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

BSG (Kat out of the bag brig)

I would like to launch into sector 5 and move to Sector 4.

BSG(Air Traffic Zarek)

Uh, there's a civvie and a Raider in Sector 6. The civvie in Sector 4 won't be threatened for multiple turns.

BSG (Kat ass trophy)

Oh frak! Is it too late to change my launch coordinates to Sector 6.

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

BSG (Romo)

Yes, it is, sorry, humanity is doomed.

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

BSG

That's ok, nothing else has happened yet. You have an action remaining after launching. When you're ready, please post your orders.

BSG (Kat a tat tat)

Might as well Open Fire on that raider as long as I'm here and oh frak I can't Hotshot him since it's not my turn. I'll strategically plan to shoot him right in his oscillating red dot instead. SP-3

BSG

That's one way to do it, yes. With the SP-3 it's an automatic hit. Raider destroyed! Aww, just one lonely raider left. It should have company. Don't you think? ...What a pity, then, that Chief's crisis card is not an attack card. Did I say Chief? Sorry, I meant Batman. Or maybe I didn't. Chief's crisis card is:

Hidden Identity
Skill Check (12 YGP)

Oh, look, new raiders after all! But first there's the check. 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.

Pass on interrupts. I can help a lot.

Everyone passes on interrupts. Let's get underway.

Hidden Identity: 12 YGP

Destiny: 2 cards
Romo: 1 card
Zarek:
Kat: (COs received)
Chief: (COs received)

Zarek is up next.

BSG

Everyone's orders are in.

Hidden Identity: 12 YGP

Destiny: 2 cards
Romo: 1 card
Zarek: 3 cards
Kat: 1 card
Chief: 4 cards

Cards played:

Consolidate Power 1
Consolidate Power 1
Popular Influence 3
Executive Order 2
Declare Emergency 3
Change of Plans 5
State of Emergency 6
Launch Scout 1
Bait 0
Personal Vices 3
A Better Machine 3

Tally: 22 - 6 = 16. Pass! Chief's hidden identity can remain hidden. He's the maintenance crew Galactica deserves, but not the one it needs right now. But that doesn't mean he's safe. There's that full-size chipmunk outfit in his closet. Chief! Don't you know the Admiral has outlawed furries?! His Personal Vices see the Chief draw a third mutiny card, and he's off to the Brig after all. All the crew draw another Treachery card (someone had to tell on him, after all). Destiny, not to be outdone, adds two, courtesy of the ABM-3. And let's put another civvvie in Sector 4 as well, as Bait.

Treachery is going out, along with mutiny choices to Zarek.
