BATTLESTAR GALACTICA PLAY-BY-FORUM--SESSION 1

The people of the Twelve Colonies need some new frakkin swear words, because frak just doesn't have much frakkin punch anymore.

I'll have 1 Piloting and 1 Leadership please.

Action Queue:

==> SOUTHERNMAN (Count Baltar) : Move/Action

Suppose I'll do the sympathizer play and have 2 Crisis cards please.

## The top two cards of the Crisis deck have been revealed to SOUTHERNMAN (Count Baltar).

It looks like the Human Leadership is about to have its greatest test ... and you don't need to be a drugged-out ex-president to foresee failure.

CRISIS CARD REVEALED!



"Laura, it's Admiral Tigh. The danger to the populace is too high. We're surrounded, and hope is running out. It's time. It's time for us to tell everyone EVERYTHING."

"It will break their spirits, Saul."

"We have to, Laura. We have to tell them."



Informing the Public
Difficulty 7
Leadership, Politics
Activate Raiders, Advance Jump Track

Current Player Chooses:
Pass: Current player looks at 1 random Loyalty Card belonging to any player
Fail: -2 morale

OR

Roll a die. On a 4 or lower, -1 morale and -1 population




You guys know the drill. Pre-load stuff needs to be gotten in there first, like Investigative Committee. If you'd like to pre-load a Declare Emergency in case the check fails by 2 or less, please PM that to me in advance.

Otherwise, it is up to OZJESTING (Helo Three) to get the skill check officially started with either CARD PLAY or PASS.

# Helo plays ONE card

#Apollo plays zero cards

Laura Roslin plays 2 cards.

Hey! I resemble that remark!

But yes my little Cylon cog-sucker, it certainly feels like we're rearranging deck chairs on the Battlestar Titanica just now...

TIGH Plays 1 Card

Starbuck plays 1 card

Baltar plays 1 card.

SKILL CHECK RESULT!


POSITIVE:

5 - Declare Emergency
2 - Consolidate Power
4 - Investigative Committee
1 - Executive Order


Total: 12



NEGATIVE:


3 - Scientific Research
3 - Maximum Firepower
5 - Scientific Research
3 - Scientific Research

Total: 14


RESULT: 12 - 14 = -2 FAIL!


## MORALE is lowered by 2! Now at 00/12!







As Tigh addressed the fleet, telling them about the truth about the war with the Cylons, how they'd been betrayed, infiltrated, cornered, surrounded...how little hope there was left...how they still had no way of knowing the way to earth...the morale of the fleet seemed to break, instantly.

There were riots, panicks, outright mutinies. The truth was too much to bear, the hopelessness of their situation finally crushing them.





A few ship's captains pulled away and engaged their FTL, jumping...anywhere they could go. Saul knew it was only a matter of time before those stragglers were hunted down, without the protection of the Galactica.

Once he'd finished his address, he stood up, straightened his uniform, and began heading to the bridge. If humanity was to die today, he would give the human race one HELL of a send-off. They would make their last stand, such as it was, right here...and he only hoped someday there would be someone who remembered them.[/i]






GAME OVER--Cylons win due to MORALE dropping to 0!



THE END
