Yeah, the downside to maneuvering now to get you out later is Cally running interference. Let's not wait.

Free Kat now! You'd think as Pradmiral I would be able to just open the doors.

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

BSG

I am pretty sure that's how it works! You don't move. You use one action to pass the brig check. If you pass, you get to move. And then you have another action left! And using the Main Batteries to take out all those Raiders would be pretty brilliant. Then we could focus on the Centurions.

Of course, if you fail the brig check, you will also still have an action left to scout something, I suppose.

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

BSG

Better conditions for prisoners now! I mean- let me out now!

I want to make sure I'm interpreting the CS correctly so if it's not true that I can use it to get another action after I am sprung, I don't play it. Otherwise

I play a CS-4 to not move and instead Activate the Brig Spring me and I shall rain furious vengeance upon cylon ass!

I'm not sold on moving to Main Batteries. I have a couple piloting cards that are just as awesome and it'd be nice to have all the pilots in the sky if we get another cylon attack.

Well, in checking the rules on the CS debrigging maneuver (I haven't found a clear answer yet), I see that when you get out of the brig you can move to anywhere on Galactica only, so my Main Batteries idea will not fly. But you could go to the Armory and maybe take out a centurion.

or the hangar deck and maybe take out all the remaining raiders. I'm just sayin'.

Yeah, I was thinking the hangar deck in my original fantasy, really.

Sure, that'd be a fine thing. That whole launching-gets-a-bonus-action thing confuses me, so I tend not to use it in my theoretical plans.

Eta: so, skill check. How about a Support the People interrupt, helpful?

Apollo is fantasizing about me on the hangar deck.

Which is the better choice, one die roll you hope to get four or better on, or four die rolls you hope to get four or better on? In the first case each pip represents a viper destroyed. In the second, each roll of four or above does.
