We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

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

BSG

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.

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

BSG

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?


Volans - Jun 13, 2009 7:04:30 am PDT #2262 of 26133
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!

Ninja'd by a dying woman! I have some COs too. So, state of play is:

Destiny: P2, R1
Roslin: Y5
Baltar: Y1
Apollo: Nothing (Tally: 5)
Boomer:
Adama:

Boomer is up next. All 1-value cards count positive, regardless of colour.

Ooo! Good to know! I play a Blue 1 card then, and happily know I'm helping not hurting. Adama, you are a true inspiration!
