Hmmm. How do we feel about the check? I can help, and I think I can say, Good Things will happen if we pass.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

By my astounding powers of deduction, I have determined what you are implying there, and I can help with the check if you choose it.

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

BSG (Leoben)

I could help with the check.

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

BSG (Adm. Louis Hoshi)

Maybe it's the 3am insomnia, but I'm not quite gathering the deducing what is being implied.

I'm not 100% sure how the mutiny coins play out, so, it's tough call. Given the first check was spiked, I'd be hesitant to go for a check.

That being said, if we go with the check, I can help a little.

There is a new Daybreak card that causes Good Things to happen if you pass a check.

OK, sounds good. I choose Option 1.

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

The check is a go! Possible interrupts: IC, RO, ASC, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play.

On which note, the check last round was Reckless, which I neglected to resolve. I'll do so before we start this check.

Oh right. Because being backstabbed on the first skill check wasn't bad enough.

Ladies & Gents of the fleet. Brace yourself for impact. We are flying through rough skies right now.

So here is how Reckless checks work in Daybreak. After resolving all the skill check effect cards, we turn over the top card of the Treachery deck. If it's a 0-value card, we turn over the second card and resolve the effects on both cards. (They're not added to the skill check.) If it's worth more than 0, then it's discarded without having any effect. The top card of the Treachery deck is:

Exploit Weakness 5

No effect! The fleet gets away with its Reckless behaviour at least.

A reminder too, while we're dealing with interrupts: everyone can put in COs for their play into the check if they wish. Hoshi plays first, Baltar last.
