IJS! A little excitement would help jump start the game, kick it into high gear.

Yes! And then I could brig someone and wacky hijinks would ensue.

Ooo! Hijinks! Yes, can I get an order of Hijinks please! (and why my brain heard that in the voice of Moss from the I.T. Crowd, I have no idea)

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

with my 'friends in low places' brigging is quite simple, really. I wonder how that works. I guess I send some thugs to round the traitor up.

I play a Yellow 1.

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

That's a common error. Zarek can change the difficulty of elections, and getting someone out of the Brig, but has no influence on getting them in. That's Tigh's gig - he can lower the DC by 3.

I'm off 'till tomorrow. I'll be logging on from my Dad's house sometime after 4.

I meant that I could do it on this turn because the crisis card is my decision. But it looks like we passed the check before my turn, so it is out of my hands.

Is that right? If so, I play no cards.

A Traitor Accused

Destiny Deck: P 2, Y 5 (total +3)
Tigh: G1, G1 (Total = +5)
Chief: No Cards Played
Apollo: Y2 (Total = +7 - still fail)
Boomer: No cards played
Zarek: Y1 (Total = 8 Pass!)
Helo: No Cards Played (total is still 8!)

Congratulations. You passed the skill check. You have won the prize "No effect". (see, if one of y'all spiked, we could have had a LOT more action than just "no effect". Pfft).

The card says to activate raiders. Alas, there are no raiders in the air to activate. If someone wants me to just put some out there, mention in thread, and I'll be happy to!

When I get home tonight, I will push along the jump track one spot, and wrap up this turn, and then send the Skill Cards to Tigh.

I had a talk to the Admiral about his new cards. Not 'with', but 'to'. Not sure he heard me. Couldn't tell if he was passed out or listening intently. Either way, I left a note with the details. Let's see if he makes a hasty decision, or talks things out with his crew.
