No, I'm just pointing that out as a reminder if we do go for the check. We should only go for it if we can pass it.
That's beautiful. Or taken literally, incredibly gross.

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

OK. That makes more sense. I can help a little.

I can help a little. This is sounding iffy.

I can help on this one.
If only both colors were in my card draw, since I will have to discard down to 10 when we are done. With what everyone else is playing, we should clear Destiny!
I pick Option 1. Go for check!

Baltar uses Investigative Committee! It's super effective!

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

It's check time! And Hoshi, as current player, has a decision to make. Two players both want to play a Reckless interrupt, but a maximum of one may be played on a given check. Helo tries to play a Guts and Initiative 2, while Cottle wants to play a Jury Rigged 1. Admiral Hoshi, which one do you accept?

Is G&I the one that eliminates Destiny? If so, I vote for that one, since it will eliminate all uncertainty.

I'm not worried about the height of the check, I think we can clear it, no problem. Since it's an open check, it will be even easier to hit the mark. So I pick the no destiny option. I pick Helo's G&I card.

Hoshi opts to use the G&I. But the plot thickens further: on hearing that the Admiral prefers a G&I, Cottle steps forward again, and offers a GI-1 in place of Helo's GI-2. Since his is cheaper, I assume Hoshi will accept Cottle's card.
That's it for interrupts. I also have everyone's play:
Unsettling Stories:
9 YG
Destiny:
0 cards
Apollo:
Executive Order 1, Dradis Contact 0, Bait 0
Helo:
Declare Emergency 4, Quick Thinking 0, Bait 0
Cottle:
Executive Order 2, Dradis Contact 0
Leoben:
Consolidate Power 2
Baltar:
Dradis Contact 0, Dradis Contact 0
Hoshi:
Bait 0
That's quite a lot of Treachery there. Anyone would think this card had a Consequence, with the number of 0-value cards getting tossed about. Oh, wait, we also have a result:
Tally: 9 - 0 = 9. Pass! So that's nice. Finally, Hoshi, Helo's QT-0 allows you to take one card from the check (up to 3 value) and add it to your hand. If you take anything with a positive value, the check will fail (though if you take a 1- or 2-value card, a DE will salvage the check). You can also take back one of the Treachery cards (you can't take the QT-0 itself). Would you like to reclaim a card, and if so, which one?
