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

Apollo has left me COs for his turn:

Draw 2 Politics cards
Stay on Caprica; draw 2 Crisis Cards and resolve one.

Apollo, I am sending you your card draw and choice of Crisis Card. When you are ready, please post your choice.

They shot at MOM? Well, pseudo-mom?

See that little ship over there? The Olympic Carrier?

Do something with it.

I choose "The Olympic Carrier" as my crisis card.

Billytea, make it so!

Apollo 13 has chosen:

The Olympic Carrier
Skill Check (11 YGR)

I wish to remind you all: if this check fails, the Cylons win the game.

First, I will call for interrupts, Investigative Committee and/or Scientific Research. Dr Baltar, you are the only player able to play any interrupts. Please post whether you pass or play.

Administrative note: Apollo 13 discarded the Crisis Card Terrorist Bomber.

The Olympic Carrier turned up in the first episode of Season 1. I doubt it can claim to be the cutting-edge option here.

Didn't I claim in my first post-haste jump where we lost population, that it was the Olympic Carrier? Therefore, this card is null and void. poof!

(What? I have no cards, what else am I supposed to do??)

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

I'm back. D&D until 4am! Good gracious we had a good time in Eberron last night/this morning.
