It would be really nice to pass this check, but right now we've only Baltar and Dee who can help. Unless Six and Tigh can come through it looks like there's a better chance with the dice.

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

And Baltar's got an SP, which increases our odds from 50% to 75%. I like those odds. Better than our odds of passing the check.
Well, unless he's talking about Calculations, but I have yet to see that ever be used in a game.

I can help a good bit, more if we're willing to be Reckless(winks at Gaius). I say go for the check.

Did you see that? Did anyone see that? Why did she wink at me? ::stammers:: ::flumuxed::
I... I... I think if we are going to be reckless, that should be the Pradmirals call, not some simple scientist whom people want to shoot in the face. Don't get me wrong, I don't want any ships in the air, but 75% seems a might bit better than going for a check and watching someone spike it. Do we have any IC available? That would be handy.

I'm going with Option 2 it seems the safest choice at this point.

Wait,what? You aren't waiting for the Pradmiral to decide if you want to be Reckless. That seems rather hasty. Well, to cover your beautiful ass (and yes, I say that to all the women), I PLAY Strategic Planning 5 to help with the roll.
(what? I told you I could help real good one way or the other. This is what you get for not trusting me)

I thought I had to pick one of the two before anyone could play cards or decide to do anything?

Whatevs. You picked. I played. May the Gods be with us now. We need a hot gal to blow on the dice. Boxcars baby!!! (wait, we aren't playing craps, and it's only one die).

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

That is correct. The other players can proffer opinions, and offer to play interrupts (truthfully or not), and they can certainly put in COs with me; but nothing actually happens until you make your choice.
Which you have now done. let's roll the die.
Die roll: 2 + 2 = 4. Fail! MYYYY SHIIIIIPS!
The raiders activate immediately, moving to Sector 2. Finally, the jump track shifts off the Start. That concludes Cally's turn. Starbuck starts her turn in Sickbay, and therefore may draw only one card. She has opted to draw Purple. Card going out now.
