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.

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

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.

I also have COs from Baltar, who plays 2 cards, completing a pleasing symmetry.

Thanks to Boomer's interrupt, only Red cards count negative. And the results are...

Green 1
Green 4
Purple 2
Blue 2

Blue 4

Tally = 15.

Cylon Activation: Raiders. The raiders in Sector 1 move to Sector 6; the raiders in Sector 4 move to Sector 5.

Apollo, you're up next. Please advise your choice for your card draw.
