Excellent, Sector 1 just became a target-rich environment. Who told Kat it was safe to be out there just now? That person could be looking for a briggening. kat's crisis is:
Guilt by Collusion
Skill Check (9 GP)
Possible interrupts: IC, SR, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Adama plays first, Kat last.
BSG (Press Secretary to President)
Wow. Um, Wasn't expecting this. OK. Wow.
ladies & gentlemen of the fleet, we have a test here. Neither option is great. Given the last round, and losing on morale, I think we should be wary of tanking. But passing and brigging isn't exactly a great thing either.
That said, if we go for it, I can help a bit with the check.
BSG (PressIdent)
The Gods of Kobol have sent me a vision. A clarifaction. If we pass, Kat isn't required to brig anyone. she MAY brig someone. So, let's go for this! Let's pass it!
BSG (Kat)
Yeah, there's no reason for me to brig anyone at this point, so let's save that Morale. I can help. Let's try not to overplay, though.

A reminder, per secrecy rules, players may state that they played a little or a lot (or high/low, or other binary descriptors); or if playing more than one card, "medium". Additional refinements are not permitted.
aw I didn't think about how sitting out this game means I won't get to follow along with the crisis cards.
:: tacklehugs Laga:: How goes the transcontinental trip?
We made it to Chicago! Now I'm sitting at the computer with a view of the GIANT screen where the boys are playing RDR. I thought something would be lost when the game got blown up so huge but it's actually way better. And the surround sound is so sweet, I'm noticing things I never have before, like you can hear the windmills creak.
