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?
Mal: And I never back down from a fight. Inara: Yes, you do! You do all the time!

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.

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

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?
I Choose Option 2 and Play SP-3

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.

I believe I shall activate the Research Lab and draw Purple.
