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

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'.

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

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.

Abso-damn-lutely! Then I could actually help. I think that if I got the Political Prowess, I couldn't use it because the check would have begun, but, hey, it's worth 6. Or maybe I should go for Purple? Looking at your hands, Tigh and Kat, you have an anecdotal guess as to which stack will have higher-value cards left?

Oh, and the Cylons don't have Treachery yet, so there's just a one in six chance Destiny will do something, if that.

The former. That card is badass. Even if you roll under four, you'll still destroy at least one Raider.

Heh, that's a nice decision to have before you, Kat.

OK, Support the People - 2 and I'll go get some COs started for the check.

I have had a few high value purples in my hand recently.
