Allow me to simplify the situation. Chief Tyrol received an XO, which allows him either to take a move and action, or two actions. Since he moved to Pegasus CIC, he only gets one action. Chief Tyrol gets a bonus action when playing a Repair card, but only on his turn, so it does not apply here.
(One final note: the Chief played a Repair-2, not a Repair-1.)
On to the crisis! The Admiral's been absent for the whole journey so far, and needs a way to establish his authority quickly. Beating the crap out of some crew members should do it. Helo's crisis is:
In the Ring
Skill Check
The usual interrupts: IC, SR, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Apollo will start, Helo plays last.
BSG
I can help quite a bit with this check, and increasing Morale seems like it's worth shooting for.
Also, I will probably be offline for most of tomorrow, so I will just say
Pass on interrupts.
BSG
We are going to pass this damn check. Destiny's a total wildcard now, so I
play IC-3.
I may or may not play into the check, depending on how others feel about their ability to pass the check. Some cards are more fun to play than play into a check.
Wait, does anyone have an AAC? That would be hilarious. Then we could play our Treachery for positive value. Wait, that would also trigger a shitload of Reckless effects. Scratch that plan.

I can help a lot with this check. I'm almost certain we can pass.
BSG
I can help a lot with this check. I think it'd be nice to boost morale. It's not needed now, but it will be! I just know it.
BSG
Aha, actually following the rules makes it all simple! Excellent.
Boosting Morale would be pretty sweet. Hooray Jump Prep!

Have you guys bought stuff through Steam? Was it successful? There's a bunch of stuff on sale right now [link] but it seems a little wonky to me. I intend to buy the giant sims pack, which will duplicate some stuff I have, but I think it'll be necessary to have their version to play? And I saw in the forae an elaborate process to buy the software from Steam, but then register it through Origin (EA's direct store) so that I can buy future expansion packs (Pets!) if Steam doesn't end up supporting it. I dunno. I'm torn. Seems like a large amount of hassle, but a) I have the bandwidth right now and b) it's a pretty legit deal if it works.
I have bought stuff through Steam, big bundle o' games, but then something shiny distracted me and I kind of forgot I had those games to play so it's hard to say if it was worthwhile. I did get everything I was supposed to get, though. I think.
BSG
That's long enough for interrupts. We have an IC on the check, courtesy of Apollo, which means you get to see Destiny:
Investigative Committee 3
Launch Scout 2
Running tally: 5 - 0 = 5. Fail.
Destiny sees Helo going all Fight Club on Galactica, and approves. Apollo is up next. I'm taking COs from anyone else that has them.
