The fruits of Cally's research have been sent, as the fleet nervously asks just what the hell kind of research was Cally doing in there? Cally's crisis card is:
Unexplained Deaths
Skill Check (8 GP)
Possible interrupts: IC, SR, RO, ASC, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Baltar plays first, Cally last.
BSG (Apollo)
No interrupts.
I can help.
BSG (Cally)
Pardon the interruption. I play IC 4 to see what everyone is playing.
I can either play nothing, or play A LOT.
BSG (Apollo)
Great! Keeping us honest.
BSG (Romo)
I can't help at all.
BSG
Athena plays a Scientific Research 4. Blue is now positive for this check. Everyone else passes on interrupts. The check begins!

Baltar has contributed an EN-0. Now, not only is Blue positive, but all Blue cards will count for double their printed value. (However, we're still waiting for any positive cards, so running tally = 0.) Hot Dog is up next.
BSG (Baltar)
Hey, someone turned my "probable no help" into "maybe some help"! Still only maybe, though.

I now have COs from everyone. Let's see what we've got:
Unexplained Deaths:
8 GP(B)
Destiny:
2 cards
Baltar:
Establish Network 0
Romo:
0 cards
Hot Dog:
Unorthodox Plan 3
Apollo:
At Any Cost 3, Launch Scout 1
Athena:
Raptor Specialist 4
Zarek:
0 cards
Cally:
0 cards
Thanks to the EN-0, the RS-4 counts for double points. Running tally: 15 + Destiny. Will Destiny cost you 7 points? Alas, it gives the old college try, but to no avail:
Consolidate Power 1
Run Interference 4
Tally: 15 - 5 = 10. And just to add insult to injury, Cally uses her Quick Fix to toss the RI-4. Final tally: 14. Pass!
So you'll all be happy to know that all those deaths had a perfectly reasonable explanation. The fact that Cally saw fit to explain her actions while rubbing her sidearm against her cheek had nothing to do with it, I'm sure.
Speaking of Cally, she has been made Mission Specialist; and the fleet jumps! Destinations sent (all three of them) Cally, when you're ready, please post your choice.
