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

BSG

Captain Apollo, I've sent you your cards. Note that you are currently located in Administration on Colonial One (having tried to remove the Presidency from Ms Roslin last turn). To move back to Galactica will cost one skill card. Please post your choice of discard.

Meanwhile, activating the Admiral's Quarters is a skill check, so I will call for interrupts (Investigative Committee or Scientific Research). As always, could everyone please post whether they pass or play an interrupt.

I discard 1R and move Galactica, to the Admiral's Quarters, and start filling out "Return Boomer to the Brig" paperwork.

Another reminder while we're sorting out interrupts, send me COs for the attempt to rebrig Boomer if you know what you'll play. Boomer will be playing first into this check, Apollo plays last. Everyone in the Brig may play at most one card; Boomer and Apollo may play as many as they like.

move out and draw fire

BSG

I play no interrupts. I intend to play the card I can to keep Boomer out of the brig, having used my entire last turn to get her out.

As such, I've sent COs.

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

BSG

So if we're in the brig and we play an interrupt, does that count as our one card?

No; you can only play one card into the check, but you can play as many interrupts as you want.

Time's up for interrupts (none played), so let's start the check. I have COs from Boomer and Adama, so the state of play is:

Destiny: 2 cards
Boomer: 3 cards
Adama: 1 card
Roslin:
Baltar:
Apollo:

President Roslin, you're next. Please post how many cards you're playing.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

So Wii Swordplay is pretty fun.
