    If you three are contributing, I think I should pass on this one. I have some decent cards that we can save up for a later check and we still don't want to overkil this.

    I think we all know a good reason for someone else to be President, Gaius.

    Starbuck's turn:
    1. Draw cards, with engineering for bonus draw
    2. Stay put
    3. Scout the destination deck
    Scouting: 1d8, need a 3 or better for success
    (1d8): 2, Failure! Destroy a raptor; it didn't make it back with any report.
    4. Crisis!

    Prisoner Revolt
    11 Politics, Leadership, Tactics
    Pass No Effect
    6+ -1 population
    Fail - 1 population and the President chooses another player to receive the President title.
    (activate heavy raiders)
    (jump prep)

    Cards put in for crisis:
    Helo 0
    Baltar 1
    Starbuck 2
    Tyrol 2
    Adama 2

    Cards for skill check:
    Positive
    2 Politics - Consolidate Power
    2 Leadership - Executive Order
    2 Leadership - Executive Order
    1 Leadership - Executive Order
    1 Leadership - Executive Order
    2 Leadership - Executive Order
    2 Tactics - Launch Scout

    Negative:
    1 Engineering - Repair
    1 Piloting - Evasive Maneuvers

    Total: 10 Failure!

    Sensing the eminent failure, Helo leaps into action and Declares an Emergency (3 Leadership), saving the day and bringing a successful resolution to the crisis.

    Skill check difficulty 9, total 10, Success: No effect.

    5. Activate heavy raiders: Basestar launches a heavy raider at 3 o'clock
    6. Jump prep advances

    I'll pm new hands to everyone, since you all ended up using up at least one card. Chief's will include his draw, and you're up. Status update and new board in next post.

    Hmm. I think we can take the hit to population whereas I really don't want to see those Raiders start shooting up the ass end of the ship.

    I say we jump.

    Chief's turn:
    1. Regular hand draw
    2. Move to FTL control
    3. Activate the jump; risking a population loss of 1. Tyrol needs a roll of 7 or better to avoid population loss; I'll give a bit of time to see if anyone wants to apply Strategic Planning to this roll in an attempt to mitigate the risk.

    Hearing nothing for several hours, and not having any contingency plans, on with the regularly scheduled jump, already in progress:
    (1d8, success on 7+): 3. One of the civilians didn't make it, Admiral. -1 population.

    Sending potential destinations to the admiral now for his consideration.

    Feel free to discuss, then PM your contributions to the check. Also, Adama, I need to know what one card you will be drawing while in sickbay. That can be announced publicly or PMed; it will be public knowledge at the start of your turn.

    Well, at least it's only 1 Morale. Not a bad one to lose, if it comes to that.

    Low Supplies
    7 Politics, Tactics

    Fail -1 morale. If food is less than 6, -1 additional morale.
    (activate raiders)

    With all crew members reporting, we have the following:

    Cards put in:
    Destiny Deck 2
    Helo 1
    Baltar 1
    Starbuck 0
    Tyrol 1
    Adama 0

    Positive cardss:
    1 Politics - Consolidate Power
    2 Politics - Consolidate Power
    3 Politics - Investigative Committee
    3 Tactics - Strategic Planning
    5 Tactics - Strategic Planning

    Negative cards:
    NONE

    Total of 14, success beyond the realms of mortal imagination. Or something.
    You all manage to convince the fleet that supply levels are just fine, despite the fact that they've had nothing to eat but protein bars for three weeks now. You amaze me sometimes.

    5. No enemy fleets to activate
    6. No jump prep; too busy dealing with supply issues.


    PMing cards to everyone who contributed and to Adama, with his shiny new tactics card.

    I am getting off this frakking gurney and getting this show back on the road.

    I'm going down to the Research Lab to get some of my old files I left with President Baltar. I've got to get some control back of the situation.

    Adama's turn:
    1. Draws a single tactics card while in Sickbay
    2. Moves to the Research lab
    3. Draws another tactics card
    4. Crisis!

    Hangar Accident
    10 Tactics, Piloting, Engineering
    Pass No Effect
    7+ -1 population
    Fail -1 population and damage 2 vipers in the "Reserves"
    (Activate heavy raiders)
    (jump prep)


    Discuss and PM your contributions; this is also the time to play any "before crisis cards are added" . N.B.: This is an Admiral Adama skill check, so all cards of value 1 count positive for the check, regardless of type.

    This might be a good one to let go. It's a big investment in cards, we're good on population, and there are no heavy raiders around to be a threat.

    I could contribute enough to get us closer to the 7+ mark, but not really enough to push it past that.

    Chief, think you and I can manage that at least, save some Vipers?

    I am definitely conformable putting in a strong repair card because I would have to spend it on the raptors anyway. We would need 5+ points after that though. I hate to put in more since we seem to be good on population.
