I could help a little with the check.

I could help an indeterminate amount with the check; I'm not sure if I should save a card for a future check. There are still a few opportunities for skill checks before my turn comes around again, and I don't want to be cardless.

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

BSG

I was hoping we could tank the check and I'd use my Hotshot ability on the die roll but I just re-read my character details and it says I can only do that on the action phase. I'm thinking (but not solidly decided yet) that we'll suffer least if I choose option 2.

I can help... and it sounds like you guys think we can pass if I help. Is that what you're saying, Tigh & Apollo?

I don't know. Random discard is always a little scary. Losing Population doesn't seem too bad. We might be able to pass the check it's hard to say.

I'm good with any choice at this point.

Yeah, I think 3 out of 4 remaining Destiny cards are positive for this check, so we have a pretty good chance of help there. If you have a couple cards you can play, you will suffer less than if you'd discarded four random cards. And if we fail, it's only 50/50 on the die roll.

If only one of us had an SR, I think this would be a shoe-in, heh.

Apollo seemed pretty psyched. I'm ready to Go For It. I choose Option 1: Skill check.

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

I already have passes on interrupts from everyone (nice going, people), so let's get this rolling.

Destiny: 2 cards
Cally: (max 1 card)
Tigh: (COs received)
Tory: (max 1 card)

Thank-you thank-you. That may have been the most fun I've had playing this game. There was much fist pumping and intoning of, "I rule."
