I play a P2.

BSG

I believe Boomer has lots of yellow, and there are also interrupts that can be played to lower the skill check. But I would do as much as you can.

Unfortunately, P1 was the best I could do. My purple draw at the beginning was sadder than me electing to stay behind on Caprica.

BSG

Hmm, so let's work this out then. Destiny put us at -6, 16 points left to go, nasty. Zarek added 1. Pity that, I'd hoped the President would be leading the opening ceremony, looks like he could only spare Billy for the job. Puts us on -5. Helo next, another 1. A shame, but I don't think he has much else to swing it. Probably only has the cards left to strike manly poses. Puts us to -4.

Admiral's boycotting the proceedings entirely. Fair enough, bound to be enough to drive him to drink, even if he could help. Now, the Chief's making a good showing, looks like the Union of Musicians, Carnies and Bag Check Attendants is on board. Brings us back to 0. And now the captain's organised security, that's up to positive 2.

Hmmm. 8 points to go. The difference between passing and failing is 3 Morale. Zoinks! Can I do this? Let's see, how about:

Yellow-2
Yellow-2
Purple-4

Can I put on a party or what? t accepts the adulation of the 12 Colonies That's right kiddies, Boomer's saved Christmas Colonial Day!

t spends the entire 4 points of Tactics on doing the Electric Slide

BSG

This is a good turn. +1 Morale and a jump. (Vibing for a 3 Distance!)

BSG

The beauty of an open check, we can do it from work. I will update the spreadsheet when I get home.

10 YP
Destiny Deck: G1, R5 (ouch! -6 so far)
Zarek: Y1 (-5)
Helo: P1 (-4)
Tigh: no cards (-4)
Chief: Y4 (even stephen)
Apollo: P2 (+2)
Boomer: Y2, Y2, Y4 (+10... PASS!)

Congratulations! You all deserve a moral boost, so pat yourselves on the collective backs (no knives please, let's keep it happy for now).

I will finish the rest of the crisis card when I get home and wrap my hands around the neck of the spreadsheet. IIRC, we have some lovely parting shots from those beautiful ships floating off your bow. Then I get to figure out how the jump goes. Maybe I'll take a nip, to help simulate the Admiral there.

hotdogs!

BSG

And the next step in the crisis card. Now that you are all happy on some of the Admirals moonshine, it's time to feel the heat. Let's see what the dice have in store for you. Keep in mind, with a Basestar firing on Galactica, a roll of 4-8 is damage. Here we go.
Basestar #1: 1. Critical miss. peew. peew.
Basestar #2: 6. Yikes. Damage done is: Armory.

I guess it could have been worse. At least you don't have any boarding party that you have to arm against.

Now to figure out the destination thing.

BSG

Destination choices have been sent to the Admiral. I am waiting on his decision. He wasn't responding too much, and his breath could start a bonfire. He may have been passed out. We shall see.

BSG

"Reports to the contrary, my belch did not accidentally ignite our fuel reserves, and anyone continuing to joke about it will be sent to the brig. As soon as my office with the incarceration papers in it is fixed. -hic- Anyway, I've instructed Mr. Gaeta to set course for a place where we can hopefully refuel. Get a raptor prepped and ready for scouting and recovery."

I'm sure our illustrious GM will be along to confirm my choice, but I have sent in my decision, and we are heading Distance 1 to a Tylium planet for the opportunity to possibly refuel. We may lose some fuel getting there, but I preferred those chances to the other alternative course.

BSG

Now I'm really sorry we didn't get to scout the Destination Deck. Moving only 1 Distance is a very bad result.

BSG

I'm here. Sorry I didn't help more with the previous check. I had COs to Declare Emergency but thanks to Boomer we didn't need to send the Quorum on a beer run.
