Apollo shoots at a raider.
Die roll: 7. Hit!
There are now four raiders left, in accordance with the prophecy. Which prophecy? This one:
Fulfiller of Prophecy
Current Player's Choice
Admiral Adama, when you're ready, please post your choice.
BSG (Apollo)
Option 2 doesn't sound too bad except the next crisis card will probably suck. Because they all suck. (BTW, it is pretty easy to believe the other choice you had was worse, Pres, since, as noted above, they all suck). OTOH, not drawing another crisis card just means we'll get whatever it is on Chief's turn. Gah. I don't know.
Anyway, 6 is not a very high threshold, maybe we could pass that check? I would be able to help a little. And losing 1 Pop doesn't seem to bad at this point if we fail.
In conclusion: decisions hard, exploding raiders pretty.
BSG (Roslin)
Yeah, I suppose they're not called "crisis" cards for nothing.
And anyway, this one at least is in my colors, so I could help. But it doesn't hurt too bad to try for the other crisis card either, since the basestar activation does nothing. Maybe this one will be the puppies and rainbows crisis.
BSG (Apollo)
Oh, yeah, another crisis card might give us a Jump icon. Hmmm.
I don't know, Dad. Good luck with deciding.
BSG (Cally)
I can't help at all with the check
BSG (Adama)
I'm going to go with the crisis we know. I pick
Option 1
BSG
The skill check is a go. Possible interrupts: IC, SR, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play.
BSG (Chief)
Pass on interrupts. I can help.
