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.
BSG
If you and Anders can pull it off that would rock.
BSG
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.
BSG
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.
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!
BSG
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.
BSG
Ooh, clever. Let's rock this!
BSG
A cunning plan! I have passes on interrupts from everyone else. Anders is up first. I have some COs.
Destiny:

Boomer, we would appreciate it if you didn't play into this check. Remember how nice we were to you? I broke you out of Sickbay and everything. And I got you those octagonal cheese crackers you like so much. Those cost a pretty penny on the black market, I tell you. We had some good times before you betrayed us and sabotaged the FTL and broadcast our location and continued to plot our demise. Good times, Boomer. We had good times.
BSG
I do like those crackers.
We'll see, Baby-eater.
