Stunthusband, you could help with that Investigative Committee - 4 that was returned to you.

As for the choices, Option 1's success is great as it gets us out of here NOW, but it's fail is a very very bad risk.

The die roll on the other hand probably doesn't make a lot of difference. If it fails the only issue is one more civvie on the board but I still think we'll jump before they're endangered.

It's big gain/big loss on 1 or minimal change on 2.

I know what my cards do; that card doesn't help us pass the check, and that's what I meant by "help".

Fair enough. I consider making it hard for Cylons to screw the check very helpful, but I get what you mean.

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

BSG

OK, let's go for the skill check.

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

Skill check it is. I have COs from Mr Zarek: play an Investigative Committee-4. This is the only available interrupt, as Blue already counts positive; we can move straight into the check. Mr Zarek starts that, and I have more COs:

Destiny: Y1, P2
Zarek: no cards
Helo: no cards
Starbuck:
Tigh:
Apollo:
Chief:

Current Tally: 2 - 1 = 1. Starbuck, you're up. You can post your choice of play directly in this thread, as all cards are played face up.
