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

Crisis averted. Ellen has left COs for her turn:
Move to Command, get adroit with Gaeta for 1Y/1G
Action: Play XO-1 on Tory.
Edit: she also left some flavour text:
How you doing, Felix? Here, have a card. Is my honey still not feeling well? Oh, I'm sure he can survive a turn or two. We can too! Leave no ship behind, that's what Saul always says. But before we leave, Madame President, would you like to exercise some presidential powers and replenish your hand?
President Foster, you have received an XO. You may either move and take an action, or not move and take two actions. When you're ready, please post your orders.

Nyergh, I was really hoping you'd assure us a jump icon so my gambit paid off. Well, there's still a chance. Hope you can play two Quorum cards and draw some cards, Tory.
Gaeta or Tory, please XO Adama for me! If things are really dire after my turn, he can push the button. But we can withstand anything but a basestar firing on us at this point. It will take two Raider or Heavy Raider activations to cause us harm, and the basestars can launch all the Raiders they want.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
BSG (Tory)
I think I have four cards.
I'm going to stay put and put some pressure on the quorum.
Esteemed members of the Quorum, may I have your assurance that you all stand behind me during this time of crisis?
I draw a quorum card and wait to see what it says.

BSG (President of Everything)
I like that one, but I'm going to draw another. And for my next action draw yet another quorum card.
Esteemed members of the quorum, there is a lot of crisis going on right now.
Once again waiting to see what I got to decide if I will play or redraw.

BSG (Your Inspirational President)
People of the Free Fleet, [insert awesomely inspirational speech here] thank-you. Good night and gods bless.
I play Inspirational Speech
and use my special ability to draw 2 Purple cards. Is it OK if I see what they are before I pass or play on interrupts for the die roll?

Your ability allows you to draw cards after taking the action on the Quorum card; so no, they won't be avilable to influence the action. I will note here that I have COs from Tory that if this is the case, she wishes to draw 2 Yellow instead.
Not that it matters, because I have COs from Ellen (COs: they work, bitches!) to play an SP-4 on the die roll. And the die roll is:
Inspire me: 6 + 2 = 8. Pass! The fleet agrees, Tory's speech was literally the bomb. Grammar fail, or prescient observation? Ellen's crisis is:
Bomb Threat

If I could help a lot I'd say go for the skill check. If I had an SP I'd say go for the die roll. Ugh that fail effect sucks! Sorry I'm not more helpful with the suggestions.
