Oh. Well. We tried so hard and got so far, and in the end, it didn't even matter.
I can only help a little. How does it look for everyone else?
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

I can help a fair amount. The question is, would it help anyone if Blue were positive?
Also, given that we just drew Treachery, I kind of wish you'd kept that AAC.....

As do I. Wish we had another one.
Positive Blue would not help me.

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

I can help regardless of whether blue is positive. (I can never remember how much we can say without violating secrecy rules)

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

With so few cards positive, and so many cards drained from that last check, should we just tank, and conserve cards?

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

You can say that you can or can't help. You can say that you can help a lot or a little (or, if playing multiple cards, medium). In this context, you can certainly say whether you think making Blue positive us a good or a bad idea. What you can say about how it affects your own ability to help is a bit of a grey area, but you can check with me if you're not sure of something.
One thing that players can do but usually don't: you can say whether your contribution to a check was high or low (or if multiple cards, medium). That can help people playing later in the check to decide how much they should play.

Sorry, been caught up playing a big game of Arkham Horror all afternoon and evening.
I think Blue Positive would be a good thing.

Well, here's a twist. Cottle likes Blue positive so hard that he interrupts Baltar's interrupt with his own Scientific Research 3! He's the current player, so he chooses which one stays. Doctor Baltar, you may retrieve your SR-4.
Cottle isn't finished. He adds an Investigative Committee 3. This check will now be open.
Everyone else passes on interrupts. The check begins!
Rebuild Trust:
9 YG(B)
Destiny:
2 cards
Leoben:
Preventative Policy 5, Repair 2
Baltar:
Hoshi:
(COs received)
Cain:
Helo:
(COs received)
Cottle:
(COs received)
Running tally: 7 + Destiny. Baltar is next.
