Nice save, Helo!!
I move to Sector 3 and fire on Raider 1.
I just think you're freakin' out 'cause you have to fight someone prettier than you.

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

Next on FOX: When Apollos Attack!
Die roll: 1. Miss. Cancelled after one episode! Ah well. Maybe this will make up for it. Apollo's crisis is:
Legendary Discovery
Skill Check (14 PR)
Possible interrupts: IC, SR, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also vote whether or not to TANk. Finally, you can put in COs for your play into the check itself. Anders starts the check, Apollo finishes it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

It'd be nice to pass this one, and not terrible to fail it. I, of course, cannot help. Soon, soon I will be relevant again!

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

pass on interrupts
I can help a little but I would have to spend a lot of potentially useful cards to do so. Gee it would be nice to pass this one. Is there a chance?

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

I can help with this check, but it would wipe me out, as I have only 2 cards. BT, refresh my memory, as someone in the brig, do I draw limited skill cards? Or is it same draw, just no crisis. If it's no draw, I'm hesitant to toss my cards in. BUT this is an awesome check. We NEED to pass this. Adding a distance is HUGE.

While you're in the Brig, you receive your normal card draw, but may play no more than 1 skill card into any skill check (including the check to escape the Brig).

Right! Well, that limits my help. But I can make a contribution. And I urge my fellow Colonialists to NOT tank this check. We need to get to Kobol!

I can help a lot on this check if we want to go for it.
As for interrupts, I'm not sure whether it's better for Zarek to lower it to 10 or for me to play an IC so we can see Destiny and know where we stand. I am kind of leaning toward the latter because with a check this big, we could easily overshoot out of fear.
I agree that passing this check would be great. I sure wish it came with a Jump icon, though, but you can't have everything.

I'd say if you can play an IC, that would be great. I'd hate to overshoot it. Heck, I'd hate for Destiny to screw us, and undershoot it too!
As for lack of jump icon. Dude! It's like 5 jump icons. It's a free jump!

Frak it, let's do this, guys: I play IC-3.
I voted against old-school ICs, but I sure am glad we're using them right now: let's take a look at that Destiny! It sure would be nice if it's positive.
(If Destiny shows Red Tape, I would advise we let it go unless the other card is worth a positive 4 or something. It's going to be hard to get to 14 without 5s and 6s, with our current handicaps. I would also be afraid of attempting it if Destiny is more than 3 or 4 negative. I don't know how much everyone can help, but at least we'll know the score. Although Anders is right, this is a free jump! LET'S DO THIS.)
