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

BSG (Baltar)

Wait, you kill me, ding Morale, and then try and point the finger at me for beng a Cylon?

I didn't kill you! That was all President Apollo, my one-eyed friend.

So. We are finally in the blue for the jump track. Should I push the button?

I was certainly considering that option, although it's a risk without a plan, which no one had before. The skies aren't too bad now, without the basestar, so we could maybe tough it out.

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

BSG (Helo)

Maybe one of us could come up with a plan in a couple turns?

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

BSG

Orders from Tigh: activate Command, fire at the raiders twice. Well then.

Fire 1: 4. Hit!
Fire 2: 3. Hit!

Well, that was easy. Some good hits there. A little added boom. I wonder where he got it from? Meanwhile, Tigh's crisis card is:

Missing G4 Explosives
Skill Check (7 GP)

Feels almost refreshingly straightforward after some of the recent turns. Possible interrupts: IC, SR, RO, ASC, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Helo plays first, Tigh last.

Pass on interrupts. I can help a lot on the check.

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

BSG (Tigh)

This might be my biggest mistake, but I'm going to trust Helo's "I can help a lot" and play no cards into the check, in an effort to not overplay, like previous checks.

Gods help us.

Gods help us.

Do they? How gratifying. Let's see if that's true. Cards played:

Executive Order 2
Declare Emergency 3
Restore Order 3
State of Emergency 6
Quick Thinking 0
Critical Situation 3
Red Tape 0

Tally: 17 - 0 = 17. Pass However, the RT-0 negates the SoE-6. Tally = 11. Still Pass! Finally, the QT-0 allows Tigh to commandeer one card from the check, of value 3 or less. As the check passed by more than 3, it will still pass no matter which card Tigh takes. Admiral Tigh, when you're ready, please post your choice.
