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

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:

Code Blue
 Current Player's Choice

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.

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

BSG

Either way we lose all our cards. Should we just go for it? I think we're better off losing morale and having a player in sickbay than we are with 12 brand new treachery crads in our hands.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Still at work... um.. working... Maybe I should put that in quotes... "working". My cheat sheet is at home, but the e-mail said nobody has more than 2 cards anyhow.

This is tough. I'd rather not go to the brig. I'm leaning towards option 1. It's a matter do we tank it or not. Do we have a way to get me out in a timely manner? :: bats eyelashes in a come-hither way ::

Option 2 would leave us all high and dry for awhile. Which doesn't seem like a good idea either.

I'm thinking take one for the team here.

BSG
Option 1: Skill check (13 YGP)

IF we want to tank it, I'm ok with that. Not happy, mind you, but ok. I have never seen the treachery cards in action, but something tells me it ain't pretty. And I'd rather not have only treachery cards to play.

(gosh, you forget to say "OVER" at the end of the transmission, and they brig you! WTF?!?)

I can help a little but I vote to TANK (sorry about that Chief Anders) so I can save my XO for my turn.

I vote to TANK.

Also, omnis, one of the Quorum cards is a Presidential Pardon. See my note above.

I think you meant to say "WTF?!? ...Over."

Skill check ahoy! The President and Admiral have both voted to TANK. Because that's leadership! Everyone else, please pass or play on interrupts, and indicate whether you vote to TANK this check.
