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

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

BSG

I see we're generally playing low, and I agree we shouldn't blow our wad on this relatively easy skill check. I can't follow that lead, so would it be prudent for me to save my cards for a more difficult skill check? Roslin, could you bat clean-up on this one?

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

BSG

If Destiny is -3 or better, we're already good. If you want to sit this one out, Helo, go ahead.

Well played, Madame President. I think we've got this one in the bag.

Hope so. Mr. Gaeta, I think getting those Civvies to safety on your turn is probably a good idea, if you can make that happen.

That makes the tally 17 + Destiny. As long as Destiny is no worse than -8, you're ok. Well, looks like you've managed to suppress the fairy tale furries, but what of the rumours of plushie-themed nursery rhymes? Will your work be enough?

Destiny reveals: XO-1, IC-3

Destiny is with you! Final tally: 21. Pass, for no effect.

Next, raiders activate. The civvies are now in mortal danger! Finally, the jump track advances by 1. That ends Roslin's turn. Gaeta is up next.
