Ha! I was totally drawing yellow to mess with your head, PC, once I knew you wanted the PP. Because the whole game my draws were INSANE! Tory is a card drawing machine, but the draws themselves were crazy!
And no, Cally as Chief of Staff was a lucky guess. But yeah, I was totally trying to win without revealing. But I knew my doom was coming, because I knew Tigh was holding that execute card. I should have tried to take the Presidency instead of the failed brigging. I was distracted during that period.

I KNEW IT. I HATE YOU SO MUCH.
I knew Tigh was holding that execute card.
Ooh, such suspense and terror for you!
BSG
Couldn't I have XOed Kat with my bonus action and let her shoot twice? Holy crap, could that have worked??
...Holy crap, that
could
have worked! There hadn't been any other XOs played that turn, you could've played one. I steered you wrong! Um... sorry about that.
BSG
That would have been awesome. And hilarious.
BSG
Quick, roll the die twice now just for pretend!
BSG
...3 and 6. You guys had one SP left. If it went on the right roll, you live! if not, ah well. I invite everyone to believe that it
totally
would've gone down whichever way you find most congenial.
BSG
...Yeah, we would have used it on the first one. Also, there was one SP played into the check, so unless either Kat or Tigh held one back in the check, we had none.
So...yeah. We still would have lost. But we would have lost AWESOMELY.
BSG
Hee, I did keep an SP, just in case we survived long enough to use it. I don't know if I would have used it on the first shot or saved it for the second, though. I am unpredictable that way.
BSG
If we had done that, then Tory would have tried to give us a Crisis. What would have been her two choices? Could they have killed our Morale? LET'S PLAY THE HYPOTHETICAL GAME WHERE WE WIN.

You had one SP left
after
one got played into the check. You had two going in.

Tory would have been able to pick a crisis called (I kid you not) "Joe's Bar", with a 12 YGB check (what the hell kind of bar is this?) to avoid Morale loss. If you'd got it on a human turn, also to avoid the player getting brigged. There were a lot of Morale-affecting crises coming up (not surprising, 43% of all crises can affect Morale). You could maybe have got through, maybe not - it would've been tight.
Oh, and your next jump? The top two destinations were 2 Distance. The third, which was up for grabs thanks to the Mission Specialist, was 3 Distance.
(PS: on your last turn where you picked up 2 Green? If you'd picked up 2 yellow instead, you would've drawn the PoP-6.)
