If you fired on the basestar or the Raiders, I could help you plan a strategy (although if someone else who's going to draw cards before me is also a good planner, that would be nice). I am seeing the appeal of offense over defense right now, as it is likely to have more of a lasting effect.
BSG
Strategy, eh? I like the sound of that. I move to Weapons Control and fire on the basestar.
BSG
Interrupts! A Strategic Planning may modify the roll. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for using a Calculations.
BSG
Whoo! It's on! Go Buffistica!
BSG
Weapons Control? I thought you would go to CIC, where plans are more powerful. Why hit the basestar once when you can hit it twice??
BSG
Because that would cost me a card and we will be short on cards due to Anders' weakness, or so it has gone in the past.
Pass on interrupts
Pass on interrupts.
BSG
That's true; we did have issues before.
All right, fine, here's your plan (SP-4): aim and shoot.
BSG
Pass on interrupts.
BSG
We have an SP. Now, ah... Um. Where did I put my dice? Has it been that long? Looks like we need a stand-in. This one's mottled red and black, with blue numbering. Let's see if it likes you:
Die roll: 7 + 2 = 9. Hit! And we have a... Critical Hit! One more hit will finish off this basestar.
Not to mention that Admiral Adama apparently took all the wimmenz with him! Jeez, look at this sausage-fest.
That doesn't seem right, does it? The omen of the fleet certainly don't think so. They've demanded to know why no women are in the opening credits! Will they listen to the Chief's mansplaining? Chief Tyrol's Crisis is:

Skill Check (12 YGP)
Possible interrupts: Investigative Committee, Scientific Research, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself.
If you wish, you may also vote to TANK. This vote means that you believe the crew should not even attempt the check, bu let it fail. If all human players vote to TANK, I will simply reveal Destiny (plus any relevant COs) and resolve the check. If anyone does not want to TANK, the check plays out as normal. Voting to TANK does not prevent you from playing into the check if it goes ahead.
