There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

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

BSG (Boomer)

I'd like to do the skill check but I can't help much. Still I think failing the check is better than sending someone to Detention. I choose Option 1.

I can only help a little. I'm wondering whether it's best to tank and save our cards for a more critical check. Are there any NC checks where passing actually gets us something?

Pass on interrupts, either way.

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

There are in fact no less than ten crisis cards that offer you something for passing a skill check. This, however, is not one of them.

Both Boomer and Roslin have mentioned tanking as an option. A reminder, if you vote to TANK and the others do not, you are not bound by the TANK vote. You may still play into the check. If you are thinking of voting to TANK, then, you can do so without worrying it will shut you out unless everyone agrees.

A reminder, I've heard two players mention tanking as an option but I've seen no votes either way. All human players, please vote whether or not you wish to tank this check.
