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
Current Player's Choice
Athena, when you're ready, please post your choice.

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

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.
BSG (Baltar)
Interesting proposition. I like this idea.
Eta: Treachery, even if positive for the check, can carry some ill effects.
BSG
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.)
BSG (Zarek)
Eta: Treachery, even if positive for the check, can carry some ill effects.
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.
BSG (Baltar)
OK, I'll do what I can.
BSG
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.
BSG
Current state of play:
Crippled Raider:

Destiny:

Cally:
Launch Scout 1, A Better Machine 3
Baltar:
