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.

Wow. This is not good. I can help a lot with the check, but I was sort of counting on those cards to use against the bajillion raiders currently swarming us.

Does anyone else have anything they can use to help in this check? We know Destiny is going to be against us, plus both Cylons. I'd say we'd need to hit a minimum of 21 to pass. (Assuming Destiny averages out to 4 Treachery, and the Cylon plays average out to 3 a piece.)

I can`t help at all; I don`t draw those colors.

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

BSG

I have passes on interrupts from all players, and orders from Gaeta. Starbuck is up next.

Destiny: 2 cards
Gaeta: 0 cards
Starbuck:
Dee:
Ellen: COs received
Helo: COs received
Roslin: COs received

In response to Starbuck's question, Roslin's previous comment about this check was:

I can't help with the check, so I'll be hiding under the heaviest furniture I can find just as soon as I convene a committee to investigate this whole mess. Because committees always help.

I can't pass it on my own. Not against both Destiny and the Cylons. As much as we can't afford to lose those 2 vipers, any cards I play into this check would just be wasted.

I play no cards.

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

I am glad my crisis is proving to be pretty SUPER.

BSG

Given the statements by the other humans and the COs I've received, I'm declaring this check tanked. No one plays any cards. Destiny reveals:

Broadcast Location 1
God's Plan 2

So that's nice. The basestar is going to launch 4 raiders (it launches one extra as Massive Deployment is in effect). Laura Roslin now has a choice to make: which two space vipers to damage (there are two RSVs in Sector 5 and Starbuck in Sector 6). Ms Roslin, when you're ready, please post your choice.

That will conclude Roslin's turn. Gaeta has opted to draw 2 Leadership. President Gaeta, once Roslin has made her choice, please post your move and action.

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

BSG

Well, blech. Presumably, the RSVs would be better to take the hits. Is that not the case, humans?

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

BSG

yeah, sorry redshirts.

does anyone have any repair cards?

If not, I'm thinking of xo-ing Starbuck to take out as many of these mother frakkers as possible.
