Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

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

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.)

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

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.

OK, I'll do what I can.

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.

Romo: Run Interference 4

Running tally: 15 - 9 = 6 + Destiny. I have COs from Apollo, but there's one point I need to clarify with him.

The AHD-0, along with the B-0, adds 2 to the tally:

Running tally: 22 - 9 = 13 + Destiny. Apollo's play might affect Athena's COs too, so I need to check those with her.

I have everyone's play:

Crippled Raider: 10 PB(T)

Running tally: 23 - 9 = 14 + Destiny. If Destiny contributes 5 or more negative points, the check will fail! It reveals:

Scientific Research 3
A Better Machine 3

Tally: 29 - 9 = 20. Pass! The jump track advances one space!

That's all well and good, but now we have a buttload of card effects to deal with, courtesy of the massive Treachery used to pass this thing. Let's go lowest to highest.

Bait 0: We add another civvie to Sector 4. It now contains ships A, B and I (and a basestar and a raider).

A Better Machine 3: Two Treachery cards get shuffled into Destiny.

Personal Vices 3: Now things get interesting. Each human player draws a Treachery card; the current player, Athena, draws a mutiny card as well. This is her second mutiny card - Athena is sent to the Brig!

Exploit Weakness 5: Athena must choose a human player to draw a mutiny card. Athena, when you're ready, please post your choice.

I'll pause and take care of all this before we move on. Next up: Reckless check!

Treachery and Athena's mutiny card sent out. Once I have Athena's choice for receiving another mutiny card, we can do the Recklessness.
