Just so I can keep my tracker up to date (since I can't see the pile on the table), how many quorum cards does the President have now?

Thanks,

Your loving Admiral.

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

BSG

Four cards, currently.

Apollo draws another card. Meanwhile, questions are being raised about the Admiral poking into the Quorum business. Maybe he needs a reminder as to whom the military is answerable. Apollo's crisis card is:

Review Galactica's Log
Skill Check (14 YGP)

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

Hey gang, this is a big number. I can help a bunch. But obviously not all the way. I don't want to waste cards, just to toss more away. Let's get some communication happening here. I need call outs from folks. Who can help and who can't. We have a skeleton crew here. We have a big burden to shoulder on this one. Let's do it.

Dr. B, would making blue positive help you play into the check?

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

BSG (Baltar)

Pass on interrupts.

I can help a lot, as is.

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

BSG (Helo)

I can help a lot.

pass on interrupts by the way.

Our wings are not tired

BSG (Apollo)

I can also help a lot on this one.

I'm sensing an overplay in the making here.

pass on interrupts as well, then.

Everyone passes on interrupts, and I have everyone's play:

Review Galactica's Log: 14 (6) YGP

Destiny: 2 cards
Baltar: 2 cards
Hoshi: 2 cards
Helo: 2 cards
Apollo: 1 card

Seven cards and lots of promises. Still, it's a 14 check. Let's see if it's enough.

Popular Influence 3
Major Victory 1
Declare Emergency 3
At Any Cost 4
Declare Emergency 4
At Any Cost 5
Declare Emergency 5
Calculations 5
Exploit Weakness 5

Tally: 25 - 10 = 15. Pass! Actually very close in the end. But the log all seems in order. Almost in order - we have one wrinkle, the Treacherous EW-5. Apollo must choose one player to draw a mutiny card. Apollo, when you're ready, please post your choice.
