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

Oh! and a jump icon! So, we auto jump, yes?

That is correct! The fleet jumps this turn.

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

BSG (Helo)

Pass on interrupts.

I can help a little.

Everyone passes on interrupts. The check begins:

Loss of a Friend: 9 (7) YG

Destiny: 2 cards
Helo:
Apollo: (COs received)
Baltar: (COs received)
Tigh:

Helo is up first.

I have everyone's play:

Loss of a Friend: 9 (7) YG

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

So that's... four cards from the humans. That's should do it, right? Cards played:

Consolidate Power 1
Executive Order 2
Executive Order 2
Declare Emergency 3
Strategic Planning 5
Full Throttle 2
Test the Limits 5

Tally: 8 - 12 = -4. Epic Fail! Well... At least no one played an Iron Will. Morale falls by 1, and Tigh discards:

Launch Scout 1
Launch Scout 1

But it's not all bad news. There's a heavy raider activation, which doesn't matter because we reach the end of the jump track. The fleet jumps! Destinations are on their way to the Admiral. Admiral Tigh, when you're ready, please post your choice.

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

BSG (Baltar)

Looks like your DESTINY is to FAIL.

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

:: crackle of radio for fleet wide announcement ::

:: sound of shot glass hitting the table, with sigh of drawing a long slug ::

Ladies and gentlemen of the fleet. This is Galactica Actual. Lately, we've had a tough row to hoe. The old man being executed. A very long battle with the Cylons. Finding a fraking skin job walking around us!! But there is some hope. We will persevere. With that, I have some great news, some good news, and some bad news.

GREAT: We have jumped a distance of THREE! At this rate, we will only need one more jump, plus the final jump, and be home free!

GOOD: This huge jump only burned one fuel!

BAD: We have landed in the middle of a fraking ambush! BATTLESTATIONS!

Communications will be hitting your inbox with all the details. May the gods be with us.

Galactica Actual, out.

Of course when I decide to land back on Galactica we jump into an ambush.

The fleet jumps into a Cylon Ambush! The forecast is for 'splosions, I approve. Of course, last jump cycle we had every remaining civvie on the board and they all survived, so who knows how this one will turn out?

That concludes Tigh's turn. Helo chose to land his assault raptor, so he starts his turn on Galactica and gets his full card draw. Helo, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
