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.

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

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.

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

BSG

frak. I can help only a little and I may want to save card(s) for my turn instead.

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.

You will get your full card draw on your turn, Kat. So there's that to look forward to, at least.

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.

That happens all too often.

Yeah. We've seen Destiny play Red and Treachery already. That leaves, with my SR, 6 positive cards and 4 negative cards. The "positive cards" could be worth 0, though. So while odds are that Destiny will play at least one positive card...I don't even know, Kat. It's a tough decision, I know, and I hate when playing a card doesn't make a difference. But we're really close to losing all our Morale, and I think we have a fighting chance of passing this check. We have Cally and Tory to contend with as well. You're about to get your draw, too.

I advise you to save any card you really want to use on your turn and play another card you MAY want to use but can help on this check.

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

BSG

A certain little boy has decided just this week that sleep is overrated, and indeed to be opposed violently. The upshot of which is that it's 6:00 am and I'm just getting to bed. I've received a few COs for this check; with any luck we'll be able to sail through it once I'm conscious again. Kat, you could also send me COs for your turn if you wish. You can make them dependent on your card draw, notably things like XOs or CSs. (Everyone else, if you think youve a chance of receiving an XO from Kat, by all means send me a CO for how you'd use it.)

Hopefully we won't hold anything up too much.
