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.
BSG (Romo)
Note that if this check passes, it will increase Distance to 4 and trigger the Sleeper Phase.
Will it? It sounds like that only happens when we jump.
I can help a lot on this check, so let's do this.
BSG
Will it? It sounds like that only happens when we jump.
Yes, I thought so too; but page 15 of the rules states explicitly that the Distance is added immediately.
BSG
Administrative note: Destiny's play into this check has reduced the destiny deck to 6 cards. I've repleneished and reshuffled it. That in turn exhausted the Politics deck; I've reshuffled the discards.
BSG (Romo)
Yes, I thought so too; but page 15 of the rules states explicitly that the Distance is added immediately.
That's weird. So we're going to hit Sleeper Phase in the middle of a jump cycle. That should be interesting.
BSG (Kat)
Frak, those are not my colors. I play 0 cards.
BSG
We're off to a roaring start. Chief is next.
BSG ("Chief" Galen Tyrol)
I play 3 cards. Details sent.
BSG (Romo)
I play 6 cards.
Bring 'er home, Zarek. Hope we can pull it off without Kat.
BSG
That's everyone:
Digging up the Past:
14 YG
Destiny:
2 cards
Kat:
0 cards
Chief:
3 cards
Romo:
6 cards
Zarek:
2 cards
Is it enough? Cards played:

Tally: 26 - 2 = 24. Pass! Distance increases to 4, which means that we've just hit Sleeper Phase! New loyalty cards are going out now.
