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

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.

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.

In this case, possibly just lucky. This is a Pegasus crisis card (as were the last two cards, Assassination Plot and Unsettling Stories). Though if you draw the Daybreak card Incitement to Mutiny and fail the skill check, you get to shuffle 4 Treachery cards into Destiny. Something to look forward to!

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

BSG (Adm. Louis Hoshi)

Well, option 2 wouldn't do me much bad. It'd be an interesting swap, at best. So, let's go for option 1.

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

I can help a little... an SR would help a lot.

I could only help a little with the check.

Helo chooses the discard! And I have discarad COs for... one person. Helo. Well, clearly you all suck. Those are the easy COs, people!

Bah. Time to do them now. Everyone, please post your choice of discard. Helo discards:

Combat Veteran 3
A Better Machine 3
