I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

Our wings are not tired

Sorry for the delay, I was dealing with Taxes for the past couple of days.

I do not have an interrupt that I can help with on this check, and sadly, due to my limitations there is no combination of cards that I can play that would end up with a net positive for this check.

BSG

Would it? If it's not a Reckless check and there are no revealed Cylons, I don't think there's any danger beyond failing the check.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

BSG

If we tank this check with a bunch of treachery cards and one of us is a cylon that would be bad.

Why? As long as the check isn't Reckless, nothing bad will happen.

Cally, don't forget that it's your turn so you'll be able to discard a card out of the check before it's totalled. I realize that may not help us enough, especially if Destiny goes against us.

Oh, that is true. So maybe it's worth trying after all? There's a 30% chance one of Destiny's cards will be positive, by my calculations.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

BSG

I think we should go for it.

I do, too. We're all done with interrupts, right? I play one card.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG

So we're trying for it and not tanking? I have no positive cards, so I play no cards.
