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

(People wonder how Hoshi got to be Admiral. His demeaner is more sailor than commander. It helps that the uniform hides the tattoo of the nude lady who dances when he flexes his muscle)

There's a nude lady who dances when you flex your muscle? And you got a tattoo of her?

...You have just one muscle?!

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

BSG (got a Helo-t of love)

With an XO I could make with the pew-pew but yeah, not a lot of good against a basestar. What about moving to Pegasus CIC?

Our wings are not tired

BSG (Night at the Apollo)

Well I'd definitely like to use the XO since my special ability still allows me to activate a location and my plan to to move to Colonial One so that I can start to pump the system for quorum cards.

BSG (Lee)

Ok, well I MOVE to the quorum chamber and then I XO Hoshi.

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

BSG (Hoshi)

MOVE To Command.

ACTION Launch 2 RSV'S into sector 5.

Apollo discards an Evasive Manoeuvre 1 to move to Colonial 1. After Hoshi finishes with his XO, Apollo uses his ability to activate the Quorum Chamber. The first Quorum card is going out. Apollo may now draw another one, or play one from his hand. President Apollo, when you're ready, please post your orders.

Apollo draws a second Quorum. Let's judge the crowd's reaction, and everyone's a critic. Apollo's crisis card is:

Reactor Critical
Skill Check (7 PRB)

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

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

BSG (Baltar)

Well, I can't help at all, and even the Pass is bad, but we don't want to lose Fuel so early on, bah.

BSG

Those who can, help, while those who can't, interrupt. Hoshi plays a Jury Rigged 2. This check is now Reckless, and the DC has been reduced to 3!

Everyone else passes on interrupts. The check begins! I have some COs from people, but given the sharp reduction in DC, I'll ask everyone to confirm their play. Baltar goes first:

Reactor Critical: 3 PRB

Destiny: 2 cards
Baltar:
Hoshi:
Helo:
Apollo:
