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

BSG

I would generally advise caution in any such statement. You can say whether you intend to play high or low.

Anyway. The check is now Reckless! Destiny will not play into it. Everyone else passes on interrupts. Help and Apollo both play three cards, while Baltron plays one. Tigh is last to play.

Let's set this up properly:

Forced Water Mining: 17 YGPB

Destiny: 0 cards
Helo: 3 cards
Apollo: 3 cards
Baltar: 1 card
Tigh:

You know, looking at the records, the last skill check you all did was Prison Labour. What the hell kind of slave ship are you running here?!?

Apologies, due to an error of mine, Baltron's play was incorrect. He plays no cards. I also have Tigh's play:

Forced Water Mining: 17 YGPB

Destiny: 0 cards
Helo: 3 cards
Apollo: 3 cards
Baltar: 0 cards
Tigh: 1 card

Cards played:

Iron Will 0
Executive Order 2
At Any Cost 3
Restore Order 3
Change of Plans 5
Unorthodox Plan 3
Unorthodox Plan 4

Tally: 20 - 0 = 20. Pass! Food rises by 1. Next, the raiders activate. Hmmm. We have both Scar and five regular raiders in Sector 3. Current player determines order of activation where it's an issue; Admiral Tigh, should we activate Scar first or last?

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

BSG (Admiral Tigh)

First. Get the worst over with faster. Maybe keep him in that sector one more turn.

Excellent. Let's roll.

Scar 1: 2. Miss.
Scar 2: 1. Miss.

Bit of stage fright there. Nothing to worry about. Next up is his backing chorus.

Raider 1: 8. Viper destroyed!

That's more like it! Or is it? Pause now for EMs. Everyone drawing Red, please pass or play.

That's well over 24 hours. Everyone passes on interrupts; the viper is destroyed! The remaining four raiders move to Sector 4. Hi, Helo!

Oh, damn. I have, again, forgotten one item. Tigh played a GI-1 on this check, so it's Reckless. Need to deal with that too. The top card of the Treachery deck is:

Dradis Contact 0

Result! Two raiders are added to Sector 1. They'll be activated too in a moment, but first, we'll turn over a second treachery card to resolve:

Personal Vices 3

Fun! Each human player draws 1 Treachery. Tigh also gets a mutiny card. Cards going out now.

Meanwhile, the the two new raiders in Sector 1 move to Sector 6. Finally, the jump track advances. That concludes Tigh's turn. Helo's cards are going out. Helo, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

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

BSG (Helo)

I don't have an XO and I think it's best if I stay put to protect these civvies. I can bring an RSV into my sector and order him to fire on the raiders three times or I can move him to sector 3 to fire on Scar twice. Any thoughts?
