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.

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.
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.
BSG (Baltar)
I call Not It because I want to use my turn to get Helo out of Sickbay if possible. But otherwise skies are clear so if we're lucky whoever gets it can get rid of it quickly.
BSG (Apollo)
I arbitrarily choose hoshi to get the card.
BSG
Arbitrary card sent. Finally, the jump track advances. That concludes Apollo's turn. Baltar's cards are going out. Baltar, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

BSG (Baltar)
I'm not a gambling ma—oh, who am I kidding, of course I'm a gambling man.
I
play Preventative Policy-4
and hope that my Crisis involves
Morale
so we can tank it. (I would choose Food but we've had two Food Crises recently and Morale comes up more often.)
And then I
XO-1 Helo.
Get up, lazybones!
BSG (Helo)
so it's Baltar's turn, it's my turn in two turns and there's no metal in the sky. I'm going to gamble that we don't get an attack card and move to the
Research Lab
but for my action I will play
LS-1
to scout the crisis deck.
