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.

BSG

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Ah, yes, I had misread the card. Hmmm, I guess I could go either way then. I can only help a little with this check, and would rather not use those cards in a check to be honest. I vote we TANK

This is a 13YGP check. With my Friends in Low Places, escaping the Brig is 5YP, and we'll all have more cards by that point.

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

BSG

Oh I totally forgot about your friends in low places. Very handy.

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

BSG

Yeah, there's no way we can pass this if we couldn't pass the last one. I vote to TANK.

Ok, that's a vote to TANK from Zarek, Helo, Gaeta and Apollo. Anders says he'll go along with a TANK, but begs you all to save him. That leaves the Chief. ...Who has no cards. Ok, this check is tanked. Destiny contributes:

Major Victory 1
Best of the Best 6

Tally: 1 - 6 = -5. Fail. It seems Destiny had some strong opinions about the issue. Morale falls by 1, and Samuel Anders winds up behind bars.

Finally, the jump track advances by 1. That concludes Anders' action-packed turn. Gaeta's turn is next. Mr Gaeta, I need your optional card draw. What would you like to draw from 2 Y/G?
