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

Actually, forget what I said about the TANK vote. It's been suggested that players dump Treachery if the check is tanked, so I'd still need orders from everyone. Asit happens, I already have some orders, first and foremost being passes on interrupts from everyone. Helo is going to play first. (I've received COs from Helo too, but don't feel able to determine the condition on which they're predicated.)

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

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

I'd just like to add, you guys are managing a fantastic pace here.

Jinx!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hey, I have to sleep sometime!

I don't see why. I thought you were omnipotent.

That's why I take power naps.

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

So I guess we're tanking?

2 Cards.

Tally: 0 - 17 = -17. Fail! Looks like the Admiral's information campaign of "THEY LOOK JUST LIKE US NOW! THEY COULD BE ANYONE!", "DEE TRICKED US ALL AND NOW HALF OF HUMANITY IS DEAD", "MY LEG, MY LEG" and of course "THERE ARE MONSTERS IN THE TOILET, JUST WAITING FOR YOU TO TURN YOUR BACK" wasn't as reassuring as he'd hoped. The fleet loses 2 Morale.

Next, the raiders activate. There are 5 of them in Sector 6, who open fire on the RSVs and Starbuck:

Raider 1 = 3. Miss.
Raider 2 = 5. Viper damaged!
Raider 3 = 7. Viper damaged!
Raider 4 = 5. Viper damaged!
Starbuck stands alone.
Raider 5 = 2. Miss.

The raiders from Sectors 2 and 3 advance to sectors 1 and 4 respectively.

In happier news, Ellen's turn ends with the jump prep track advancing. For his turn, Helo has opted to draw Piloting, Engineering and Treachery. Helo, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
