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

Two more RSVs make their presence felt. Eh, I have no segue into this crisis card. It is:

Forced Water Mining
Current Player's Choice

Admiral Tigh, when you're ready, please post your choice.

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

BSG (Admiral Tigh)

Yikes! That's a large skill check. And if we fail, we loose the morale anyway. Along with a ton of cards.

I'm leaning towards option 2, but I most definately want to hear team humans thoughts. I can help a lot with the check. If anyone has a G&I, or IC, that would be great. Baltron only gets to play one. I dunno, maybe I'm leaning towards option 1 now.

Talk to me, Humans.

Baltron, no, I will not consider Research Lab. (Gods, he's like Groot. Saying only one damn thing).

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

BSG (Helo)

Ooph. I want to pass the check and I can help. I feel like we either risk the morale or lose it outright. I'd rather take the risk.

Our wings are not tired

BSG (Apollo)

I can help a lot with this check. I say we go for it.

BSG (Admiral Tigh)

And hey, look at that, our Amazing GM reminded me, that I have G&I-1. Which I play! That should keep destiny out.

GM, secrecy rules question. Can I give an order for play amount into a check? I am the admiral, after all. Just trying to keep from wasting cards.

Oops, forgot to say, OPTION 1

Gods help us.

I would generally advise caution in any such statement. You can say whether you intend to play high or low.

Anyway. The check is now Reckless! Destiny will not play into it. Everyone else passes on interrupts. Help and Apollo both play three cards, while Baltron plays one. Tigh is last to play.

Let's set this up properly:

Forced Water Mining: 17 YGPB

Destiny: 0 cards
Helo: 3 cards
Apollo: 3 cards
Baltar: 1 card
Tigh:

You know, looking at the records, the last skill check you all did was Prison Labour. What the hell kind of slave ship are you running here?!?

Apologies, due to an error of mine, Baltron's play was incorrect. He plays no cards. I also have Tigh's play:

Forced Water Mining: 17 YGPB

Destiny: 0 cards
Helo: 3 cards
Apollo: 3 cards
Baltar: 0 cards
Tigh: 1 card

Cards played:

Iron Will 0
Executive Order 2
At Any Cost 3
Restore Order 3
Change of Plans 5
Unorthodox Plan 3
Unorthodox Plan 4

Tally: 20 - 0 = 20. Pass! Food rises by 1. Next, the raiders activate. Hmmm. We have both Scar and five regular raiders in Sector 3. Current player determines order of activation where it's an issue; Admiral Tigh, should we activate Scar first or last?
