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.

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.
BSG (Cally)
BSG (Apollo)
Ok, guys, it sounds pretty solid, so I'm going to lay out on this one.
Yeah, that wasn't what I would call solid. Thanks to Zarek for saving our asses there. Nice job! That was a little too close. On the upside, at least we didn't waste a lot of cards over shooting.
I'm a bit hesitant to break a Cylon leader out of sickbay. Not quite sure where her loyalties are at. But I agree, hopefully, we jump before anything puts us in harms way.
BSG (Apollo)
Sheesh, I guess you're right! You all really meant "a little," didn't you? Anyway, good teamwork again.
I think right now Athena's been playing human, so as long as she'd like to continue that trend it might make sense to spring her.
Otherwise, shooting, shooting's always good.
(BSG) Athena
I love humans! Especially sexy ones. And I would love to get out of Sickbay and help the sexy humans.
BSG
Gaius Baltar reveals where he sees himself on the sexy divide. His orders are:
Move to Communications
Play Executive Order 1 on Athena
Athena, you have received an XO. You may either move and take an action, or not move and take two actions. When you're ready, please post your orders.
BSG (Athena)
Go Team Humanity!
Okay a question before I shake off the sick bay dust - do you guys need me to be super action-y this turn or can I get myself into a better position for future helpfulness?
