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

OK team Humans. Push the button? Or one of you want an XO? I'm thinking nobody is in danger with an activation, so pushing the button would be an unnecessary risk. Maybe wait one more turn for that.

Also, I'm at 2 Mutiny Cards. If we draw a jump icon, I get a third, and head to the slammer. One of them might be helpful... Maybe.

If we want to jump, stay on Pegasus and XO me. The only reason to wait would be to avoid the small chance of Robo throwing a Cylon Attack Crisis at us right after we jump. We need to reach the finish line FAST, before our Morale bottoms out.

Or, y'know, keep yourself out of the Brig. That's always a good plan.

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

BSG (Kat)

I'm in favor of pushing the button. So what if some ships in the fleet can't mobilize fast enough? We can spare 'em.

MOVE: I stay put.

Gods help us. Please have morale and fuel boosts.

Interesting! I hope this does something bad.

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

BSG

Very, very bad! It lets them draw Quorum cards. Oh, the humanity.

Chief, when you're ready, let me know which two Quorum cards to bury.

Quorum cards are done, so now it's time for Chief's crisis. This looks entirely appropriate for the mutiny-playing Mutineer's turn. Chief's crisis card is:

Incitement to Mutiny
Skill Check (13 YGP)

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.

Everyone passes on interrupts. The check begins!

Incitement to Mutiny: 13 (7) YGP

Destiny: 2 cards
Romo: 0 cards
Zarek:
Kat:
Chief:

Zarek is up next.

Administrative note: Destiny's play into this check reduced the destiny deck to 6 cards. I've replenished and reshuffled it. This exhausted the Treachery deck. I've reshuffled the discards.

Into the Destiny deck, right?
