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

BSG (Kat)

Ugh! Let's resolve Sector 6 first.

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

BSG

And by resolve, she means play Run Interference 4. All three raiders miss! Buck up, little raiders, you have reinforcements coming from Sector 1.

Then there's the lone raider in Sector 5, who fires:

Raider 1 and only: 4. Miss.

Good result for the humans, but more Cylons are on their way. We add ships to the board. This is an unusual situation, to resolve a Cylon attack card mid-turn. I shall post the current state of play in space to assist in people's plans.

Does anyone have a plan to help with my aim?

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

BSG ("Chief" Galen Tyrol)

I am plan less.

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

BSG (Romo)

This would be much easier if you people would just die.

Hey, maybe they will. The ABF comes with a die roll for that. First off, three raiders go poof. Will any humans join them? Everyone passes on interrupts:

Die roll: 4. Pass!

Ladies and gentlemen, that concludes our State of Emergency. It's been awfully exciting, and I hope none of you overdid it. We should probably get everyone checked. Kat's crissi card is:

Mandatory Testing
Skill Check (13 YG)

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

While I think we should go for the partial pass I unfortunately can't help at all.
