GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

See? Tense.

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

Mr Zarek is next.

It's the day of reckoning. I have orders from everyone. Will Apollo keep his freedom, and the Admiralty? With only 2 Fuel left, leaving the choice of destination in the wrong hands will be almost surely fatal. Here are everyone's card plays:
Destiny:
2 cards
Tigh:
1 card
Apollo:
2 cards
Chief:
1 card
Zarek:
1 card
Helo:
1 card
Starbuck:
3 cards
And these are the cards they contributed:
Green 2
Green 2
Green 2
Green 4
Purple 1
Purple 3
Yellow 1
Yellow 2
Yellow 2
Red 3
Blue 2
Tally: 14 - 10 = 4. Ordinarily, this would see the check fail by 3. But thanks to Tigh's Cylon Hatred, this check's difficulty has been reduced by exactly 3. Check passes in a squeaker! Apollo, you've barely had time to fondle your warhead before you join Zarek, Helo and Tigh in custody.
Looks like we need a new Admiral. Let's see who's next in the order of succession. Adama - missing. Tigh - already in the Brig. Helo - ditto. Apollo - heh. Starbuck - she's still on the loose? Frak me, we're all doomed.
Starbuck has promoted herself to Admiral by the expedient of locking herself in the Admiral's Quarters and barricading the door. (Wait, Tyrol's still in there with her? That's gotta be awkward.) Congratulations Starbuck, have a nuclear warhead and the keys to the old man's ride.
Anyway, since Starbuck's still out and about, it must be time for a Crisis. Let's see... Oh, yes, this is a good one. Looks like your comms are on the fritz:
Jammed Assault
Cylon Attack
Oops.

Tigh, Helo, I can bury this card, but there are much worse cylon attacks possible.
And I can only do it once a game.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Worse than we already had? Can we scout the next crisis card before we bury this one?

No, Starbuck's power is to discard a Crisis Card as it's played, not after we've done some stuff and decide we don't like it.
Sean, I say bury it. Looking at the possibilities, this is one of the worst that could happen right now, especially with no vipers and only 1 human out of the brig.
This attack will very likely finish us off so I think your once a game power is totally worth it right now. If we get another attack, well at least we tried.

If that's the case, I concur.

I shall use my once a game ability to discard this card, and leave our fate in the hands of the gods.
