OK, I'll do what I can.
Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

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

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.

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)
Destiny:
2 cards
Zarek:
Exploit Weakness 5
Cally:
Launch Scout 1, A Better Machine 3
Baltar:
Personal Vices 3, Personal Vices 3
Romo:
Run Interference 4
Hot Dog:
Launch Reserves 5
Apollo:
All Hands on Deck 0, Bait 0, Exploit Weakness 5
Athena:
Bait 0
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.

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

Go Team Human and thank you, Destiny!
It's unfortunate that Athena ended up in Sickbay because we're going to lose a civvie, but, ugh, we're so close. Like, literally if I draw an XO, we win the game (Cally repairs FTL, I don't draw a Crisis since I'm in the Brig, Cally activates FTL, the end). If I don't...I will have to think about what to do to ensure we win the game.

I recommend not losing civvie B.
