Um. Humans. Need advice here. We got a lot of Bogeys in the air. Here are my options.
- Fix stuff (I'm thinking RSV's!)
Here's the bad option:
- Currently I have (2) mutiny cards. If our crisis card has a jump icon, I get a third, which puts me in the brig. Which would mean I would have to *play* a mutiny card. And while they aren't horrible. They aren't good either (I know, shocking, given their name and all).
I'm leaning towards the bad option. But didn't want to jump into it, and y'all think "OMG Chief is a toaster! Murder/death/kill him at once!" My thought being, we don't want folks in the pokey when there is so much crap in the air.
Thoughts?

It's hard to advise without knowing what kind of damage your Mutiny cards might do. Obviously, fixing Vipers would be great right now.
I don't think there's an easy way to get myself another Miracle token, huh. Sometimes I wish I hadn't already used my OPG. I like getting people out of the Brig! And stealing their cards, that's pretty fun too. In any case, we have other debrigging options available in the worst-case scenario. In the end, it's up to you, since you know what adverse effects your Mutiny cards have.
Your Crisis might
not
have a Jump icon too. (Being Mutineer is tough. At least you actually remembered how it works, unlike me.)

Ha! You are too kind. No. I have a great GM who reminds me. I can't tell from the email, but I think it has maniacal laughing in the background.
Hmm. Such a debate. I wish I could share what they are. Well, Zarek knows. But. Still. Ugg. Decisions.
BSG (Romo)
(Our great GM tried to remind me too, but I didn't see it.)
Good point about Zarek, though. Maybe he can offer some advice.

Note to self: move maniacal laughter to foreground.
BSG(Zarek under the gag rule)
I don't think the secrecy rules let me refer directly to the cards' content but-
If you stay on the Hangar Deck and play a Mutiny card, Romo or I can XO you to fix all the Vipers, if you've got enough Repairs.
BSG (Kat)
That sounds like a decent plan.
