Apologies, there's an issue with one player's contribution. I'm just sorting that out now.
Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

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

Hmm, we are looking sketchy.

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

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.

Frakking Destiny. But that is an exciting loss, at least! All these cards to go out!

It is indeed an exciting loss, and there's one last twist. Hot Dog drew three Red cards and is then supposed to discard one of them. But at this point, Athena can use her special ability, For Love (she did it aaall FOOOR LOOOOOOOVE). This allows her to reduce another player's discards by one card by drawing a Treachery card for herself. She opts to do so; Hot Dog keeps all three Red cards! Athena's Treachery is going out now.

After al this, jumping feels a bit anticlimactic. But it happens, and Admiral Zarek has chosen your destination. It is:
Gas Giant
1 Distance
Zarek has opted not to exchange a viper for Fuel. That concludes Baltar's turn. Romo's cards are going out. Romo Lampkin, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Wow! That was a lot of stuff happening.
