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

I so want to shoot you in the face right now, Apollo. More than usual. I want to shoot him in the face, BT. I mean, I have this gun here, and his face is right over there.

Who do you think you are, Dick Cheney? Until the President assigns a VP, there'll be no face-shootings on this ship.

I play 1 card and I also use my ability to reduce the brigging check difficulty by 3.

You sound pretty tense, Starbuck. I think the pressure of being Admiral is getting to you already. You sure don't want to call this whole thing off?

It's the day of reckoning. I have orders from everyone. Will Apollo keep his freedom, and the Admiralty? With only 2 Fuel left, leaving the choice of destination in the wrong hands will be almost surely fatal. Here are everyone's card plays:

Destiny: 2 cards
Tigh: 1 card
Apollo: 2 cards
Chief: 1 card
Zarek: 1 card
Helo: 1 card
Starbuck: 3 cards

And these are the cards they contributed:

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

Tally: 14 - 10 = 4. Ordinarily, this would see the check fail by 3. But thanks to Tigh's Cylon Hatred, this check's difficulty has been reduced by exactly 3. Check passes in a squeaker! Apollo, you've barely had time to fondle your warhead before you join Zarek, Helo and Tigh in custody.

Looks like we need a new Admiral. Let's see who's next in the order of succession. Adama - missing. Tigh - already in the Brig. Helo - ditto. Apollo - heh. Starbuck - she's still on the loose? Frak me, we're all doomed.

Starbuck has promoted herself to Admiral by the expedient of locking herself in the Admiral's Quarters and barricading the door. (Wait, Tyrol's still in there with her? That's gotta be awkward.) Congratulations Starbuck, have a nuclear warhead and the keys to the old man's ride.

Anyway, since Starbuck's still out and about, it must be time for a Crisis. Let's see... Oh, yes, this is a good one. Looks like your comms are on the fritz:

Jammed Assault
Cylon Attack

Oops.
