Strategy, eh? I like the sound of that. I move to Weapons Control and fire on the basestar.

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

Interrupts! A Strategic Planning may modify the roll. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for using a Calculations.

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

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??

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.

That's true; we did have issues before.

All right, fine, here's your plan (SP-4): aim and shoot.

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:

Unfair Bias
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.

Critical Hit!

Pass on interrupts.

I can only help a little on this check, unfortunately. And, uh, we really don't want Chief to lose all his cards! He has more than any of us!!
