Positive cards, people! Let's not get crazy now.
I mean, throw in some Treachery just to be saucy if you want.
Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

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.

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.

The fleet jumps away from the Cylon Fleet and to Kobol! We have a die roll for Population loss. Everyone lasses on interrupts:
Die roll: 3. Fail! Population falls by 3! But it's still at 4, so everything's ok, right? Well, let's have a look behind the next door. Did anyone have any Personal Goals at game end? Why, yes. Yes they did. There were in fact three Personal Goals unrevealed. They were:
Baltar:
Sacrifice (Fuel) - Can reveal if 6 vipers damaged
Apollo:
Self-Destruction (Morale) - Can reveal if in Sickbay or the Brig
Zarek:
Devastation (Morale) - Can reveal if there are no nukes
Fuel falls by 1, and Morale by 2! The final values are:
Fuel: 2
Food: 7
Morale: 2
Population: 4
All resources are still positive. It's been seven games since I last had the chance to say this:
HUMANS WIN!
Congratulations humans. And you couldn't have done it (probably) without the help of your chrome-plated pilot. Does Athena get to share in the glory? A reminder of how this works. Athena has four motive cards. In order to win, she must have fulfilled the condition on at least three of them. Of her fulfilled motives, at least two must align her with the humans. She has already fulfilled one human motive, which she revealed when the FTL Control was damaged. Her other motives were:
Human Motive: At least 4 vipers are damaged or destroyed at game end
Cylon Motive: Food must be at least 2 at game end
Human Motive: Must have at least 1 Yellow, 1 Purple and 1 Blue in hand at game end
At game end, there are 5 damaged vipers and 1 destroyed. Food is at 7. Athena reveals the following cards in her hand:
Support the People 2
Critical Situation 3
Repair 1
Athena fulfils all four of her motives! Three of them were human-aligned.
HUMANS AND CYLON LEADER WIN!
