Well, there's no reason to go for the check, so I'll pass on interrupts for the die roll.
Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nine—cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.

Great googly moogly. Um, do we want to go for the skill check and tank it? I'd kind of like to not wind up in the brig a whole jump cycle early and Morale is at 9.

Well, there's no gain to going for the skill check, but I think it'd probably be easier to spring you from the brig than to recover morale. Plus, it's a die roll, so you might not end up brigged.

All right, let's do it this way: if Felix has a Calcs, I'll risk the die roll. If not, I'll choose the check and we can tank it. Felix?

An SP could also help on this roll.

You might have been able to guess from the previous turn where I didn't have high level blue to double, but I don't have a Calcs. Or an SP for that matter. In fact, I pass on interrupts.
I still say that it's better to risk you in the brig, which may not happen, than to take an assured Morale hit, for no potential gain.
I do have another way I could aid you, if the team is in agreement, on my turn, should you end up in the brig.

I'm in favor of option 2 but I have to Pass on interrupts.

Ron Moore's BSG is a history of people behaving selfishly when it'd be in their interests to collaborate, alternating with choosing to trust and being screwed over. How can I fight the tide of narrative?

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

Boomer steps in to thwart the genocide, and undertakes her own defence!
Die roll: 6 + 2 = 8. Pass! Her "Aw shucks!" Mary Tyler Moore-esque charm wins over the jury! She walks free with a verdict of "That's so Boomer".
Finally, the jump track advances. Boomer's recon is going out, along with Ellen's cards. I have COs from Ellen, which I will post shortly.
