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

Does this mean we are going for the skill check?

Adama hasn't made his choice yet. I'm still taking COs, of which I currently have... one.

Since we seem to have lots of help available for the check, I choose Option 1.

Damn overachievers... o wait, that was me.

Since the boss man said we are going for it, my CO has an IC so we don't overshoot. I forget the number, so I'll let Game Maestro share that.

Oh, nice job, Madame President!
Why thank you. It's worth one card to save 4 others, right? And I draw next. Seems like a no brainer to me! The sad thing is, we can't see Destiny. So we want a couple extra points, to be safe. But not a blow out. Now, let's pass this check!!

So, folks at the end of the check, let us know if you can't contribute, so us at the front of the check can gauge how much to toss in the hat. Sounds like me and Kat can help a lot, which is good. I'm the start of this train, and Kat is 2nd to last. So I can get us rolling, and Kat can help pick up the stragglers. Mama wants that jump icon!!! We need OUT of this flak parade before we get boarded!

Just a reminder, value 1 cards count positive because of the awesomeness of our military leader. So that Purple 1 I put in is not trying to tank. Likewise, if you have value 1 cards of other colors, they can help.
