Ok, guys, it sounds pretty solid, so I'm going to lay out on this one.

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

BSG (Zarek)

I'm actually not so confident, with only a few people saying they can help a little. A "little" probably means somewhere between 1 and 3, and we have 4 people saying they can help a little. Best case we hit 12, worst case we hit 4. And we really want a full-on pass here, not just partial. It'd be very easy for Destiny to frak us.

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

Um, I'm not so sure we are "pretty solid". I agree with Zarek. We are probably in the 8-10 range more than the 14-16 range that we need. If you can play, please do. 12 is not an easy mark to hit.

All right, all right, will of the people. Just don't come crying to me when I could have used this later!

Amending CO's, Mr. Gamemaster.

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

BSG

Right, everyone's orders are in.

Hybrid in Panic: 12 (8) PB

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

Cards played:

Launch Scout 1
Launch Scout 2
Critical Situation 4
Repair 1
Repair 1
Repair 1
Scientific Research 3
Negotiation 5
Evasive Manoeuvre 2

Tally: 13 - 7 = 6. Fail! But this is Cally's turn, and she can use her Quick Fix ability to remove a card. While it'd be really funny if she chose the CS-4, Cally removes Negotiation 5. The new tally is 11. Partial Pass! But that's still not enough for some people. Zarek plays a Declare Emergency 4. Pass! The jump track increases by 1!

The Cylon activation is a heavy raider (again). If Hot Dog hadn't destroyed that heavy, it would have boarded. With it gone, we have to start all over again. The basestar launches another one. Finally, the jump track advances (again). That concludes Cally's turn. Baltar's cards are going out. Baltarnate, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

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

BSG (Baltar)

All right!

So, now what do we want to do? I don't see trying to brig anyone as being helpful right now, so I am thinking I will move, and probably XO somebody. Shall we get Athena out of Sickbay? Shoot at Cylons? Where should I go, what should we do?

BSG (Zarek)

Thank you for playing your card, Apollo! See??

Baltar, I say get Athena out of Sickbay now. If we're lucky, we jump on your turn, so I don't see a huge offense being necessary now, whereas it could be worse if we get attacked in our new location. Let's get Athena in a better position now.
