Well, if you don't get the necessary Blue card, you might as well head for another location. Engineering Research Lab or Command seem like smart options.
Still if you don't have a B1 or B2 now, your chances are pretty damn good of having one after your card draw. And I see that if you repair a location, your character card automatically allows you another action. Rocking! You could fix the weapons and shoot the crap out of the basestar all in one go. You just might be up for promotion!
No pressure.

BWAH!

(out of game) Where's Engineering? I don't see it on my list of Galactica Locations.
BSG
Sorry, I meant Research Lab. I always think of it as Engineering as it's the go-to location to pick up an engineering card for us Blue-challenged characters.
I will change the original post too.

Apollo has moved to Sector 3, no doubt clenching his jaw as he goes. Meanwhile, suspicion has arisen that the Fleet may have been infiltrated. His Crisis Card is:
Cylon Screenings
Skill Check (9 YG)
We will pause for interrupts (Investigative Committee or Scientific Research). Everyone who's drawn Yellow and/or Blue, please pass or play. (I have some COs at home, once I get there I'll deal with them.)
Everyone who's drawn Yellow and/or Blue, please pass or play.
You mean Yellow and or
Green,
right?
Also, is it important to tell people what the card does and what's on the line? Or is that just part of the game? I didn't notice the text wasn't passed on with the last card but I see that it wasn't.
BSG
You mean Yellow and or Green, right?
No, Yellow and/or Blue. At the moment we're still dealing with interrupts; the two possible interrupts are IC and/or SR.

Because the game's copyrighted, and this is a public forum, there's a limit to what I can post in-thread. So yes, any card text or board text can't appear here. (The rules are publicly available online, so that's ok.)
BSG
Ok, I have passes from almost everyone, and that's enough time for interrupts. Let's get the check underway. Chief Tyrol, you're the first to play into this check; Apollo will wrap it up.
Destiny:
2 cards
Chief:
Zarek:
Helo:
Starbuck:
Tigh:
Apollo:

I can help with the check, but I'm on the fence about this. Losing morale would hurt, but having our sole leader being a Cylon could hurt us more.
BSG
I am very tempted to let the "Pradmiral" and his "men" figure this one out as a test of his fitness for either sort of command. However, this is too important to all the people of the Colonies let those two be the only fingers in the pot.
