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

BSG (Zarek)

I play IC-4 for kicks.

Just throw all your cards into the check, folks. Let's go out with a bang.

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

BSG

There you are people, Zarek says throw in all your cards! Treachery, Piloting...

This check just got interesting.

Positive cards, people! Let's not get crazy now.

I mean, throw in some Treachery just to be saucy if you want.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Since I'm Admiral now, I'm playing it safe. Don't want to tempt the Gods. If you dance with the devil, sometimes you get burned. Judging by all the shit I need to fix, I think we've been burned enough, thank you very much.

Er, perhaps we should try a teensy bit harder, guys.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I play Negotiation 5 and CP2.

BSG

Right then, here we go:

An Offer of Peace: 12 (6) YG

Destiny: 2 cards
Baltar: Executive Order 2
Romo: Dradis Contact 0
Hot Dog: Test the Limits 5
Apollo: Consolidate Power 2, Negotiation 5
Athena: Executive Order 1
Zarek: Investigative Committee 4
Cally: Declare Emergency 3, At Any Cost 4

Running tally: 21 - 5 = 16 + Destiny. And Destiny is:

Repair 2
Personal Vices 3

Destiny punishes you to the tune of 5 points. Tally drops to 11! But Zarek steps in with a Declare Emergency 5. The check passes!

We have some other dribs and drabs to take care of. The DC-0 adds raiders to Sector 1, the PV-3 gives everyone more Treachery (and Cally a mutiny card). Then the basestars launch raiders, rather than going on the offensive right away. But who cares? It is a decision they might regret, as Baltar has left his orders:

Move to FTL Control
The button, he hits that

What happens next? Details in the next post.
