Great! Keeping us honest.

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

BSG (Romo)

I can't help at all.

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

Athena plays a Scientific Research 4. Blue is now positive for this check. Everyone else passes on interrupts. The check begins!

Destiny: 2 cards
Baltar:
Romo: 0 cards
Hot Dog:
Apollo: (COs received)

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.

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

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.

Cally has chosen, and you are headed for a Remote Planet. Not that you should find her desire for no witnesses to be in any way unsettling. That concludes Cally's turn. Baltar's cards are going out. Baltarnate, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

OK, here we are all remote and whatnot. What now? Zarek, you were asking for an XO before we jumped, too late now?
