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!"

I'm clarifying one CO, but here's how things stand card play-wise.
Destiny:

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:

Tigh:

Zarek:

Cards played:

Red 1
Red 2
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.

(translation: Yes! YEEESSS!!!)
Try doing that with the Toasters, sir! Maybe you'll short out their frakkin' circuits so we can win this game.
BSG
That concludes ADMIRAL Starbuck's turn.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Oh, I finished delivering Helo's punishment. He's currently helping me with the small issue of two cylons sharing our cell...
Edit: BT, I have zero cards. Lost that last one to alcoholism.
BSG
That concludes ADMIRAL Starbuck's turn.
My apologies, that concludes Admiral Kara "No-Nukes" Thrace's turn.
Edit: BT, I have zero cards. Lost that last one to alcoholism.
Quite correct. President Tigh discards his last card, a P2, devoting his tactical skill to the vexed issue of smuggling moonshine into the Brig. New cards are on their way.

Late night orders
I XO Helo. Omnis, I suggest you get out of brig. My suggestion for where to move is either the Research Lab to grab a blue card, or Communications to find out what the civvie ships are in Sectors 5 & 6 so we know what's on the line.
BSG
Helo, you've received an XO (administrative details: Tigh played a Green-2). You may take two actions. Note: if you successfully activate the Brig, you may then move to any other location as part of that action; it therefore does not prevent you from taking a second action, including activating the location to which you move.
When you're ready, please post your first action.
