This just in: Apollo plays an IC-3 on this check. All cards will be played open. In that spirit, Destiny has made a powerful contribution:
Destiny:
P1, B5
Zarek:
Adama:
Boomer:
Apollo:
Helo:
Running tally:
6 - 0 = 6 (Fail).
President Zarek is next.
BSG
Well, that's a nice start.
ETA: I have a feeling this check is going to be a moment of truth. We succeed, we're one jump prep away from winning.
BSG
I have plays from Zarek and Adama. Boomer is up next.
Destiny:
P1, B5
Zarek:
G2
Adama:
P2, P4
Boomer:
Apollo:
Helo:
Running Tally:
12 - 2 = 10 (Fail)
BSG
And our "honorable" president spikes the check. Not anxious for us to get to Kobol, Mr. President?
BSG
Sorry, I just had Apollo and his dad over for dinner. They're on their way home now.
Not anxious for us to get to Kobol, Mr. President?
Well since nobody said they'd let me out of jail when we get there, maybe we should stay here a little longer.

Destiny:
P1, B5
Zarek:
G2
Adama:
P2, P4
Boomer:
R4
Apollo:
Helo:
Running Tally:
12 - 6 = 6 (Fail)
Apollo is up next.
BSG
Well, this is proving enlightening.
Well, this is proving enlightening.
Isn't it though? You should've networked those computers a long time ago.
If Apollo doesn't check the thread before he goes to sleep tonight it's possible we won't see him for a while. He has a very full day tomorrow.
BSG
In that case, I really just need him to confirm his COs. I think I can interpret them well enough. I also have COs from Helo:
Destiny:
P1, B5
Zarek:
G2
Adama:
P2, P4
Boomer:
R4
Apollo:
no cards
Helo:
P1, P2
Tally:
15 - 6 = 9. Fail! Unless it's an emergency. Helo certainly thinks so.
Helo plays a DE-3.
Difficulty is reduced by 2 - the check passes!
The jump prep track advances by 1. There is also a jump icon on this Crisis Card, so it advances by another 1. That concludes Helo's turn. President Zarek, I'm sending you your card draw. When you're ready, please post your move and action.
