Okay, I
draw 1 Quorum card,
and will look at it to see whether to play it or draw again.
Mal: Well, look at this! Appears we got here just in the nick of time. What does that make us? Zoe: Big damn heroes, sir.

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

Card sent. I assume you drew it by activating the President's Office, in which case you may draw another card, or play one in your hand. When you're ready, please post your choice. You also have one moare action after this. When you're ready, please post your orders.

Yes, that`s right. I should have been explicit. This one isn`t one I can easily or helpfully play right now. So
I draw another.
And then
I activate the Office again and draw another.
Then I pause.

I have orders from the President to finish her action by playing an Inspirational Speech. This involves a die roll that may raise Morale, and can be modified by a Strategic Planning before the fact and/or a Calculations after the fact. Everyone who has them, please pass or play on SP interrupts, and send me COs for the Calcs.
Playing a Quorum card allows Tory to draw 2 skill cards; she has chosen Green and Purple.

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

Well, since I did just choose to take a Morale hit, I will help us get that Morale back by playing an SP-3.

Starbuck, wracked with guilt, plays an SP.
Die roll: 2 + 2 = 4. Fail. This is out of range to be helped by a Calculations.
How could the people fail to be inspired by Tory's stirring oratory? Maybe it's because they're too hungry. Hard to be inspired on an empty stomach. Cally's crisis is:

President Foster, when you're ready, please post your choice.

FRAK. I hate when an SP doesn't help. I want to take it back!
Food Shortage
Geez, I'm not sure we want to take our Food down to 5. That's a lot of cards to discard to save 1 Food, though.

That'll be the case most of the time, unfortunately. The SP had a 1 in 4 chance of affecting that roll (if I rolled a 4 or 5).

They're both over the hand limit so they'd be discarding some anyway. So it's not as much of a penalty as it might be.
