as my sister's Venezuelan ex boyfriend used to sing... take your broaching belt and put your helmet on!

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

OK, I know this isn't the kind of edge-of-the-seat action that everyone was hoping for, but for my turn I will move to Command and launch 2 vipers out of the aft launch tube into Sector 6.
That puts 3 RSVs in that sector with the two civvie ships, which means that we will have to get multiple Raider activations before jumping in order for the civvie ships to be hit.
The civvies are in Sector 5, I assume that's where you want the Vipers?
Meanwhile, here is your crisis card:
Witch Hunt (Skill Check 10 YG)
It has a card attached to it from Boomer. Inside it reads, "She turned me into a newt!"
We will pause for interrupts (IC and SR). You have twelve hours to play or pass.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Boomer does not interrupt.

I'm sorry, what was th-
"Boomer does not interrupt."
Wait a moment, are you sayi--
"BOOMER DOES NOT INTERRUPT!"
Look, if you could just let me fini--
"BOOMER DOES NOT INTERRUPT!"
...Ok, no interrupts from Boomer. I do, however, have an interrupt from Roslin:
Roslin plays Yellow-4: Investigative Committee
All cards will be played openly in this Skill Check, starting with the Destiny Deck.
Remaining possible interrupt is Scientific Research. Boomer's already passed, we only need to hear from Baltar.

Sorry I was talking to... no one. I was having a little nap is all. No interrupts from me.
eta- as usual I can help a little on the skill check.

Skill check begins! As an IC has been played, all cards are played face up. The order is as follows:
Destiny:
P2, R1 (Tally: -3)
Roslin:
Baltar:
Apollo:
Boomer:
Adama:
President Roslin, what do you want to play?

move out and draw fire
BSG
Actually, since it's Adama's crisis card draw, and he is an Inspirational Leader, we're just at -2 from the Destiny Deck.

Bah. I'd forgotten about that. Indeed; as this is a skill check from a crisis card drawn by Admiral Adama, all cards of value 1 count as positive, no matter the colour.
The current tally is therefore -1, President Roslin to play.
Volans - Jun 13, 2009 7:12:39 am PDT #2265 of 26133

So dump those reds, blues, and purples that never come up in skill checks!
