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

I presume you're activating the Occupation Authority, so you may draw a Quorum card too. Card sent. Now, let's see if the people are inspired, or if they're too busy groaning under the yoke of oppression to listen:

Die roll: 4 + 2 = 6. Pass! Morale increases by 1.

In addition, playing a Quorum card causes two things:

1. Due to your Adaptability, you may draw 2 skill cards of your choice. When you're ready, please post your choice.
2. There will be a die roll to see whether you are sent to Detention. Possible interrupts: SP. Everyone, please pass or play. You can send me COs for Calcs too.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

BSG

I feel inspired! But not inspired enough to keep you out of Detention. Pass on interrupts.

I..did not know that was going to happen. Anyway, I can't help with interrupts but there may be something I can do if you end up stuck.

It's fairly well hidden in the Pegasus expansion - it only appears on the President card. I mentioned it in the New Caprica primer I sent to all the players.

So you did. Which I swear I read. It just got by me.

It doesn't really stand out. Unless you're the President, maybe. New Caprica can take some getting used to.

I have COs from the Admiral to play an SP-3 on the Detention die roll. Now, the wording of the die roll says "When you play a Quorum card", while the wording of Tory's Adaptable ability says "After any player uses the action on a Quorum card". The Detention roll therefore happens first, i.e. now:

Die roll: 7 + 2 = 9. Pass! The President remains free. Once Tory posts her choice of skill card draw, we'll move on to her crisis.

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

2 Purple, please

and thanks for keeping me out of jail, Admiral.

Cards sent. The Cylons haven't brigged the President, but they're still looking to deliver a strongly worded memo. Tory's crisis is:

Meet Liaison Officer
Skill check (10 YP)

Possible interrupts: IC, SR, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself.

edited because premature! But if we go for the check as I assume we will, I can both help and investigate.
