You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

I play the one and only card I can.

Clearly a new Cylon virus had gotten into the computers because it's starting to spout gibberish.

Starting? That source ALWAYS spewed gibberish.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Clearly he's auditioning for a shot at playing Helo.

We used to play...what's that game? Spades? Where you try to pass the Queen of Spades to someone else?
Anyway, our group called the Queen of Spades "The Bitch" when playing. And one friend, when he would successfully force another player to take The Bitch would croon:
"Eeeeeeaaaaaat iiiiiiiit! Eeeeeaaaaat the Biiiiiiitch!"

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

I'm clarifying one CO, but here's how things stand card play-wise.
Destiny:
2 cards
Tigh:
1 card
Apollo:
1 card
Chief:
no cards
Zarek:
2 cards
Helo:
1 card
Starbuck:
Starbuck, you'll finish up this check.

I have orders from Starbuck. Time to resolve the check.
Destiny:
2 cards
Tigh:
1 card
Apollo:
1 card
Chief:
no cards
Zarek:
2 cards
Helo:
1 card
Starbuck:
4 cards
Cards played:
Yellow 1
Yellow 2
Green 1
Red 1
Red 1
Red 2
Red 3
Red 3
Red 4
Purple 4
Purple 5
Tally: 18 - 9 = 9. Check fails by 2. The fleet loses 1 Population.
But! Helo, voice partly muffled as Tigh is currently flushing his head down the toilet, plays a Green-5 to Declare an Emergency. Difficulty is reduced by 2 - the check passes!
Cylon activation: heavy raiders. The heavy in Sector 2 moves to Sector 1.
Jump prep: Yes (advances to Blue 3).
That concludes Starbuck's turn. President Tigh, when I get a chance I'll send you your cards. When you're ready, please post your action.

Try doing that with the Toasters, sir! Maybe you'll short out their frakkin' circuits so we can win this game.
