Athena discards an All Hands on Deck 0
to reach Pegasus. The RS she plays is the
Raptor Specialist 3.
And now the fleet has an extra assault raptor!
Now, with everyone stocking up on Politics last turn, you'd think there was something going on. Maybe they all want to run for President. Athena's crisis card is:
Elections Loom
Skill Check (8 YG)
Ironic, really. Athena doesn't get to vote! Morale is at the starting value of 10. Possible interrupts: IC, SR, RO, ASC, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Zarek plays first, Athena last.
BSG (Zarek)
I can help—obviously most of us can—but I was hoping to use the card for its effect if possible. We overplayed the hell out of the last check; surely someone picked up an IC.
BSG (Baltar)
Pass on interrupts
I can help a little.
ETA: the Admiral certainly has a point, Elections and Investigative Committees go together like ice cream and chocolate syrup.
BSG (Apollo)
You know, this is all just a little bit more about me than I was expecting...
I can help. I don't have an IC, more's the pity.
BSG
I have an interrupt play.
Athena plays a Jury Rigged 2.
The check difficulty is now 4. It does not reduce the partial pass DC, so in effect, there is no more partial pass result for this check. In addition, the check is now Reckless. We'll be turning over some Treachery after resolving the check.
BSG (Cally)
I do not have an IC, but I can help a lot.
BSG (Cally)
Crap, I hate this "can't play one card" thing. OK, I can help A LOT.
BSG (Romo)
I could help a little but let's not overplay this one.
BSG
Everyone, I jsut sent out an email in error (it was supposed to go to just one player). Could everyone delete the two most recent emails from me without reading them (they will have been sent about three minutes apart)?
If you have already read them, please let me know.
BSG (Baltar)
Deleted without reading.
OK, sounds like Apollo has a lot of popular support and I can keep my little bit of help and save it for later. So that's my plan.
