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.

BSG

I think it's fair to say we are frakked.

OMG, there are 4 civvie ships on the board.

BSG

Tigh, Helo, I can bury this card, but there are much worse cylon attacks possible.

And I can only do it once a game.

Worse than we already had? Can we scout the next crisis card before we bury this one?

BSG

No, Starbuck's power is to discard a Crisis Card as it's played, not after we've done some stuff and decide we don't like it.

Sean, I say bury it. Looking at the possibilities, this is one of the worst that could happen right now, especially with no vipers and only 1 human out of the brig.

This attack will very likely finish us off so I think your once a game power is totally worth it right now. If we get another attack, well at least we tried.

BSG

If that's the case, I concur.

BSG

I shall use my once a game ability to discard this card, and leave our fate in the hands of the gods.

BSG

May the gods be with us.

BSG

For what it's worth, I concur with the Pradmiral, and this better work (as in "Fate had better throw us something more manageable" not "Starbuck, don't let us down or I'll shake my fist and scream at you some more")

Apollo, you've barely had time to fondle your warhead before you join Zarek, Helo and Tigh in custody.

Aw, man. I didn't even get a chance to finish polishing my new insignia.
