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.
BSG
or the hangar deck and maybe take out all the remaining raiders. I'm just sayin'.
BSG
Yeah, I was thinking the hangar deck in my original fantasy, really.
BSG
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?
BSG
Apollo is fantasizing about me on the hangar deck.
BSG
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.
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.
The former. That card is badass. Even if you roll under four, you'll still destroy at least one Raider.
BSG
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.
BSG
I have had a few high value purples in my hand recently.
BSG
That's true. You had some high SPs.
I will draw 2 Yellow, then. I'll have to wait to see what they are before putting in COs; if they're both really high, one may be useful to keep. If I get two Red Tapes again, I will punch someone.
