What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

BSG

8. Hit! Basestar destroyed!

I thought he was firing on the raiders. She. He. Ellen. You know.

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

BSG

Everyone, please pass or play.

Oh, right. Heh. Ok, well, it's still a hit, so 1 raider destroyed. The basestar is still there, mocking you.

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.

BSG

Firing on Basestars is generally much preferred with Galactica's main weapons. Shooting raiders is what we have vipers (and hot-shot pilots) for.

I can help a lot on this check.

I pass on interrupts.

You're late to the party, "hotshot" - and not *in space* at the moment, anyway. AND you punched Saul. I don't like you, and feel it necessary to do your job for you. Be a nice little girl and shut the frack up.

I play At Any Cost because I really, really don't trust you "people".

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

BSG

I can't help with this check, but I have faith in the rest of you.

Couple of questions. If someone were to play God's Plan, Sabotage, or Human Weakness into this check, they'd count positive (thanks to Ellen) and not trigger anything to happen, is that right?

And if we pass, our distance travelled will advance but we won't jump as such, am I reading that right? The basestar and raiders will stay right where they are with us.

Our wings are not tired

BSG

I can help with this check.

BSG

I can help with this check.

And, -t, I think you're right on both those counts.

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

BSG

I'm afraid I can't help at all with this check.

Correct. By Your Command, Broadcast Location and Special Destiny are the cards that will trigger an additional consequence.

And if we pass, our distance travelled will advance but we won't jump as such, am I reading that right? The basestar and raiders will stay right where they are with us.

Also correct.

Now, before we go any further, a little housekeeping. I forgot about Ellen's ability. Since she ended her Movement phase in the same location as Dee, she can be Politically Adroit. She passes a card to Dee and draws 2 Leadership. (I'm allowing it because Ellen's skill set is negative for this check anyway, and as a new Pegasus rule, I'm chalking it up to teething problems.)

I have passes on interrupts from everyone else. Thanks to Ellen's interrupts, Treachery now counts positive, and this is a Reckless skill check. We may now begin. Helo is up first. (Note that I've received COs from Gaeta. Everyone else, feel free to send me COs for your play too.)

Destiny: 2 Cards
Helo:
Roslin:
Gaeta: COs received
Starbuck:
Dee:
Ellen:
