A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

Unless anyone would like to volunteer an SP, I'm not sure it's worth risking the Vipers on a die roll.

I can't help with the die roll. I could repair Vipers that get damaged, though.

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

I'd hate to waste the chance of extra fuel so early in the game. I say go for it. Chief can repair if they get damaged. That's a lot of fuel!

Admiral, the President respectfully advises you to go for it. Risking your pilot's lives now may save thousands in the near future. That.....IS what the military is here for, is it not?

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

BSG

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

Per CO, Gaeta plays an SP-4. The vipers make their approach:

Die roll: 7 + 2 = 9. Pass! Fuel is on its way up.

I know what you're thinking: that was all too easy, wasn't it? Not really; this is all too easy. Gaeta's crisis is:

Weapon Malfunction
Skill Check (11 PRB)

Here's the deal: if you pass this check, there's no effect. If you fail it, there's no effect. There's no effect from the Cylon activation, and there's no jump icon. You've hit the crisis equivalent of Free Parking. I'll give you all some time to declare whether you still want to try the check, for whatever reason; if no one says they do, I will declare this check tanked and move on.

Awesome! I hate when we waste SPs, but awesome!

there's no jump icon.

Curses! But, hey, if we hadn't jumped, we'd be stuck back with that basestar.

You've hit the crisis equivalent of Free Parking.

Awesome! Um, I say we tank.

Ha, I searched, and the last time we got this Crisis, it was the worst possible time. This time is better!
