I recommend not losing civvie B.

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

BSG

Athena chooses Zarek to receive the EW-5 mutiny draw. After all, he's already in the Brig, so why not? Mutiny card options have been sent to Zarek. When you're ready, please let me know which one you keep, and then which of your three mutiny cards you discard.

The last order of business from this skill check is: Reckless! We'd best check the Treachery deck. The top card is:

Bait 0

We have some action! Unfortunately, all the civilian ships are already on the board, so we can't add any more. We can however turn up the next Treachery card:

Violent Outbursts 4

Athena goes to Sickbay! Or she would, but she's already in the Brig. Ok, no action after all. Bah.

Never mind that, because we have a raider activation! Athena's brigging has left the civvies of Sector 4 exposed. One shall be destroyed! Athena takes Apollo's suggestion; it destroys Civilian ship A. It contains:

1 Population

The others move into position for future shenanigans. Finally the jump track advances (again). It is now into the Blue! That concludes Athena's turn. Zarek's cards are going out. Mutineer Zarek, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

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

BSG (Zarek)

Grr. Sadly, I did not draw an XO, so we haven't won yet. Have to think about how to ensure we do.

Okay, I think the best thing I can do to help is LS-1 the Crisis Deck. Let's hope I we get something good for what should be our Final Crisis.

Everyone passes on interrupts. Scouts away!

Die roll: 7. Pass! Card going out now. Mr Zarek, when you're ready, please post whether to put it on the top or the bottom of the deck.

Keep that Crisis.

Cally, stand by to Repair. Baltar, stand by to press the button.

We're almost home.

Zarek keeps the crisis! Is this hubris? I hope it's hubris. Meanwhile, since Zarek is in the Brig, there's no crisis on his turn. We go straight to Cally's turn, and she's currently in Sickbay, so she draws just one card. She has opted to draw Green. Card going out now.

I have orders from Cally: Move to FTL Control and play a Repair-2 to repair it. FTL is ready for activation! And the Cylons don't like it. They request a time out! Cally's crisis card is:

An Offer of Peace
Skill Check (12 YG)

Possible interrupts: IC, SR, RO, ASC, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Baltar plays first, Cally last.
