President Roslin has ordered Dr. Gaius Baltar to develop a method for detecting human from cylon. Unfortunately, his work has been sabotaged!

So unless he tornadoes in here, miraculously healed, I'm bumping crimsoncoyote. I think MacGuffin was the last person I kicked off the list, I'll PM him and see if he wants in.

On the theory that people closer to their turn should contribute more, I submit One card, helping a lot.. Hopefully some of our tacticians and leaders can hold onto their hand a little longer.
Apollo, I also need to know your intentions for your multi-skill next turn, whenever you get a chance.
This seems like a good time to remind folks to send me their contingencies for use of Strategic Planning, Declare Emergency, Investigative Committee, etc.
Remember that I have a vested interest in how this check comes out. And this is a brilliant time for sabotage, so you can't blame me for wanting to be safe.
Thinking about yourself, Gaius? How unlike you!
There is nothing unreasonable about wanting to make sure my work is preserved.
While also making sure you are preserved.
I might argue that I am an essential component to my work, yes!
Hey I'm sorry guys, a lot of shit happened IRL yesterday and I barely even turned my computer on. Reading the developments now and prepping the next post.

Apollo will dabble a bit in each, taking one leadership and one politics card. He then flies to Galactica's fore, opening up on the cylons with Maximum Firepower (Piloting 3), starting with the heavy raider.
Apollo re-prioritizes, leaving the Heavy Raider to its Heavy Raider-ness. Instead, he opens up on a group of nearby Raiders. And man, he Godsdamn destroys those frakkers.
In the aftermath of such a glorious assault, the press are all vying for interviews with the famed Captain Apollo. The subject of the interviews inevitably turns to Apollo's knowledge about the Cylons. How much does he tell them?

The bad news: That means we have to wait for his decision on whether or not to contribute to this check. ;-)
I'll contribute 1 card.
Does someone have a Sharon "Space Bitch Boomer" Valerii avatar I could use?
Does this work for you?
That's one of the best boomer avatars I've seen, thank you.
Glad you like it; the original is from http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/images/downloads/desktop_boomer_800.jpg

A Heavy Raider launches from the basestar. Jump Prep advances. Board image for Apollo's turn inbound.
I need your decision on what to draw from your multi-skill, then I'll PM you your skill draw all at once.
And if you already know what you wanna do, go ahead and list that too, I guess. ;-)
The first shot goes wide. Apollo takes a moment to re-assess his tactical situation.
(No one had any relevant contingencies in place regarding Strategic Planning, so it was not used. Not that it would have helped.)
Apollo, will you continue firing at the Heavy Raider?
Apollo re-prioritizes, leaving the Heavy Raider to its Heavy Raider-ness. Instead, he opens up on a group of nearby Raiders. And man, he Godsdamn destroys those frakkers.
