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

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.

I can't help at all.

We'll see what the Adama pair have to say in the morning. But I'm leaning towards the OR.

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:

Achievement Unlocked
18 years of marriage

(This is a co-op achievement)

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Would I enjoy Conquer Club if I've only ever played Risk once in my entire life and it was 15 years ago and I don't remember any of the rules or how to play?

Aww, congrats Raq & Random!
