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

BSG

Very well. Apollo has played his Super Crisis card, and it is:

Fleet Mobilisation
Skill Check (24 GPRB)

We will pause for interrupts (Investigative Committee). Could Pradmiral Roslin and Dr Baltar state whether they play one or pass.

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

Staff Sgt Adama, it's your play.

I have Adama's orders. In fact, I have everyone's orders except Apollo. The check stands at:

Destiny: 2 cards
Boomer: 1 card
Adama: no cards
Roslin: 3 cards
Baltar: 1 card
Apollo:

Apollo, want to finish it up?

Orders are in, and Apollo plays 1 card. Results:

Green 5
Red 4
Blue 2
Blue 5
Yellow 1
Yellow 1
Yellow 3
Yellow 4

Tally: 16 - 9 = 7. Fail. The entire Cylon fleet mobilises. Citizens of the Colonies, grab onto something solid!

Basestars attack
Roll 1: 2. Miss.
Roll 2: 8. Hit! Weapons Control damaged.

Heavy raiders activate
The heavy raider in Sector 1 moves to Sector 6, ready to board; the heavy raider in Sector 2 moves to Sector 1.

Raiders activate
The 4 raiders in Sector 6 attack the 3 RSVs in an attempt to get at the chewy Civilian centre.
Roll 1: 5. Viper damaged.

Ok, we need to pause here to see if Boomer wants to play an Evasive Maneouvre interrupt. Boomer, what is your order? If you can send me COs for the remaining attacks too, that would speed things up.
