My instinct is to tank the Skill Check. We can afford a Food drop at this point, and I think sending a human to Detention would bite us in the plot real hard. Unless someone can Iron Will the check.....?

Our wings are not tired

BSG (Gaeta)

I'd much rather not send someone to detention, it's going to be hard enough getting ships prepped and holding off occupation forces without being down a man.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

BSG (president)

I think tank again.

That's as close to consensus as we're going to get, I guess.

I choose Option 1 and vote to TANK the Skill Check.

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

BSG

That's a vote to tank from everyone but Apollo. Apollo, do you vote to tank or to try the check?

Thrive to spite them

BSG (Apollo)

I'll go with the consensus.

Consensus is a beautiful thing. The check is tanked; Destiny reveals:

Executive Order 1
Protect the Fleet 0

Tally: 1 - 0 = 1. Fail. Food falls to 4.

Adama's turn concludes with an occupation force appearing at the Occupation Authority, and the jump track advancing. Tory's cards are going out. President Foster, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Administrative note: the skill check on the last crisis reduced the destiny deck to 6 cards. I've refilled it and reshuffled. Doing so exhausted the Piloting deck. I've reshuffled the discards.

OK, I'm still a little green on the NC stuff. So? Should I head to the shipyard and prep ships?
