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

BSG (Curious Kat)

Oh good. I wasn't sure. I will activate the Research Lab and draw one blue.

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

Card sent. And now, the main attraction. If Zarek's crisis card has a raider activation, they will destroy two civilian ships! It is:

Medical Breakthrough
Skill Check (12 YGB)

The civvvies breathe easy for another turn! Possible interrupts: IC, RO, ASC, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Kat plays first, Zarek last.

I can only help a little. Do we want to just try for the partial pass?

Zarek plays 1 card. Here's the play:

Investigative Committee 4
Executive Order 2
Restore Order 4
At Any Cost 4
Scientific Research 4
Strategic Planning 3
Violent Outbursts 4

Tally: 18 - 7 = 11. Partial Pass! No effect. Alas, you are 1 short of everyone drawing a card. That puts it within DE range, if one is forthcoming. Everyone, please pass or play.

Everyone passes on DEs. The check has no effect. Almost no effect! The VO-4 sends Zarek to Sickbay. But aside from that.

Finally, the heavy raider sidles up to Sector 4. That concludes Zarek's turn. Kat's cards are going out. Kat, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

BSG(Round-Heels Zarek)

The VO-4 sends Zarek to Sickbay.

Oh for frak's sake. Cottle's going to start charging me rent.

Kat, dare I hope you've got an XO that will get me out of here and into the Button Room?

We don't want me to be the one pushing the button on account of my mad button pushing skillz?
