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

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.

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?

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

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
Current Player's Choice

Ellen, when you're ready, please post your choice.

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.

Dammit! Overinspired!

Whew, useless Raider activation and jump prep!!

Except I'm not sure about the crisis. Does anyone have an SP? It's a pretty high check, and it may be worth taking a chance. I could help a lot on the check, though. How do others feel? Can we pass the check? I feel like we've been doing a lot of YGP checks lately.

No SP, sorry. If we go for the check, pass on interrupts.

I could play an IC but that means less yellow to contribute.

Oh, is that so?

I choose Option 1. Tory, please play your IC. I play last, and I can bat clean-up.

Investigate away, people of the fleet. So say we all.
