Battlestar Galactica XX: The Super Crisis Shuffle

@rho21 has a message for the Cylon raiders

Rolls 3,3,4,5

Now those last two barely scratched the paint on the Heavy, but what can you do.

but that’s where the happy news ends.

Terrorist%20Bomber

starting with new (old) president @Perky_Goth

Well, it’s a good thing I have a lot to read, because I’ve got no card for this check.

0 cards

Sorry I am light here. I believe in you though guys.

@jeffreyb

As I expected, Quorum cards are great, but situational. There’s bigger priorities at the moment, and unknown loyalties. If and when I draw more, I’ll use my OPG to fish for something we need.
Vote for me next election!

I can help very minimally here.

Uhh, so can you help @rho21?

I can help a bit but going to need a lot more to save the president.

Destiny was rebuild so Is 66% against us

The president? This is aiming at me.

I can do enough to make us pass this one, with your assistance, but I’m not sure it’s worth the cards. Not the end of the world if I end up in sickbay: just means I need a full XO rather than a single action to be useful.
Morale is also high (is it really at 9?), though I’m always concerned about losing any resource.

If you prefer not tanking it, let me know before you play anything.

No, I was thinking along your lines. Let’s say I can do what you need if we don’t go for it.

Will let you make the final call though

Maybe the president can speech again

Tank away @CraigM

OK, let’s tank it. Maybe destiny will like us enough to not make this reckless.

Why did he always get tabbed for VIP duty? Why, especially when the Cylons had just shown up again, couldn’t they wait. And why have the only pilot pulling their weight be the one to shuttle VIPs?

Oh, that’s why, VIPs didn’t like shrapnel and so far he’d proven to be the only pilot worthy of the title that wasn’t holed up in political assylum.

So he dutifully docked on Galactica, and in a fit of pique, insisted on carrying the suitcase, in that way that amply demonstrated his annoyance with the assignment by an overabundance of faux service.

This was a mistake, because it set of the detonator early. Simultaneously not harming the intended target, while making Cole take the full force.

On the bright side it didn’t happen in space.


Skill Cards

Politics 1CP, 1CP

Total -2, fail and trigger reckless

Treachery 2GP, no effect.

-1 morale, @rho21 to sickbay.

Heavy raider moves from 2 to 3, jump prep +1

Ok @Perky_Goth its your turn again.

Not a big deal, but Tory is missing her seal of office.

Do we have any strategy to get rid of that heavy? Any chance the quorum deck is holding what we need there?

I can have a reasonable go at killing the heavy if ordered.

Xo would be best but I the chance looks slim for that with only 1 draw. President maybe has the solution to the heavy

If that’s the priority, it shall be done. Do we care about POP to change the dice roll?

EDIT: actually, belay that order, the card can be used to destroy a boarding centurion, is there a reason to do it now instead of shooting something else? Like, not trusting me :)

(Might as well do it now, discard another 1CP (I’m going to regret this at some point) to move to the Quorum Chamber, drawing first as mandated.)

I mean, we can use it later on a centurion, there’s a potential morale benefit to doing it then. Might be wise to keep the card to see if we can solve it another way.

I could make use of an XO or @rho21 could too.

Sadly, an XO is not in the cards. Literally.

Well, if you have something better to do that will be fine as well.

Though you might be cylon like next turn or something

Sigh. I’m the only one who thinks blowing BS is a good thing with the pursuit board. OTOH, we might jump anyway.

Fine, then. Discard another 1CP to move to the Quorum Chamber, drawing first as mandated.
