Well, you 're in the Research Lab, you could troll for SP or Repair. You could XO me for more Blues or Apollo for the Quorum. You could jump into the air, just in case.

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

BSG (Adm. Louis Hoshi)

Given how few attack cards we've had, I think we are ready to get a slew of them. If you can scout, scout the crisis card deck. If you can't, jump in a ship, and launch into space. We can call it "patrol", if it makes you feel better.

Our wings are not tired

BSG (The Doc)

If I get an XO I can run treatments on two people and get some more cards out there.

BSG (Adm. Louis Hoshi)

As much as I'd like the crew to have more cards, I'd be really hesitant to have Helo XO Doc, since Doc plays next. We were pretty certain he was human before sleeper stage... but now? We have no clue who is and who isn't a bread burner.

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

BSG (Apollo)

I'd love to find some useful Quorum cards.

Thrive to spite them

BSG (Helo)

I've decided I'm not in a trusting mood and I'm going to play LS-1 and use my special ability.

Hopefully we can move some crisis cards out of the way.

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

BSG

Normally I don't ask for SPs on scouting missions, but given Helo's special ability, I will pause to check if anyone wants to play one.

Ok, everyone passes on interrupts. Let's see how this goes:

Die roll: 8. Pass! Helo mentioned crisis cards, so I am sending the top two cards from the crisis deck. Helo, when you're ready, please let me know whether to place them on the top or the bottom of the deck (and in which order).

Helo buries both crises. It's power gone mad! Or something. It's definitely alarming, whatever it is. Helo's new crisis card is:

Code Blue
Current Player's Choice

Helo, when you're ready, please post your choice.

BSG(Dr Card-Counter)

Is it just me, or do the Daybreak Crises seem to have a lot more "Discard and draw Treachery" cards than before? Or have we just been "lucky"?

Anyway, how do we feel about the skill check? I can only help a bit.
