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

BSG

Oh, Romo. They trusted you! I'm not 100% sure who, but they did. Romo receives two Treachery and a destination card. Romo, when you're ready, let me know whether to put the destination card on the top or the bottom of the deck.

Romo keeps the destination on top. The deceit just keeps on coming; Romo's crisis card is:

Dishonest Tactics
President's Choice

President Romo, when you're ready, please post your choice.

I choose Option 2 since Option 1 doesn't give us any added benefit.

Oh, I forgot about missions! We should do one of those now before we get attacked again.

Fuel falls by 1, but the President's got his to the tune of two Quorum cards, so what does he care? As Romo's turn of duplicity comes to an end, the President still has 11 cards. He discards A Better Machine 3.

That concludes Romo's turn. Zarek's cards are going out. Citizen Zarek, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Didn't one of those Crises have jump prep?

BSG(Tom on a Mission)

Does it seem like we're accumulating Jump prep faster than usual? Or have we just been lucky with Crises?(Knock wood).

Anyway, I will Discard TI-0 to move to the bridge of the Demetrius and Draw a Mission.

No whammies, no whammies!

Ooooh. Citizen Zarek is a man on a mission! That mission being:

Digging up the Past
Skill Check (14 YG)

Fleetsters, grab a shovel. Distance is on the line! Note that if this check passes, it will increase Distance to 4 and trigger the Sleeper Phase.

As with all mission checks, interrupts may not be played. The check begins!

Digging up the Past: 14 YG

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

Kat is up first.

Will it? It sounds like that only happens when we jump.

I can help a lot on this check, so let's do this.

Yes, I thought so too; but page 15 of the rules states explicitly that the Distance is added immediately.
