Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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

BSG (Cally)

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.

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

BSG (Zarek)

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

Even if I play all my cards, it's a small help.

It sounds like we might squeak by, but we'd all be tapped out of cards.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Pres. Apollo)

I listen to the voice of the people and the first thing you all want to do is throw me in the slammer? I can help a good bit with the check and obviously I don't want the brig or morale hit. We should be able to pass it.

Does anyone have an IC so we're not flying so blind?

We'll recover. If we tank it, then we either have to use a bunch of cards—and an action—to get Apollo out or Romo's OPG. Any interrupts would be good, but we should try to pass this thing for sure.

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

BSG

Everyone passes on interrupts. The check begins!

Hidden Identity: 12 YGP

Destiny: 2 cards
Athena: 1 card
Zarek: 2 cards
Cally: (0 or 2+ cards)
Baltar: (COs received)
Romo:
Hot Dog:
Apollo: (COs received)

Cally is up next.

oops. I just assumed you were all waiting for me
