I'm going to pass this time, Zarek. I really think this check can be handled without me. I appreciate your input, but I'm going to hold onto my cards.

I play 0 cards.

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

BSG

Athena is next.

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

BSG (Zarek)

You know your cards best, Apollo. I'll cover us.

Running tally: 6 + Destiny. If the total finishes in the range 2-5, there will be no effect. If it is 0 or less, the fleet loses 2 Morale (and everyone discards and draws Treachery). Baltar is next.

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

BSG (Baltar)

OK! AHOD-0 and CP-2

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

Sorry for the delay, I play IC-3

That brigs the tally to 13. What might Destiny have to say to that? It adds:

Executive Order 1
Establish Network 0

How very tepid. Thanks to the AHoD-0, this is worth another 2 points. Final tally: 15. Pass! Population rises by 1!

Jolly good show, congratulations and all that. But once again, the crew turned to the Reckless side to achieve their success. Will they get away with it again? The top card of the Treachery deck is:

Bait 0

There will be retribution! Oh yes there will. A civilian ship appears behind Galactica. We also turn up the next Treachery card, which is:

Personal Vices 3

Oh, now it gets fun. Everyone draws 1 Treachery! Going out now. In addition, the current player (Romo Lampkin) draws a mutiny card! Here Zarek's special ability kicks in. He will have a choice of two mutiny cards, one of which to go to Romo. Admiral Zarek, when you're ready, please let me know which card goes to Romo.
