If you want me to play cards, they will count against us. I have no cards that are helpful for this skill check.
With a promise like that, I'm certainly in favour of you playing. What's the worst that could happen?
And remember, if you hurt her, I will beat you to death with a shovel.

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

Simple, Omnis, this has all been an elaborate Cylon trap! How else do you explain 3 basestars hanging out at a barren rock?

I think you have the causation reversed. Before the Cylons got here this was a lush and fertile world. I bet it would have been worth at least +2 Food and Fuel. If only you could have jumped earlier...

I'm sure that always applies. It'll be on our tombstone.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

You know, I tried to help you people but all I got was shot at, blown up and a bunch of unkind words in regards to my character and my hairstyle. So I'm done. Let humanity burn.
Play R4, R1.
(You all did the math on this already anyway.)

Having both of you spike the same check was just unfortunate, mate.

Well, I was actually being careful [redacted], but what can you do? Deception isn't really my strong suit, anyway.

Ooh, brazen treachery. My favourite kind. Tally returns to 0.
But! I have COs from Chief Tyrol:
Play B1, B2, B3, B4.
Final tally = 10. Check passes!
So the jump prep track advances to Blue 4, then the raiders activate, converging on the hapless civilians. Just as all seems lost, the jump prep track advances that one final space. FTL drive engaged - the fleet jumps!
Pradmiral Tigh, once I get back to my computer I'll send you a choice of destination. Once you've made your choice it'll be Mr Zarek's turn. Mr Zarek, I'll send you your card draw. After resolving your destination, please post your choice of action.
Gosh, this is exciting.

oh, one other note: secrecy rules preclude giving any information about cards you've played into skill checks, including the number of negatives (whether or not it's accurate). Apollo, could you edit your post? Ta ever so.
