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.

Who knew Twinkies DID have an expiry date?

And that it was so ruthlessly enforced?

Starbuck's card has been sent. Her Crisis is:

Cylon Tracking Device
Skill Check 10 PRB

We will pause for Investigative Committee interrupts. (Blue is already positive, so there is no need for Scientific Research.)
