I can only help a very little.

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

BSG (Cally)

I'm not sure I can play into this check. I'm not allowed to play one card, and I only have one card.

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

I can only help a little

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

BSG (Baltar)

I can help.

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

BSG

Everyone passes on interrupts. The check begins! Most people have put in COs too:

Rallying Support: 8 YP

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

Zarek is next. (Note that Cally is unable to play into this check, so it's just Zarek and Baltar to go.)

Apologies, there's an issue with one player's contribution. I'm just sorting that out now.

Hmm, we are looking sketchy.

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

BSG (Zarek)

I play 1 card.

BSG

We are good to go. The play:

Rallying Support: 8 YP

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

Cards played:

Consolidate Power 1
Consolidate Power 1
Preventative Policy 3
Popular Influence 4
Launch Scout 1
Repair 2
Calculations 3

Tally: 10 - 5 = 5. Fail! Ooh, I was hoping for this. Not that I have anything against all of you, but now we get to do some cool stuff. Let's see what we have.

  • Population falls by 1. That means that Hot Dog's special ability kicks in. He draws the top 3 Red cards and keeps two of them. Cards going out now.

  • Baltar draws a mutiny card. Now Zarek's special ability kicks in. He looks at the top 2 mutiny cards and chooses which one goes to Baltar. Cards going out now.

  • Baltar also draws a Treachery card. Nothing else has to happen here; the new Treachery is always cool.

  • Finally, the raiders activate, but no one cares because the jump track reaches the end and the fleet jumps! Destinations will go out to Admiral Zarek once we've completed the other decisions.
