Even though we have a partial pass and are just talking about Zarek losing his last card, given the color, I think it's more important than this one.

I play a G3.

Given that we also finally coaxed that damn P5 out of the toasters' hands, I feel really good about this one.

It might have been Destiny. You never know. I do! Mwhahaha.

Excellent, now we have a passing check! Y'all have earned "No Effect" again. I think this one comes with a bobble head.

We activate the Heavy Raiders. They shift from nowhere to nowhere.

We advance the jump track. We are still in the red! But one step closer to Kobol.

And that brings us to the end of Zareks turn.

Please, we all know I've been obsessed with the fives and I've been waiting for that sucker forever.

As we advance the round, Tigh was seen stumbling in the passageways. Seems he found a stash of hooch. In the course of swerving from side to side, he dropped his P3, and now has no cards.

Hee. Given that we coaxed 12 cards worth 28 points out of your hands, I'm feeling pretty good about it too.

Seriously though (and without confirming or denying anything about the prior locations of any cards that may or may not have been held by any toasters for 35 turns or more), there are surprisingly few ckill shecks for which a good Purple card gives the Cylons much of a boost. As long as Morale is fairly healthy, at least.

MOVE/ACTION: I launch myself in a viper into Sector 5.

BONUS ACTION: I play a P1 to scout the crisis deck.

You roll a 4!

Just squeaked by on that one. E-mail to be formulated shortly.

Sir? What is your choice? Go for it or roll?

Well, I think we should roll, but I've done enough so far without input. I'd like to confirm that with the others. Are you going to send out the details?

Thoughts:
Obviously, this was a killer crisis to get now, when we’re so low on cards. I could help a little on this check, but we can’t afford to fail it. As much as it kills me to miss the extra jump track opportunity, I think we should choose the roll (given what’s been played, I think it is likely that destiny would be against us, and we know the toasters have plenty that would be negative here).

On the plus side, we have my re-roll option since I didn’t have to use it on the scouting mission. Of course, if anyone has an SP, that would help even more.

Also, with me in the air, and Tigh up next, with the ability to add vipers to the mix or XO me to go after those possible raiders (and scout again), or something else I haven’t thought of, I think we can handle it even if raiders get added to the board.
