Ok, it looks like I'm pretty limited in my options here, so I do not mo e and I play CP1 to draw 1P 1B.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Do not move, that is, although I'm sure I also do not moe.

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

BSG

Cards sent to the moe-eschewing Laura Roslin, along with that Vision thing. Ms Roslin, when you're ready, please post your choice of crisis card.

Roslin has made her choice. The repurcussions of the paucity of din-dins continue to be felt, as the prison ship demands to know what happened to Tuesday's regular falafel night. Roslin's crisis card is:

Prisoner Revolt
Skill Check (11 YGP)

Possible interrupts: IC, SR, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Adama plays first, Roslin last.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

BSG (Cally)

Pass on interrupts. I can help a lot.

I'm not sure it would be a good idea but I'm just throwing this out there- it's my impression that Roslin has felt kind of useless since losing the presidency. Would it be worth 1 pop to give it back to her and save all our cards? Not voting to tank at the moment, just seeing if it's as crazy an idea as I think it is.

Thrive to spite them

BSG (Adama)

I can help a little.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

BSG (Apollo)

We can always give Roslin the Presidency using Administration, which would cost cards but not Population.

That said, failing this check would not be a disaster at this point.

I might be able to help, I'll do what I can.
