If I am around at the time, Helo (or if you want to wait for me), I can give you vague advice on how much or little you need to help, if you don't want to go all in.

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

BSG

We have an IC on the check. Other possible interrupts: SR, Reckless interrupts.

Because there is an IC on this check, all cards (including Destiny) will be played face up. This means that if anyone would like to put in COs, you can make them conditional on the running tally as at your turn to play.

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

I look forward to receiving your vague advice, Apollo.

Ok, that's long enough. We have an IC and passes on all other interrupts. The check begins. I have a couple of COs:

Destiny: Maximum Firepower 3, Establish Network 0
Chief: 0 cards
Anders: Run Interference 4
Gaeta:
Zarek:
Helo:
Apollo: (Very detailed) COs received

Running tally: 7 - 0 = 7. Fail. Gaeta is up next.

Maximum Firepower 3, Establish Network 0

Hey! That's a pretty good start!

Running tally: 7 - 0 = 7. Fail.

But we're only 7 away! We can do this!

Apollo: (Very detailed) COs received

Infinite possibilities!

I hope Gaeta can pitch in, but I think my general advice since we're halfway there already is save any cards you want to play for their effects and play what you can otherwise. I think you should also save EMs since you can actually play those from Caprica.

COs mean never having to wait. I'm just saying.
