You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Our wings are not tired

I'd like to at least try for the check. I only have two cards, and can only help a little, but if we tank or if we play into the check I'm still going to lose both cards if we don't pass, so I don't see any gain by tanking.

If you fail this check, you lose 1 Morale and Anders goes to the Brig. You don't lose any cards - that was the outcome of Option 2.

Plus, if we tank, then we gotta burn cards to get me out, unless luck is a lady, and the president gets the get out of jail free card from community chest.

If we can, I vote we try... pleeeease.
