OK, this is a
15!!
Purple, Red, Blue. That seems like a LOT! There is a raider icon, and a jump icon. But with the basestar destroyed (thank you very much), no raiders can be activated, it's just the 3 in sector 4 with Apollo, right?
The card has an
OR
That says to the effect you loose 1 gas if you roll 5 or under
Seems to me we should do the
or
part, and roll for a loss of fuel. I think trying to get 15 points will be a bit much.
Procedure questions: So? If we do the OR thing, that's just fuel lost, and no sick bay/ destroyed raptor thing, right? And what is the significance of "Sickbay". The only thing I found in the book said:
Players may move out of “Sickbay” without difficulty, but not the “Brig.” They may only move out of the “Brig” by
passing the skill check listed on the location.
The board just says I can only draw one card, instead of my normal 5, but is movement out as simple as my movement for the next roll is to go to ___ location?
Please advise. I look forward to hearing peoples thoughts on this.

to remove quote of card, as requested. Sorry about that.
O_A, could you take out the card text? It's copyrighted, and I understand the game's creator doesn't want it being posted publicly.
BSG
The significance of Sickbay is primarily that if you're still there at the start of your turn, you only get to draw 1 Skill Card. You may move to any other location (except the Brig) freely.
billytea, can we just do the OR? Or am I misunderstanding that?

You can indeed. Your choice is either the 15 PRB Skill Check, or the die roll. Rolling the die risks only fuel.
Cool. Just want to make sure I was understanding it right. So BSG gang? What do we think? Laga said she could help a little. I'm thinking 15 would be a bit much. I'm guessing folks are in bed, so I'll wait until the morning.
We'll see what the Adama pair have to say in the morning. But I'm leaning towards the OR.
BSG
Nice shooting Boomer! Way to persevere.
I can help some with the check, as I haven't been playing any purple cards, but can only help a teeny bit. I am okay with the "OR" but I will point out the trade-off is that we are spooling up to jump, which will cost us some fuel as well.
Lee is probably too busy with those Vipers to lodge an opinion, so go for it!
And in non-BSG news, but somewhere Random will see it:
