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.

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

BSG (Cally)

OK, What shall we do? I'm a bit worried about that heavy raider. Also not happy about the 6 raiders flying around.

Any thoughts on what we should do? I can XO. Zarek to shoot at things? Hot Dog to go after the heavy? Or barf out a couple more RSV's, since I am in command?

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

BSG (Baltar)

My knee-jerk anti-boarding party feeling is XO Hot Dog.

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

BSG (Romo)

Hot Dog or Zarek. I'm still worried about that basestar.

MOVE: None.

ACTION: Play XO-2 and order Hot Dog to take out that heavy raider.

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

BSG (Zarek)

Heavy raider only gets taken out on a 7 or 8, right? Roll high, dude.

BSG (Cally)

Well, as I learned (the hard way) the first few times playing BSG. I can order all I want. Once the XO is played, the player picks what to do with it.

Hot Dog moves to Sector 6 and fires at the heavy raider! Everyone passes on SPs:

Die roll: 6. Miss! However, it could be changed to a hit by the judicious application of a Calcs. Everyone (who draws Blue), please pass or play.
