Sorry, Felix, I can't do anything about our Fuel right now. But I can help you out with your other plan.

I'd be happy to get some of those vipers all fixed up for us in the meantime.

We need to pass crisis's more than we need vipers repaired. We need fuel and morale more than anything else... Dont play a card unless its to improve one of those three objectives!!

Roger that, Supreme Commander. My plan takes all those things into consideration. Like I said, it depends on how our next Crisis treats us, and the luck of the draw.

But now that begs the question... what else can Cally do during her turn besides repair the Super Vipers?

Okay, Supreme Commander. If you want me to wait on those vipers I can head down to the lab and see if I can get something helpful there.

By PM: Cally's orders are to move to Research Lab and draw 1 Tactics Card.

Admin Posts : 192 Join date : 2014-12-01 Age : 41

We have new orders from Pegasus. We're directed to.. destroy the Olympic Carrier and then return to Galactica.

Wait...! It's a civilian ship... there must be some mistake!

This is a SKILL CHECK, now is the time to PASS on all interrupts! OR Play cards (see below)

Looking for Investigative Committee,
Scientific Research,
and/or ONE of the following: Support The People, At Any Cost, Guts And Initiative or Jury Rigged.

Please DO NOT post how many cards you will play into the Skill Check just yet, Thanks!

Apollo: PASS
Cally: PASS
Gaeta: PASS
Tigh: PASS (no cards)

I pass on interrupts.

We don't want me contributing to this check. I can help us out a bit if Destiny works against us, though.

Posts : 108 Join date : 2014-12-02

Wow. Okay...

The bad news: the only way I can help us with this Skill Check is by preventing Destiny cards from coming into play. According to what I suspect is remaining, Destiny could work as much against us as for us. I could eliminate that element of risk, but now is the time to let me know if we should use this option.

The good news: with all the cards he's been stock-piling, I bet Apollo can beat this on his own; and if not, Cally's ability just might save us since she can't contribute otherwise.

Cally, did you find what we're looking for in the Research Lab?

Posts : 39 Join date : 2014-12-11

Felix, I'd say let the Destiny Deck contribute and I can lessen any damage it does. We could use the help if it give it.

And no, I did not find what I was looking for Sad

Sorry guys, waiting on Apollo's response to Skill Check!

The Olympic Carrier 11YGR

Shuffle and Reveal:

3-Critical Situation
3-Investigative Committee
1-Consolidate Power

RESULT: 4 - 3 = 1
FAIL!

Frak! We were't able to call the vipers back in time.. The Olympic Carrier has been destroyed!
A moment of silence for the innocent lives lost today.. Hopefully Kobol is around the corner, the crew is demoralized and we've lost enough good people already!

Morale drops to 3!

Population drops to 9!

A Heavy Raider has been added to Sector 1 of the CFB

The pursuit track advances to Red-2

Apollo! Please choose where to direct the two civie ships!

2 Destination cards have been sent to Tigh. Supreme Commander, where are you taking us?!

Posts : 108 Join date : 2014-12-02

Apollo, you never cease to baffle me. There have been several Skill Checks where you just threw in a card, seemingly for the hell of it, when you knew we were gonna lose the check. It's kind of hilarious, actually. But considering we were counting on you to at least save us 1 Morale, I'd like a good explanation for why you didn't add more cards. You held the strongest hand for this Crisis and made a contribution that was as good as nothing. A poll was done, and the results show you're the one most likely to be caught with bread lightly crisping up your butt. What do you say to that? "Pass the butter"?

And Tigh, was this really the best time to take a vacation?? The ship is falling apart!!

Apollo places Civie C in Sector 3 and Civie D in Sector 6

Admin Posts : 192 Join date : 2014-12-01 Age : 41

Attention crew. We are orbiting a Binary Star, we won't be here long but we ain't leaving without those passenger vessels. There appears to be life on those ships!

Galactica jumps to a total distance of 7 to a Binary Star.

Fuel drops to 2!

It is imperative that we fuel up before our next jump. We may not have enough to make it to the promise land! May the Gods of Kobol watch over us..

Civie E is placed in Sector 1 (in front of Galactica) and Civie F is placed in Sector 4 (behind Galactica).

Gaeta draws 1 Politics, 1 Leadership, 2 Tactics and 1 Engineering for his Receive Skills Step.

Turn 5-3: Mr. Gaeta

Mr. Gaeta please post movement and action when ready!

Finally! Time for Gaeta the Hero to turn things around for us! Crew, I've had (plenty of) time to think this through, and if we follow these steps, we can restore hope in the survival of Galactica! Here's the plan at length:

1. I discard 1-Repair to move to Command and declare 6-State Of Emergency! Now every one of us has an extra action!
2. I 2-Launch Scout. If there's one thing that's been dragging us down, it's losing all these Skill Checks. If we can foresee the next Crisis, it will mitigate the risk of losing yet another one bearing terrible consequences.
3. Supreme Commander Tigh draws Quorum cards and takes action with them as he sees fit. This gives us a chance to boost some of our resources back up.
4. Apollo the #1 Toaster Suspect does whatever with his action, because I don't trust him and don't expect him to help us in any way.
5. The Ever-Adorable Cally plays her XO on me (preferably all night long) so I can Consolidate Power to draw 2 Tactics cards to finally get that Search For Fuel and use my last action to play it (SP in hand, if no one else has). If we really are so unlucky as to not find that card, then I will use my last action to launch Vipers and escort Civilians home (because I don't expect Apollo to do it).

So let's get this done! 5-step program to saving Galactica!

P.S. Tigh, if you're worried about these cards being put to better use in Skill Checks, don't worry, I have that covered This last draw was very kind to me...

Admin Posts : 192 Join date : 2014-12-01 Age : 41

A State of Emergency has been declared!

First, Food falls to 5!

Secondly, Gaeta plays 2-Launch Scout.

A die roll of 3 or more is needed to succeed.. anyone playing Strategic Planning on the roll?

Posts : 39 Join date : 2014-12-11

Oh Felix, you're so funny. You should have your own soundtrack.

I play a 3-Strategic Planning.

That oughta help. Now back to finding that moonshine for the Commander...

Admin Posts : 192 Join date : 2014-12-01 Age : 41

The launch scout succeeds!

Gaeta would you like to scout the Crisis Deck or Destination Deck?

Admin Posts : 192 Join date : 2014-12-01 Age : 41

The top Crisis Card has been sent to Gaeta.

Gaeta, shall this Crisis card remain at the top of the deck or be placed at the bottom?

Posts : 108 Join date : 2014-12-02

Some decent news at last. We should have no problem handling the next Crisis. With all the crud we've had to face lately, it's about time we catch a break. After all, Cally's smile can't be the only good thing we've got going for us...

I keep the Crisis card at the top of the deck.

Admin Posts : 192 Join date : 2014-12-01 Age : 41

Tigh activates his location to draw a Quorum card.

Tigh would you like to draw a second Quorum card or play one?
