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.
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.
BSG
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?
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.
all cards of value 1 count as positive, no matter the colour
So dump those reds, blues, and purples that never come up in skill checks!
BSG
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.
BSG
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!
BSG
With Boomer's play, current tally is 6. Adama has left COs:
Play P1, P1, G2.
Total:
10 - Pass (No effect)
Wrapping up the rest of the card:
Cylon activation:
Heavy Raiders (no effect)
Jump Prep Track:
Yes. You have reached the end of the track - Jump! Admiral Adama, I am sending you two destinations. Please post your choice.
Finally, that skill check exhausted the Destiny Deck. I have formed a new Destiny Deck. Doing this exhausted the Leadership Deck, so I've reshuffled the discards to replenish it.
