Die Roll: 3. Miss. Sadly, the Chief is still shaken up by his recent disastrous foray into the world of gender relations. His comment that "A basestar is like a woman" doesn't seem to have gone over well with any constituency.
Uh, the Chief gets another shot on an XO.
BSG
Dang it. Sorry, I've been jumping the gun. Chief, you still have one action left. What would you like to do for your second action?
BSG
I'm not looking at the Crisis Card yet. Fire better, Chief!
BSG
I'm not looking at the Crisis Card yet. Fire better, Chief!
Look away, look away!
BSG
Oh shit, I peeked! Choice A says that if you destroyed a basestar, we all get to draw a bunch of cards, and Choice B says that if you did not destroy a basestar, we all get to draw a bunch of cards.
BSG
Oh shit, I peeked! Choice A says that if you destroyed a basestar, we all get to draw a bunch of cards, and Choice B says that if you did not destroy a basestar, we all get to draw a bunch of cards.
Curses! I've been found out! Of course, they're all Treachery, but hey! Cards are cards, right?
BSG
Oh, sorry, I forgot to leave my second-verse-same-as-the-first COs in case of miss. Fire again, please. This time with more boom.
BSG
More boom? Chief, I'm beginning to think you may have a boom addiction. Anyway, I have passes on interrupts left over from last time, so:
Die roll: 8. Basestar destroyed!
Ok, now you can all look at the crisis email. It's still:

Anders, when you're ready, please post your choice.
BSG
Yay boom!
Well, both those options kind of suck. But, Jump Prep is always nice.
I can't help with the check if we go that route, but otoh, I don't lose anything if we discard, so...my point is, I don't have any business having an opinion. I'm just going to keep busy tightening up the aim on this thing, don't mind me.
BSG
Oh, yuck.
Option 2 will leave everybody with a hand consisting of 2 Treachery, which sounds like a formula for disaster.
On the other hand, after that last check I don't think we have the cards to pass Option 1. I hate to say it, but tanking the check may be our best option. Note that while I don't currently have the pull with the Quorum to get someone out without a skill check, if I move to the President's Office on my turn and XO someone, I can then be XO'd to draw up to 4 Quorum cards.
