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

President Zarek has drawn a second Quorum card.

Time for a crisis. Looks like (stop me if you've heard this one) one ship didn't make the jump. But now they're back on DRADIS and heading your way. Dr Baltar is convinced the ship is now full of zombies waiting to eat your braaaaains. Will the fleet listen to him and destroy it?

Skill Check 11 YGR

Possible interrupts are Investigative Committee and Scientific Research. Everyone, please pass or play.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

I wish I could interrupt. Boy howdy, now is the time. That said, I can help some on this one.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

BSG

No interrupts here. I can help a little with the check.

Sorry, no Investigative Committee here either.

I've got a few cards for the check. Difficulty 11 isn't that bad either.

I now have passes on interrupts from everyone, so let's start the check. I have COs from Adama, so we're up to Boomer. A reminder, as Boomer is in the Brig she is limited to a maximum of one card into the check.

Destiny: 2 cards
Adama: 2 cards
Boomer: (limit 1 card)
Apollo:
Helo:

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Sorry I must have nodded off. I play one card.

Hey, look at that! They're not zombies after all, they've just been watching a 48-hour 7th Heaven marathon.

Tally: 30 - 2 = 28. Pass, a lot - no effect.

Finally, the jump prep advances by 1. That concludes Zarek's turn. Admiral Adama, I'm sending you your card draw. When you're ready, please post your move and action.

Our wings are not tired

BSG

Okay, who do we have that can do some repair work? Is it only Boomer who is now in the Brig? Do we dare free the possible toaster from the Brig?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

BSG

I am the only player who draws blue cards but I only draw one at a time and at the moment I don't have any. You can draw blue in the Research lab which is not to say you shouldn't also spring me. I swear I'm not a cylon.

Are there definitely two toasters or could we just have one? I noticed that at most, one player spiked that check.
