But your selfless sacrifice is why we keep electing you!
Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

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

Speaking of selfless sacrifice, Athena goes up against the basestar! Well, adjacent to it anyway. Her orders:
Move to Sector 4
Play Maximum Firepower 3 against the raiders
Fury: unleashed.
Fire 1: 7. Hit!
Fire 2: 8. Hit!
Fire 3: 2. Miss.
Fire 4: 5. Hit!
Three raiders destroyed! Wait, two raiders destroyed, and one winged. Athena's crisis card is:
Crippled Raider

Nice shooting!
That would be a nice skill check to pass, but I would not be able to help.

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

Okay, we need to pass this skill check. And I think we can do it easily if, say, Treachery were positive. Because we all just drew a bunch of Treachery. I can only play one card, but you guys all have 2 cards. If we pass the check, then Cally can repair FTL and Baltar can jump us away.
Let's do it. We can do it.

Interesting proposition. I like this idea.
Eta: Treachery, even if positive for the check, can carry some ill effects.

Orders from Athena: Take the skill check. Orders from Zarek: Play IC-3 and AAC-3. This check is now Reckless. All Treachery counts positive for this check. All cards will be played face up (except Destiny). Everyone else passes on interrupts. The check begins! Zarek goes first, and plays an EW-5. Check stands at 5; Cally is next to play. (I'm past my bedtime, I'll do the proper formatting tomorrow morning.)

They're effects we can handle if we're thiiiiis close to winning. My play will give someone a Mutiny card, but plenty of people have no Mutiny cards. Other ones will add more Treachery to Destiny or our hands. And one will send someone to Sickbay, but if Cally can Repair on her turn and we survive her Crisis, we win, so who cares.
LET'S DO THIS.

While we await Cally's play, I have COs from some people already. If you haven't put any COs in, feel free to get on that.
