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

I can help a lot with the Skill Check. What do the rest of you think?

ETA: I'm also leaning towards the Skill check because otherwise I have to discard 4 cards anyway.

I could carry my weight with the Skill Check.

Okay, let's go Skill Check.

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

BSG

Interrupts! I want to hear about 'em. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Dee to start, Starbuck to finish it.

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

BSG

Pass on interrupts.

I'd just like to add, you guys are managing a fantastic pace here. When I went to bed last night, we were just about to start Laura Roslin's turn. We've done 2 full turns, and Starbuck's orders, over a single day. They were pretty eventful turns too. I reckon this is on track to be the fastest game yet. (Especially impressive given there's all the new Pegasus paraphernalia to deal with.)

I have passes and COs from everyone else. Here's the play:

Destiny: 2 cards
Dee: 0 cards
Ellen: 4 cards
Helo: 0 cards
Roslin: 1 card
Gaeta: 4 cards
Starbuck: 3 cards

Giving us these cards:

Consolidate Power 1
Consolidate Power 1
Consolidate Power 1
Support the People 1
Preventative Policy 4
Executive Order 2
Executive Order 2
Executive Order 2
Major Victory 2
At Any Cost 5
Launch Scout 2

Strategic Planning 3
Repair 1

Tally: 29 - 0 = 29. Pass! Food increases by 1, and Starbuck gets her Perrier.

Next, the raiders activate. There's only one left in a threatening position; it fires:

Die roll = 2. Fail.

Its buddies march in from Sector 1 to join it. Finally, the Jump Prep track advances. That concludes Starbuck's action sequence-filled turn. Dee has opted to draw Blue. Dee, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
