Meanwhile, the Engine Room has been repaired, and cards gone out. Time for a Crisis, no? Chief Tyrol, I don't know how you got the help together to repair the Engine Room, or what sort of reckless approach you were taking, but your crisis is:
Defending a Prisoner
Skill Check (11 YG)
The usual interrupts: IC, SR, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play.
BSG
Can I switch Cally's sickbay meds with a lethal dose of my smack? Which card do I need to draw for that?
There is a Quorum Card, "Execute Prisoner", that would do the trick. (Note that if you're human, getting executed will cost 1 Morale.)
BSG
Oy. Pass on interrupts. I can't really help on this check.
BSG
Kat, if you can XO me on your turn I can use a nuke and also try to boost our Morale. then if I draw an XO we can try to get you out on my turn, and I should have more cards for that check.
BSG
GODSDAMMIT. I can help on this check.
I also
play SR-5
to limit Cally's and Destiny's spiking ability. Better safe than sorry with this one.
BSG
frak. I can help only a little and I may want to save card(s) for my turn instead.
BSG
If Tigh can't help at all, I'm going to need a little help to ensure we pass, unless Destiny shines on us very sweetly. I can't get all the way there on my own. I hope you have at least one card you can spare.
BSG
You will get your full card draw on your turn, Kat. So there's that to look forward to, at least.
BSG
I wish I could be more specific about my dilemma but faced with it in the past I feel like I frakked up by not making a difference in the check and then not having the card I needed when my turn came around.
