Alas, hands shall now go unforced. But since
so many
of the crew are currently sitting around and waiting for something to shoot at, I simply must oblige. Athena's crisis card is:
The Olympic Carrier
Skill Check (11 YGR)
What, you thought it'd be Cylon ships? This is more fun, in that will they/won't they kind of way. Possible interrupts: IC, SR, RO, ASC, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Zarek plays first, Athena last.
BSG (Apollo)
I interrupt! This has all been very nice, failing checks and whatnot, but I'd rather, you know, pass them. So I
play IC3
to keep our hypothetical Cylon honest and to keep us from overplaying or underplaying ourselves.
BSG (Cally)
Grrr, I am really hating this no-one-card thing. I'm afraid I can't help at all.
BSG
Everyone else passes on interrupts. The check begins:
The Olympic Carrier:
11 (8) YGR
Destiny:
2 cards
Zarek:
Executive Order 1
Cally:
0 cards
Baltar:
Popular Influence 3, Declare Emergency 3
Romo:
Investigative Committee 3
Hot Dog:
Evasive Manoeuvre 2, Evasive Manoeuvre 2
Apollo:
Athena:
Running tally: 14 + Destiny. Pass! (Maybe.)
Apollo is up next.
BSG (Zarek)
Uh. So Hot Dog is a Cylon? I was right about that? So much for giving him the benefit of the doubt.
BSG (Hot Dog)
WTH, according to the frakking email Red is positive for this check.
eta
Yeah, it's Red positive in the check, and even in the math in the post it shows my cards as positive. So far nothing has been negative in this check. So yeah, not a toaster. Nice try.
BSG (Baltar)
According to the tally, also. The red cards have to be positive for us to have 14. I'm sure that's just a typo.
