Card sent. We'd best wait for Tory's card draw before going on to the Chief's Crisis.
We'd be dead. Can't get paid if you're dead.

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

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

Well, that doesn't sound good. Really don't want a skill check right now!

Hi! Yeah, I suck at briggings!
But I like cards! I draw purple and green.
(On a player note, I kinda have no idea what's going on right now. But I'm back online, so should be more prompt henceforth.)

Cards that are positive for briggings!

Tory's cards have been sent. Hey, did you know that battlestars used to be wood-powered? Weird, huh? Of course, it's all tylium nowadays, but there's still a bit of the old fuel lying around somewhere. You should probably make sure it's accounted for, wouldn't want it falling into the wrong hands.
Chief Tyrol's crisis is:

Skill Check (14 YGP)
The usual interrupts are available: IC, SR, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself, and if you believe the crew should not attempt the check, you may vote to TANK.

Skill Check (14 YGP)
JESUS CHRIST ON A CRACKER.
Um, I mean, Jesus who? Lords of Kobol on a cracker. I can only help a little on this check, and given that the Cylons have all the cards, I think we just have to tank it.
The only other option, Tigh, is if your two cards can help get to at least 6+. Actually, there's no reason not to do something with those cards, as you're going to lose them anyway.
We do get a jump icon, at least.
Kat, given your ability, I actually suggest that on your turn, if you have a card worth 4 or higher, you just jump us the frak out of here. It's not worth staying here and fighting if we don't have to, and we need to get to Distance 8 quickly if we have any hope of winning. Otherwise, we're just giving Cally and Tory more time to fuck with us.

Is that a vote to Tank? Don't forget to put orders in bold.

Kat can indeed use her ability to guarantee a jump, but you need to reach a total of 7, so she would need to spend a 5- or 6-value card to do so.

I know. I have to wait for Tigh to chime in before deciding whether we can attempt a partial pass.

Wait, seriously?? I thought it was 6 or above. Oh man. Well, that makes that plan less feasible. But, hey, Kat, if you get a really high card, it's still a good plan.

While I think of it too, I believe everyone's back from their incommunicado statuses of last week, so hopefully we can pick up the pace again.

Buck up, Chief. It's Log, it's Log, it's better than bad, it's good!
Yeah, I don't know if we can pass this but I can help and gods-be-damned I will. But no interrupts from me. As usual.
For Kat's turn: jumping is not a bad idea, but it leaves Cally free to wreak havoc on her turn, in her delightful I-can't-help-it-if-my-meds-aren't-working way. Unfortunately, I don't see a way to change that without putting some Civilians in danger. Tough one. You'll have to decide what's most important, Kat.
