"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I can't play an IC. Would it be better for us to tank and then have me try to inspire some better morale? I can't play an SP either for that attempt.

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

BSG (Baltar)

Oh, that's an interesting idea! I couldn't help with the speechifying (or whatever) but I do have a superpower that I haven't used, let's remember.

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

BSG (Cally)

I hate to intentionally fail when a resource is on the line, but if fellow humans feel they can restore it, then lets do it.

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

BSG (Zarek)

Morale is at 5. Apollo suggests a speech with a 25% chance of success with no SP. Baltar will have to collect two miracle tokens to do his magic, and that could take a while, especially if we're attacked. I think we should go for the partial pass.

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

37.5% chance. Other than that, carry on.

BSG (Cally)

With out an IC, that will be difficult to accomplish. But I agree, with a 37% to restore, that's long odds.

BSG

The orders are in:

Mandatory Testing: 13 (9) YG

Destiny: 2 cards
Baltar: 1 card
Romo: 1 card
Hot Dog: 1 card
Apollo: 1 card
Athena: 1 card
Zarek: 1 card
Cally: 2 cards

Cards played:

Preventative Policy 3
Major Victory 1
Executive Order 1
Declare Emergency 3
At Any Cost 5
Strategic Planning 4
Full Throttle 2
Maximum Firepower 4
Calculations 5

Tally: 13 - 15 = -2. Fail! Cally can use her Quick Fix ability to remove the Calcs-5, but that still only raises it to 3. The result stands. Morale falls by 1!

As if you didn't have enough problems, the Centurion gets its first marching orders. On the plus side, the jump track advances. That concludes Cally's turn. Baltar's cards are going out. Baltarnate, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
