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

BSG ("Chief" Galen Tyrol)

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

MOVE: Main Batteries (just in case)

ACTION: Play XO-2 on Zarek.

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

BSG (Kat)

I could be called upon if we were in need of a plan.

"...and then Legolas and the Hulk destroy the entire Greek army." - Penny Arcade

BSG(Tommus Oratorius)

In that case, I will Move to Communications and deliver an Inspirational Speech.

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

BSG

Feel the inspiration! The roll may be modified by an SP. Everyone, please pass or play.

I think you should provide refreshments!

I play SP-3.

Refreshments! Good plan!

Die roll: 5 + 2 = 7. Pass! The fleet is refreshed! Morale rises by 1.

However, Kat's description of her culinary efforts as "a taste explosion" is starting to look a little suspicious. Chief's crisis card is:

Missing G4 Explosives
Skill Check (7 GP)

Possible interrupts: IC, SR, RO, ASC, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Romo plays first, Chief last.

BSG(Tom Scared)

Given that I have no cards and no one's in the Armory, I vote to TANK.

I hate to see food drop. It's not exactly high. I can't carry the check alone.

If Kat agrees, I reluctantly agree. But Kat, if you think you can take on the check, I can help some.

Frak unfortunately I put all my purple in the Kool-aid. I vote to TANK.

That's a consensus vote! Almost a consensus; Romo missed the memo and plays 1 card. Romo plus Destiny equals:

Establish Network 0
A Better Machine 3
Exploit Weakness 5

Tally: 0 - 8 = -8. Fail. The explosives show up in a bubbling stew of food supplies... and Treachery! Food falls to 6, which is the least interesting outcome of this check really. The ABM-3 means that two Treachery cards are shuffled into the destiny deck. The EW-5 means that Chief gets to choose one crew member to be the recipient of their very own mutiny card! Mr Tyrol, which of your colleagues could use a little more rebelliousness in their life?
