I'm going to step outside for a little air.
I
play PF-0
to
move to Pegasus CIC, and
play
SP-4
before I attack that puppy.
BSG
Blow it up, Helo! BLOW IT UP!
Welcome to the crew, President Tory! Hope Tom knows it was nothing personal.
(But given that if he hadn't sacrificed himself for the cause,
Pegasus
would be almost destroyed right now and Helo may not have been able to do what he's doing...thanks.)
BSG
Helo fires at the basestar:
Die roll: 1 + 2 = 3.
The Admiral, being unfamiliar with the controls of this newer basestar, has managed to damage Pegasus instead! Specifically,
Pegasus CIC.
Oops. Helo returns to Galactica on a stretcher.
(But given that if he hadn't sacrificed himself for the cause, Pegasus would be almost destroyed right now and Helo may not have been able to do what he's doing...thanks.)
And as befits a noble warrior, he was given a Viking funeral. Of course, you can't set his body adrift on a burning longboat just
anywhere.
You need water. Lots and lots of water. Helo's crisis is:
Water Shortage
President's Choice
What say you, Tory? Does the Viking sendoff go ahead? When you're ready, please post your choice.
BSG
Oh, frakking hell. We are definitely in the downward spiral of OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT that tends to define this game now.
As for the crisis...cripes, Helo just discarded cards! But Tory wouldn't lose any cards. Yet, losing Food isn't great. I don't know.

I can't believe they passed you over for President.
BSG
Helo, that was a valiant effort, but how about on my turn, if I can, I XO you out of Sickbay to nuke that basestar out of orbit? Hopefully we can neutralize it before it starts spitting out Raiders.
BSG
Holy frak! I checked at lunch, nothing. I get home from work, 2 million posts. As soon as I saw ND post the scout, I knew he was a Cylon. Frak.
As for the crisis. Helo doesn't have all that many cards, right? I'd rather not drain food resource. And the new President has no cards, so no loss there. (btw, Welcome, new President Tory!)
BSG
And the great part is, Gaeta did pretty much nothing to cause it. It's all our BAD CHOICES with some help from the Crisis deck.
So my choice is save 1 Food or save Helo's last card. Admiral, is that card something you must posilutely, absitively hang on to?

Helo received his card draw at turn start, so he currently holds 4 cards. If you choose the discard option, he will go (back) down to 1 card.
