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

BSG

Um. I don't know what I should be trying to do here?

Well, obviously you should be trying to entertain me, which means MAXIMUM 'SPLOSIONS. I'm not really sure how that works in this context, but see what you can come up with.

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

BSG (Baltar)

In a surprise maneuver, I ignore the skillcheck, slap some duct tape on the Armoury, and fire on the centurion. Take that William the Bastard!

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

BSG (Zarek)

Oh, I forgot about Destiny.

Our target is 6, so we need a little help, but not too much help, because why waste cards.

We want 6, we're at 12, and we've got one cylon and destiny still to play into the check. OK, I pass. My limited skills are best applied elsewhere.

With that I have everyone's play, and let's throw Destiny in there too. Cards played:

Terrorist Investigations: 12 YG(B)

Destiny: Investigative Committee 5, Unorthodox Plan 4
Hot Dog: Dradis Contact 0
Apollo: Calculations 4
Athena: Executive Order 2
Zarek: Declare Emergency 3
Cally: Jury Rigged 1, Jury Rigged 2
Baltar: 0 cards
Romo: Bait 0

Tally: 17 - 4 = 13. Pass! Romo gets to look at someone's loyalty card. He chooses Apollo, who currently holds three loyalty cards. Now, I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is you all get to look at his loyalty card! The bad news is that Apollo is one of the:

Final Five (Damage Galactica)

That's going to be two damage. Romo has chosen to allocate both damage to Galactica. He hits:

Weapons Control
FTL Control

You weren't using those, were you? One person who wasn't is Athena, who reveals one of her motive cards:

End the Chase (Human motive)
Reveal this card if FTL Control or Admirals Quarters is damaged.

One person who was is Cally, who was in Weapons Control at the time and now moves to Sickbay.

The check also contained two Treachery cards, which together add two raiders in Sector 1 and one civilian ship in Sector 4. Finally, the jump track advances. That concludes Romo's turn. Hot Dog has opted to draw 1 Red and 1 Blue. Hot Dog, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

I had a very bad feeling something like that would happen, which is why I did NOT want to pass. Good call on passing, Baltar. I should have passed too. THANKS A LOT DESTINY.

I was confused but I didn't see anything but colors and realized it must have been a mistake, so I deleted.
