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!
Frak. I hope you didn't have any cards that would have helped, Chief, because I burned my best card trying to spike that check.
BSG
Team Human's been scraping through by the skin of their teeth lately. They only passed this one by throwing in the most valuable DE in the deck, and they left themselves no margin for error in brigging you and Chief. Let's see how long their luck holds out.
BSG
They only passed this one by throwing in the most valuable DE in the deck, and they left themselves no margin for error in brigging you and ChiefYa, I've been debating how to play that one for awhile.
ACTION GET ME OUT OF HERE! I activate the debrigging process.
BSG
I have passes on interrupts from everyone. Let's get right into it. Apollo starts the check, and I have COs from him too; Tigh will finish up.
Destiny:
2 cards
Apollo:
no cards
Chief:
Zarek:
Helo:
Starbuck:
Tigh:
Chief, you're up next. I'll take COs from anyone before their turn too.
BSG
Looking at conditional orders Humans, should I *not* pass this check, should be second action be to re-initiate, thus depleting extra cards? I, being a good libra, am on the fence. I need to get out, but we also need to get us humans OUT of here.
BT, I defer to the HUMANS judgment on this, as I will be quite busy all day. If it goes to a 2nd round, the e-mail I sent will be the same for the 2nd round
I can help a little in the debrigging endeavor.
BSG
Get out of there. We need all available humans out of the brig, GETTING CRISIS CARDS SO WE CAN KEEP MOVING. Time is on THEIR side; delays mean they can spike the population or fuel, and win. We need to JUMP FAST AND OFTEN.
(ahem)
I have no cards, I can't help THAT way. The Goon Squad and it's army of pipe wrenches IS available, however. That includes bending the bars (or chrome heads) to keep them inside, too.
BSG
In not-game-related news, but still topical, I present Col. Saul "Motherfrakking" Tigh
BSG
My apologies, that concludes Admiral Kara "No-Nukes" Thrace's turn.
Yeah, but I got to blow shit up with one of them. That was frakkin' awesome.
BSG
Helo, we go for it now to get you out. Doing it a second time is a complete waste of cards.
Zarek, so you've made the escape easier? That's by 2, right?
Edit: At least the Cylons can only play one card each.
BSG
I play 1 card.
BSG
The fix is in. I have COs from everyone.
Destiny:
2 cards
Apollo:
no cards
Chief:
1 card
Zarek:
no cards
Helo:
1 card
Starbuck:
2 cards
Tigh:
1 card
Result:
Yellow 2
Purple 1
Purple 2
Purple 2
Purple 3
Green 3
Red 1
Tally: 10 - 4 = 6. With Zarek's Friends in Low Places, Helo is free! He has left COs to move to Communications.
Action 2: look at civilian ships B and C, move them further away from the raiders. Helo, I'm sending you details of the two ships.
That concludes President Tigh's turn. Apollo, I'm sending you your card draw. (Apollo has opted to draw 2 Green as part of his card draw.) When you're ready, please post your action.
