You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Madame President is more distracted than usual today.
Romance trumps gaming every time.
edit: heh. I am currently waiting for the rest of the players to arrive so we can play some D&D.

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

A debrigging is a skill check, so I'm calling for interrupts, Investigative Committee and/or Scientific Research. Please pass or play. I'm at uni all day, so let's leave it open till I get home (about 2 am board time).
Some people have sent COs for the check itself, thanks for that; the remaining players can do so too if they wish.

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

Orders from Roslin; she plays 1 card. Results:
Yellow 3
Yellow 3
Yellow 5
Purple 1
Red 2
Tally: 12 - 2 = 10. Success! President Roslin, you are free of the confines of the Brig. Please post where you would like to move, and I will then send you two Crisis Cards to choose from.

I have orders from President Roslin for the rest of her turn:
Move from the Brig to the President's Office (discard a Green 1 to move to Colonial One).
Note: there's disagreement within the official game on whether you can move straight to Colonial One from the Brig. Per the Brig location text you can; per the rulebook you can only move to a Galactica location. This has been clarified by the game's creator, and it is permitted to move to C1, discarding a card to do so.
Since the President is now free, we have a Crisis Card to resolve; and she is once again able to use her special ability (draw two Crisis Cards, choose one to play). She has chosen:
Heavy Assault
Cylon Attack
Per this card, the two basestars placed on the board attack Galactica immediately. I am going to assume no one will play a Strategic Planning interrupt to help them.
Roll 1: 5.
Hit!
Armoury damaged. Boomer sent to Sickbay.
Roll 2: 7.
Hit!
Hangar Deck damaged.
Finally, President Roslin has over 10 cards in her hand, and discards:
Yellow 1
Green 1
Green 1
That concludes President Roslin's turn. Dr Baltar, I'm sending you your cards. When you're ready, please post your move and action.
