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.
Why couldn't you be dealing drugs like normal people?

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

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!)

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?

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

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.

Gaeta did set the Jump track back and not shoot at the basestar, setting us back on that front as well.
But, yeah, that Crisis coming after the Reveal was NOT good timing. Only time will tell whether sacrificing Zarek was the right move.

Apologies for the delay on this too, but with Gaeta's reveal, he passes his unrevealed loyalty card to another player. He has chosen to give it to Apollo.

Of course he does.
As President, I determine that we need to save all the cards we can, since we just LOST NINE HUMAN CARDS. Food is still above the red, so it can take the hit.
(I hope)
I choose to lose 1 Food.

Food drops to 5. The basestar is incensed - incensed, I tell you! that the humans are so cavalier about wasting food while there are Communists in the French government. It opens fire!
Die roll: 2. Miss. Well, that's disappointing.
That concludes Helo's turn. Apollo has opted to draw 2 Green in his card draw. Apollo, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Just a reminder, Tory draws 2 skill cards when a Quorum card is played. So an XO to me will let me get some useful cards into my hand.
