This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

Well, I think it's worth trying to pass this one.

Damn no jump check again.

P.S. Y'know, Morale is comically high.

I can help - quite a bit, actually - in this check.

(I believe it's safe to assume I have some past experience with explosive devices.)

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

BSG

I have passes on all interrupts, and a dodgy Internet connection. Destiny plays 2 cards. Starbuck, you're up first. Helo will finish the check. Reminder: you can send me COs before your turn. In addition, Starbuck, can you let me know what you would like for your card draw on your turn? Thanks.

Helo: 1 card

Red 3
Red 4
Blue 3

Tally: 12 - 14 = -2. Fail. The fleet loses 1 Food.

There are no Cylon ships on the board, so the activation has no effect. There is no jump icon, so the jump prep does not advance. This concludes Helo's turn. Starbuck has opted to draw a Green as part of her card draw. Starbuck, I'm sending your cards. When you're ready please post your move and action.
