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

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.

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

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.

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

BSG (Kat)

Frak, those are not my colors. I play 0 cards.

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

BSG ("Chief" Galen Tyrol)

I play 3 cards. Details sent.

Bring 'er home, Zarek. Hope we can pull it off without Kat.

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:

Consolidate Power 2
Consolidate Power 2
Consolidate Power 2
Preventative Policy 5
Major Victory 1
Declare Emergency 3
At Any Cost 3
Declare Emergency 3
Declare Emergency 5
Jury Rigged 2
Dradis Contact 0
Bait 0
Bait 0

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.

One crew member hasa confession to make - a confession of their seditious thoughts. I have dealt out the Mutineer card, and it has landed in the possession of The Chief. Chief draws a mutiny card, the choice of which to be determined by Citizen Zarek. Mutiny cards going out now.

Chief Tyrol draws a second loyalty card to replace the Mutineer card. Card is going out now.

Chief! How could you!

It's kind of unfair that Sleeper Phase still happens at Distance 4 when it's no longer the halfway point of our journey.

Well, of course. Adding 2 Distance is perfectly ok as long as it's done evenly.
