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

We're back in it, and everyone has passed on interrupts.

Die roll: 2 + 2 = 4. Tom Zarek, you suck at hitting damaged basestars. In fact, you seem to stand a better chance of having hit yourself. Zarek's crisis card is:

Crash Landing
Skill Check (6 PR)

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.

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

BSG (Zarek)

GODSDAMMIT. A 75% chance of getting a hit and I still miss. Twice.

Pass on interrupts. I can help on the check. If we fail, should we take the Fuel hit or the Morale hit?

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

BSG (Baltar)

I am no help whatsoever. Probably Morale? Not sure.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Apollo)

Everyone's in:

Crash Landing: 6 PR

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

Cards played:

Launch Scout 2
Strategic Planning 3
Evasive Manoeuvre 1
Full Throttle 1
Maximum Firepower 3

Tally: 10. Pass! There you go, Zarek didn't accidentally hit himself. He didn't hit anything.

Next up, this check, like the last one, was Reckless. Will the crew pay for their hubris? The top Treachery card is:

Personal Vices 3

Lucky again! Finally, the heavy raider gets moving to Sector 6. Another activation and it will board Galactica. That concludes Zarek's turn. Cally's cards are going out. Cally, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
