[7] Leadership + Tactics
Pass: Gaius Baltar (Phyphor) is sent to the "Brig".
Fail: No effect.
Before the start of the skill check, Tenek plays Engineering 3 - Scientific Research, making all Engineering cards in the skill check count as positive.
Politics 1 - Consolidate Power
Politics 1 - Consolidate Power
Politics 3 - Investigative Committee
Politics 3 - Popular Influence Treachery 5 - Exploit a Weakness
20 + 6 - 8 - 5 = 13, Pass.
Since the total is over 10, Professor Phobos has the option of executing Phyphor instead of sending him to the Brig. Before that occurs, due to the presence of Exploit a Weakness in the check, Tenek must select a human player to draw a Mutiny Card. Who will it be?
Hey, you all trusted me, you even gave me your OPGs! Which is funny because that's the optimal move for both human and cylon baltar. This baltar is terrible at being a cylon, due to the brig thing, (unless you get mutineer, that would be perfect - steal/mutiny, steal/brig, reveal) but has a legitimate reason to covertly hurt the humans. My only regret is that cain went to sickbay before my last turn so I couldn't take her token.
Tenek elects to draw the Mutiny card himself. Professor Phobos elects to execute Phyphor. Phyphor reveals his Loyalty Card:
You Are a Cylon: Can Damage Galactica Action: Reveal this card. If you are not in the "Brig", you may draw up to 5 Galactica damage tokens. Choose 2 of them to resolve and discard the others.
Phyphor discards his Skill Cards (Politics 0 - Red Tape, Leadership 0 - Iron Will, Leadership 1 - Executive Order, and Leadership 2 - Executive Order), Miracle Tokens, and moves to the Resurrection Ship location.
Tenek uses his general ability to activate the FTL Control location; Professor Phobos plays Tactics 3 - Strategic Planning to aid the FTL Control roll.
3 < 6, Fail. -3 Population. Professor Phobos draws two cards from the Destination Deck and selects one to play.
I considered it, but I figured it would be ineffective, as I expected more lower value value cards. Plus, there was a very good chance of - DD cards that it would effect
Scout for Fuel is in the discard pile. Need to demetrius Tactics to recycle, but Cylons might get it... 2/7 odds aren't bad. Can also get up to 3 distance out of the mission pile.
Also Phobos, since one of those destinations was 1 I placed back, could I just some sort of thumbs up? *wink-nudge*
The fleet has traveled a total of 5 distance, triggering the Sleeper Phase. Each player will draw a Loyalty Card from the deck, excepting Kaneski, who will draw two more Cylon Motive cards. Phyhor may pass his drawn Loyalty card to any human player.

Oh yeah. Neither destination was bad enough I'd bottom-deck them myself. I mean, sure, I picked Remote Planet over the alternative (Planet of the Magical Sex Fantasy Angels Who Kill All the Cylons And Then Get Everyone New Bicycles +5 Distance, 0 Fuel, Destroy 1 Raptor), but I'd leave either one on top of the deck.
Professor Phobos selects Remote Planet as the destination, placing the other Destination card at the bottom of the deck. +2 distance, -1 Fuel, -1 Raptor. Since the human fleet has traveled 5 distance, the Sleeper Phase is triggered. Each player draws a Loyalty card, except Kaneski, who draws two more Cylon Agenda cards. Phyphor passes his Sleeper Loyalty Card to Professor Phobos.
Lee Adama, knowing that the fleet is in a tough spot, moves to Galactica to oversee emergency jump preparations and calls up for Helena Cain to be put back on active duty. The Admiral springs into action and calls for the arrest of another of the fleet's prominent figures, Gaius Baltar. Sensing his hostile motives, the cult personality is executed to prevent him from making any more trouble. Meanwhile, emergency jump preparations are completed and the fleet jumps away - but not everybody makes it to the designated destination. However, there is hope that some of those that made wayward jumps can be brought back to the fleet, but it will take resources to do so. It falls to President Lampkin to make the call to go find and bring back survivors of the last jump or to abandon them to their fate...
Crisis Step: Rescue Caprica Survivors
President Romo Lampkin (blahmcblah) must choose:
A) -1 Fuel, -1 Food, +1 Population. OR -1 Morale.
After Crisis: Activate Raiders, Advance Jump Preparation
Just in terms of strategy, this will be the last jump (barring some kind of 1 distance/1 distance fuckery) where I can Blind Jump us, so we should probably destination scout before then if we're still planning on a Blind Jump at some point.

Time to find out whether or not Violent Outbursts made it in from Destiny, I guess.

Edit: Sorry, didn't see the bold green. Too late, I guess.
Ehh... better than having you spike 2-3 more checks in the meantime. Well.. about 50/50 I'd say.
There needs to be some serious Demetriusing to make up the cards you broke.

Geth roll 1d8+2 for FTL Control
Surprised you didn't try red tape to stop the brig.
Distance +2, Lose 1 Fuel, 1 Raptor.
Yeah, but I think we should definitely work on the fuel issue still.
