I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

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

BSG (Zarek)

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

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.

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

oops. I just assumed you were all waiting for me

It's currently Cally's turn to play.

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

BSG (Cally)

I play 2 cards. Orders insent.

BSG

I have everyone's play:

Hidden Identity: 12 YGP

Destiny: 2 cards
Athena: 1 card
Zarek: 2 cards
Cally: 2 cards
Baltar: 0 cards
Romo: 2 cards
Hot Dog: 1 card
Apollo: 1 card

Cards played:

Consolidate Power 1
Consolidate Power 2
Consolidate Power 2
Iron Will 0
Major Victory 1
Executive Order 2
Restore Order 4
Launch Scout 1
Launch Scout 2
Strategic Planning 3
Strategic Planning 5

Tally: 23 - 0 = 23. Epic Pass! Almost twice as many points as you needed, look at that. Seems a shame just to get a "no effect" for all that, doesn't it? Admiral Zarek certainly thinks so. He plays a Change of Plans 5! Instead of no effect, every human player (which, since Athena is infiltrating, means everyone) may draw 2 cards! The cards must come from your own skill set. Everyone, when you're ready, please post which colour(s) you would like to draw.

Our wings are not tired

I will draw 1R and 1G

BSG (Romo Majordomo)

I'll take 1Y 1P

Is someone definitely a cylon at this point?

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

BSG (Baltar the Grateful)

Well, Athena. But, no, not like you mean. Someone could be laying low, or overplaying, or we could all be loyal humans with Athena helping us out. It's possible.

I'll take 1Y 1G

Thanks Admiral! I'm sure this bounty in no way required anything morally questionable on your part.
