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

Ick. I hate "No effect" crisis cards. Then again it's better than a less bad passing effect.

It's a low threshold. I'm running low on cards in those colors. How's everyone else doing? Who can help/not help?

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

BSG (Romo)

I can help a little, but I can also do this: StP-1.

I'll take 2P.

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

BSG

An StP only allows you to draw more cards if you currently have four cards or fewer. Presently that's just Romo. Chief has five cards, so if he plays an interrupt then he would qualify too. Kat and Zarek are pretty much out of range.

Play a card, and get two? OK. I wasn't going to do it for this low of a threshold, but, a 2-for-1 deal?

I play SR 3 so Blue counts positive.

I will draw (2) Yellow, please.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

BSG (Kat)

I can help a little

BSG Everyone else passes on interrupts. StP cards have gone out. This check is now Reckless. It begins:

Rallying Support: 8 YP

Destiny: 2 cards
Kat: 2 cards
Chief:
Romo:
Zarek:

Chief is up next.

Zarek plays two cards as well. Let's see if it's enough to keep him out of pokey. Cards played:

Consolidate Power 2
Consolidate Power 2
Launch Scout 1
Launch Scout 1
Launch Scout 1
Launch Scout 1
Launch Scout 2
Iron Will 0
Evasive Manoeuvre 1
Dradis Contact 0

Tally: 10 - 1 = 9. Pass! Zarek remains free! No effect, but we add two raiders to Sector 1. However, on the way to achieving this result, the check was made Reckless. Will the crew pay? The top card of the Treachery deck is:

Dradis Contact 0

Two more raiders! And the next card is:

Personal Vices 3

Oops. Everyone draws another Treachery card, and Zarek pulls a second mutiny card. Zarek is heading to the Brig after all! Cards going out, including a selection of mutiny for Zarek to choose from.
