Naturally, we get the one card that most screws us.
To be fair, the other Riots card wouldn't even give you a skill check. But, yeah. This is nasty, coming right after Unidentified Ship.

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

Oh so interesting what the Gods have tossed out there. I have some CO's in hand, including some long standing ones. Hopefully I remembered them right.

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.

Frak! Of course I wasted all my blue cards on the last crisis.
Grrr. I thought we were going to somehow pull this out. I have to say, I think this was the most brutal game yet, considering how many times Team Human managed to pull away from defeat only to lose in the end anyway.

I'm actually surprised we lasted this long after that disastrous pull of three 1 distances.

Tigh Is drunk. This is never a surprise. But the level of consumption has surprised everyone on the bridge. Everyone noticed a huge change in demeanor with that last attack on the unidentified ship. Frak that broken FoF transponder! And so he drinks. More and more. And shows up on the brig barely able to stand. The President can do nothing. Being an NCO, he still feels the pressure of Chain of Command. He doesn't understand, HE is Tighs commander now.
In the drunken stupor state, Tigh is feeling unusually paranoid paranoid. Since the Fleet killed that last Basestar, there has been no enemy contact. But the Admiral thinks they are hot on the heels of the Fleet. They are not. They have noticed how tenacious the Fleet has been. Easily killing Basestars is not something they like. And the inability to land a boarding party has vexed the Toasters for some time. They have held themselves at bay to regroup. But paranoia is a powerful thing, and when fueled by booze, it reaches new heights.
That leaves the Fleet vulnerable. When the Admiral makes decisions without thought, thoughtless actions result. As one of the Gods of Kobol, it saddens me to report to the rest of the council, that our beloved Colonialists have failed just shy of their destination. It seems our President finally was showing some balls, and came over to Galactica to have a talk with the Admiral. But before he could do that, the Admiral flew to FTL control, pushed out the poor Ensign that was filling in on the 3rd watch. The Admiral punched in some random numbers to the control pad, sent the drunken coordinates to the Fleet with urgency. Before anyone had the chance to object to the coordinates, the order to jump was given.
It is with heavy heart that I report to the Council, I could not intervene in time. Our lovely humans were so close. Alas. Instead of jumping into the orbit around Kobol, they jumped into orbit of the star that warms Kobol. A low orbit. One that burned the fleet, almost instantly.
