The Admiral has chosen your destination. You have arrived at a Barren Planet. Um, again. No, it's a different Barren Planet. He swears it is!
Not everyone's convinced, Admiral. They'd like some assurance that you haven't been leading them astray. Ellen's crisis is:
Cylon Screenings
Current Player's Choice
Ellen, when you're ready, please post your choice.
BSG (Tory)
Well I can help with the check or I can lose my last two cards. Unfortunately I'm feeling a bit faint and I don't think I have the energy to form an investigative committee.
BSG (Ellen)
What does everyone else think? Card hit or go for it?
BSG
I'm not sure about this one. What about choosing option 1 and then tanking? Can we afford the morale hit?
BSG (Ellen)
I think Morale is our highest resource right now, but we will always be taking Morale hits.
Without an IC, we may end up losing more cards than 2 each to pass the check (worst case scenario, -18 from Destiny and Boomer!), so I think our options are really the discard or a tank.
BSG
What are the quorum card options like for a morale boost if we take the hit?
BSG (Ellen)
Oof, if I'm doing the math right, Fuel and Food are at 5, and Pop is at 4. Morale is at 7, which is great, but it won't take much to bring it down to the others' level. Any speeches up your sleeve, Madame President?
Tory is the one with a bunch of Loyalty cards, right? Which makes it less likely I would find a Cylon card if she has one, but it's still a chance. Checking random Loyalty cards after Sleeper is kind of annoying and useless. (But in the last real-life game I played, I had a fifty-fifty chance and did pull a Cylon card, so it can still be useful.)
BSG (Tory)
I gave one speech already didn't I? If not I should have one... let me check...
looking over my notes I find there are some very inspiration areas I did not cover in my first speech and I am ready to give another, even more inspirational speech, just say the word.
BSG (Ellen of Tory)
I'm still a little wary of the Morale hit with our other resources so low. I'm going to wait for Gaeta to weigh in.
BSG (Tory)
Yes and even with the SP a speech is still not a sure thing.
