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

BSG

If we're all humans we might actually have a chance of winning this thing.

Never passing up a chance to remind you all I'm still in the brig, I can only play one card and therefore help just a little with this check.

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.

Wow, there are about to be a frakload of raiders in the sky. Wish there a was jump prep in there, because I don't see us shooting our way out of this and we're currently in the lose three Population range if we try to jump early.

The Crisis I'm not too worried about. Morale is currently good and there's no one in danger of being sent to Sickbay. Not to say we should intentionally fail it, but it's not worth throwing a ton of cards at. I can help with the check, but I'd rather spend my cards on something more crucial.

I'm aware of the risks of saying what I had at the time.

I'll help a bit with the Crisis. Not a high difficulty.

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

BSG

I'll help a bit, not because it's a high threat, but because I'd rather chose what I can play, than have random yanked from my hand.

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

BSG

That's enough time for interrupts, and I have one: Apollo plays an SR-3. Blue is now positive for this check.

Helo opens this check and Apollo will finish it. You can also send me COs for your play before it's your turn. Helo, when you're ready, plesae post your play.

Destiny: 2 cards
Helo:
Zarek:
Adama:
Boomer:
Apollo:

move out and draw fire

I'm pretty sure that there's a good chance of a Cylon victory in a game with no Cylons.

I think the few cards I have would be better spent on other things. I play no cards.

I have COs from President Zarek to play 3 cards. Admiral Adama is up next.

Destiny: 2 cards
Helo: no cards
Zarek: 3 cards

Our wings are not tired

I'm not playing any cards into this one. I think we can afford the Morale hit and I'd like to save cards for a more critical check.

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 COs from the remaining players:

Destiny: 2 cards
Helo: no cards
Zarek: 3 cards
Adama: no cards
Boomer: 1 card
Apollo: 2 cards

Results:

Green 1
Green 1
Green 2
Purple 1
Purple 3
Blue 3
Yellow 1
Red 2

As Apollo played an SR-3 on this check, Blue also counts positive. Therefore, we have:

Tally: 11 - 3 = 8. Pass - no effect.

The two basestars each launch 3 raiders.

That concludes Apollo's turn. Helo, I'm sending you your card draw. When you're ready, plesae post your move and action.
