Gavin, ask yourself this question. What are you more afraid of, a giant murderous demon or me?

SonofaCylon, I can't help at all with this one. Pass on interrupts, pass on the check, and HOLY CRAP WE ARE SCREWED IF WE FAIL.

I...I'm glad we got that Fuel back? I...I guess? Do we have any hope of passing this check after just doing a P(R)B check? We're going to end up losing Food anyway, so tanking would give us a net value of -1 Morale, since we lose the Fuel we just got back. We could have passed that one or this one, but not both.

I can help quite a bit with this check, and I could also play an IC so that we know where we stand on it. What do others think?

We have to hear whether Anders can help, since Cain and I will contribute 0. Destiny is guaranteed to be at least -2, and the second card will almost certainly be negative. Boomer will also play negative. So if you think you and Anders can hit 17 safely (worst-case is 21, but I can't even think about that), then go for it. For the best-case scenario (assuming Destiny doesn't help), you have to hit 13.

If you and Anders can pull it off that would rock.

I can get us a big chunk of the way there, but not all the way on my own, Anders would have to have a decent hand to play as well.

And Anders is going to get his draw next anyway, so if he's holding some high cards, it's feasible. I almost think it's not worth it to burn an IC if it's just you two because the only way to win this is to go all in.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

BSG

May the gods be with us.

I would just like to assure you that the gods are indeed with you. This is way better than anything on television!

Okay, I'm going to go for it. I'm playing my AAC-3 as an interrupt before the check so treachery cards are now positive, but it does make this a reckless check.
