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.

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

BSG (Baltar)

Just to let y'all know, I'll be trapped in a hallucination for most of the day.

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

BSG (R.O.M.O)

You should listen to everything the nice lady tells you.

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

BSG (Cally)

We should go after that stowaway before she kills us all.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

So Morgan Webb is going to be joining the Penny Arcade guys for their live D&D session at Pax East. [link]

BSG (Gaius the Baltarific)

Okay! What do we need to do? Skies are clear, but we've got two cylon turns in a row, so, that'll be fun. No one is actually in the Armory at this point. Who's our President again, Apollo? Can you do anything about this centurion? Are those our only options for centurion control?

So, I could move to the Armory and take a shot. I could move to the Armory and have somebody else do something else. I could move somewhere else and have someone else do something else. Or I suppose I could stay where I am and have someone else do something else.

Bear in mind, it would probably be a good idea for me to start collecting miracle tokens whenever I can, so perhaps I could move to the Armory, Cally could join me and she can take a shot on the centurion? Or whoever, but she's the only one that wouldn't have to discard to get there, I think. And she probably doesn't need to be standing by in FTL.

Thoughts?

I don't think the Quorum can do much about our shiny visitor.
