I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

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

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.

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

BSG (Kat)

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

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

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?

Mwahahahaha. Go Chief! Choose Chief! Choosy moms choose Chief!

Chief chooses Kat to entertain thoughts of revolution. Mutiny card options are going out to the Pradmiral for him to sanction the rebellion against him. Pradmiral Zarek, when you're ready, please let me know which card to give to Kat.

The decision is made. That concludes Chief's turn. Romo has chosen to draw 1 Red and 1 Treachery for his card draw. R.O.M.O., when you're ready, please post your move and action.

BSG (R.O.M.O.)

I activate Caprica and oh no, you guys, I know you're trying to get to Earth and all but I'm getting a strong vision of the Earth in Ruins.

Have fun with the check, Kat and Chief.

Good news! Romo activates Caprica, and he has a real estate deal for you! He's found a new planet for humanity. It's a bit of a fixer-upper, but has tremendous sentimental value. Romo's crisis card is:

Earth in Ruins
Current Player's Choice

Romo feels good about humanity's chances. He chooses the skill check. Possible interrupts: IC, SR, RO, ASC, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Zarek plays first, Romo last.
