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 have everyone's play, and it's going to be one of those checks.

Jump Computer Failure: 7 PB

Destiny: 0 cards
Athena: 1 card
Zarek: 1 card
Cally: 2 cards
Baltar: 2 cards
Romo: 1 card
Hot Dog: 1 card
Apollo: 3 cards

Cards played:

Launch Scout 2
Establish Network 0
Install Upgrades 0
Repair 1
Build Nuke 6
All Hands on Deck 0
Iron Will 0
Run Interference 5
Bait 0
Bait 0
Violent Outbursts 4

Tally: 9 - 9 = 0. Fail! However, I'm cheating a bit there, because I've so far ignored all the 0-value cards in the check. Let's add them back. First, there's an AHD-0. That adds 1 point for every 0-value card, for a total of 6. Seriously. Then there's the EN-0, which doubles the value of all Blue cards. That's another 7 points! Final result:

Tally: 22 - 9 = 13. Pass!

We're not done there, though. There's an IU-0 too. Since the check passed, Apollo draws 2 Blue cards! But there's something in here for everyone, and thanks to the Treachery, we land one civilian ship in Sector 4 and one President in Sickbay.

That's a lot of cards right there. 11 cards in total. You must all be feeling a bit card-poor now. But Baltarnate has some ideas about that. He plays the Change of Plans 5. Every human player (including Athena) may now draw 2 skill cards! They must come from your regular skill set. Everyone, please post your choice of colour(s).

One last piece of business, and that is that this check was made Reckless. The top Treachery card is:

Bait 0

Result! We get a second civvie in Sector 4, and we turn upt another Treachery:

Violent Outbursts 4

Well, that sucks. We can't send Apollo to Sickbay twice.

At last, that concludes the check. Everyone, send me your card draw orders and we'll wrap up the turn.

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

BSG (Zarek)

Ha ha, wow, it really was one of those checks! Nice. Thanks, Baltarnate! I'll take 1G/1P.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Apollo)

Wow, that was a lot of action. I choose 1G/1Y.

That just leaves Baltar. ...Who played the CoP-5 himself, and forgot to add COs. Oops.

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

BSG (Baltar)

Oops! 2G please.

And that's everyone! Cards have gone out. That concludes Apollo's action-filled turn. Athena has opted to draw 1 Green, 1 Red and 1 Blue. Athena, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
