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

BSG

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)

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.

Because Chief now has three mutiny cards, he must discard one. He discards Send a Message.

Next, the basestar launches three new raiders. That concludes Chief's turn. Thanks to the Treachery draw, he is one card over his hand limit. He discards Violent Outbursts 4.

Romo has opted to draw 1 Red and 1 Treachery. R.O.M.O., when you're ready, please post your move and action.

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

that ...could have been worse.

You want worse? I've got worse. Enjoy this Tactical Strike.

BSG

Yes, Romo has activated Caprica and found for you:

Tactical Strike
Cylon Attack

How dastardly! And he buried the Free Fuel and Puppies crisis card to do it! But I have some good news. This attack card is supposed to damage two ipers in the Reserves, but you're going to dodge a bullet there. All the vipers in Reserves are already damaged.

We still activate the existing raiders, who move into threatening positions, and then add many many new friends for the fleet. That concludes Romo's turn. Zarek's cards are going out. Pradmiral Zarek, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

I would like to activate Raiders again.

If I put it in bold, it happens, right?

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

BSG ("Chief" Galen Tyrol)

OK. Team Humans. We have a LOT on our plate. We need to get me out of the brig. Fix vipers. And blow up a lot of toasters!

Maybe it's time to use those nukes?
