Apollo comes through again!
He plays a Strategic Planning 4.
The civvie is saved!
That's all well and good, but the good citizens are a little freaked that they were expected to ram a Cylon ship. That's what the military's for, isn't it? The trust is gone. I'm sorry, ramming Cylon ships; the trust is gone. They still have a Centurion stuck on the windshield! Apollo's crisis card is:
Rebuild Trust
Skill Check (9 YG)
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.
BSG (Baltar)
Ooh, smooth move, Mr. President!
Pass on interrupts, I can help a lot on this check.
BSG (Admiral Tigh)
Well, that's a pass we do not care about. But a fail that is very bad. :sigh: Let's pass this thing.
I can help some.
Mr. Awesome GM, refresh my memory, if you can. Has any Treachery cards been shuffled in the deck?
BSG (Hel0)
Pass on interrupts. I can help a little with the check.
BSG
Mr. Awesome GM, refresh my memory, if you can. Has any Treachery cards been shuffled in the deck?
Well, yes, when I created it for instance. I'm not sure there's a useful answer to this question, because of how the Destiny deck is managed - when it's replenished, six cards carry over. Those six cards could have been overweight or underweight on Treachery.
I can tell you that there are currently 18 cards in Destiny.
BSG
Everyone passes on interrupts. The check begins!
Rebuild Trust:
9 YG
Destiny:
2 cards
Baltar:
2 cards
Tigh:
Helo:
(COs received)
Apollo:
Tigh is up next.
BSG
Rebuild Trust:
9 YG
Destiny:
2 cards
Baltar:
2 cards
Tigh:
1 card
Helo:
0 cards
Apollo:
Apollo is last to play.
BSG
I have everyone's play:
Rebuild Trust:
9 YG
Destiny:
2 cards
Baltar:
2 cards
Tigh:
1 card
Helo:
0 cards
Apollo:
0 cards
Morale, who needs it? Cards played:
At Any Cost 3
Launch Scout 1
Maximum Firepower 3
Raptor Specialist 4
Build Nuke 6
Tally: 3 - 14 = -11. Epic fail
Morale drops by 2! I think it's safe to say that the trust is very much gone.
That concludes Apollo's turn. Baltar's cards are going out. Citizen Baltar, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
