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?
BSG (Helo)
I can help a lot.
pass on interrupts by the way.
BSG (Apollo)
I can also help a lot on this one.
BSG (Baltar)
I'm sensing an overplay in the making here.
BSG (Admiral Hoshi)
pass on interrupts as well, then.
BSG
Everyone passes on interrupts, and I have everyone's play:

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.
BSG (Baltar)
Wow! Frakking Destiny was brutal. Not an overplay after all. Whew.
BSG (Apollo)
Either destiny was brutal or someone tried to spike the check by playing a 1 value positive card and a 5 value negative card.
Crap. Who's in the best position to deal with getting a mutiny card?
BSG (Helo)
It's never a good time for a mutiny card.
