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

Admiral Starbuck fires the remaining nuke at the basestar. President Tigh contributes his extensive nuking experience. Let's see how it goes.

Die roll: 3 + 2 = 5. Basestar destroyed, but the raiders are all intact.

Starbuck's second acrtion is to initiate brigging proceedings against the Chief. This is still Helo's turn, so Starbuck will start this check and Helo will end it. We'll pause to see if anyone wants to play an IC or SR interrupt. Everyone, please pass or play.

Edit: President Tigh, please also advise whether you wish to lower the check difficulty by 3.

Administrative note: Helo used a G-1 to XO Starbuck.

Die roll: 3 + 5. Basestar destroyed, but the raiders are all intact.

BT, can you clarify this math for me. Was it 3+5=8? That does take out 3 raiders. or 3+2=5?

Oh, and I do lower the brigging difficulty by 3, of course.

It was 3 + 2 = 5. Must have lost a couple of characters, I'll go back and edit.

Electromagnetic candy! - Stark

BSG

Just for the record - I'm not out of cards. Check the last End of Turn summary, and then my action (of drawing one more card) - I have a LOT of cards.

I read the summary for Tyrol's turn, not yours. I am smrt.

BSG

I have COs from Apollo and Chief: Apollo plays 1 card; Chief plays 2 cards.

Mr Zarek is next to play, and Helo will finish the check.

I have orders in from everyone. Here's the play:

Destiny: 2 cards
Starbuck: no cards
Tigh: 1 card
Apollo: 1 card
Chief: 2 cards
Zarek: 4 cards
Helo: 1 card

Cards:

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

Tally: 15 - 11 = 4. A result almost exactly the same as the check against Apollo, and with the same result - Chief Tyrol, the Press certainly have something to report on as you are arrested before their very eyes.

Helo (in common with two thirds of the crew) is in the Brig, so he gets no Crisis Card. Starbuck, your turn is up next. Please post whether you wish to draw Blue or Green this turn, and when you're ready, your move and action.
