Is this bad? I get the feeling this is bad. What do we have to do to jump out of this mess? And what cost would that be to the fleet?

it was bad; it might have been Latin.

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

Being attacked by a basestar and 13 raiders is not so much of the good. In answer to your question, I've emailed players with an explanation of the jump protocols. The short answer: once you find another Jump Icon on a Crisis Card, you will be able to Jump manually if someone takes an action to do so; but at the risk of losing some population (apparently their FTLs weren't ready in time).

move out and draw fire

We're pretty much going to be losing population anyway; I was really hoping for a little more time before raiders activated.
No interrupts from me.

I am playing the Blue 5 interrupt, which makes all blue cards count positive in this skill check. This reduces what the cylon can toss in to hamper us, and help with the destiny deck randomness. I realize it's a valuable card, but I'm tired of failing checks.

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

Sheesh you'd think a recently unemployed person would be spending more time on line gaming. Baltar draws an additional purple card for this skill check.

There is one interrupt, Boomer's Scientific Research. Not sure what research she's been doing that helps out with prison labour, but she has wide interests. The skill check is now 10 YGPB.
Apollo, you will play first, and we'll finish with Baltar. As always, feel free to send me COs.
