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 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.

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

BSG (Zarek)

Uh. So Hot Dog is a Cylon? I was right about that? So much for giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Our wings are not tired

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.

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

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.

Yes, as evidenced by the fact that it was also the wrong pass level. And name. Everyone so far has played positively into this check.

Whew, that makes much more sense.

HAHAHA we are all paying so much attention!

Eh, I don't have to pay attention anymore; Cally's picking the next Destination. She's basically honorary Admiral right now.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Apollo)

Ok, I play CV4.

That now puts you 7 over the pass level. I have COs from Athena that are fairly ambiguous, but the situation is I think clear-cut enough to say that she plays 0 cards. Let's add Destiny and see how you did:

The Olympic Carrier: 11 (8)

Destiny: Executive Order 2, Investigative Committee 4
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: Combat Veteran 4
Athena: 0 cards

Tally: 24. Pass! Oh look, there's all the good destiny cards. I'm not actually sure what success in this check looks like. Do you not shoot it down? Shoot it down where no one else can see? Declare it to be Colonial Day and promise a fireworks spectacular? Whatever it is, you've got it, so congratulations!

Finally, the jump track advances. That concludes Athena's turn. Zarek's cards are going out. Admiral Zarek, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
