Administrative note: Apollo's card draw has exhausted the Piloting deck. I've reshuffled the discards.
What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

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

BOYS! KEEP HIM THERE! Yes, I know he's unhappy with Tigh's use of Radioactive (and Whimpery) Boy as a bludgeon. Hold him still.

Apollo plays a Yellow-5 to form an Investigative Committee. I have passes on Scientific Research from everyone. All cards will be played open into this check. Mr Zarek's Friends in Low Places mean this is a 9 YP check. Let's begin.
Destiny:
R1 R2
Chief:
no cards in hand
Zarek:
Helo:
Starbuck:
Tigh:
Apollo:
Running Tally: -3. Oh dear. Apollo, looks like some of the pilots from all those vipers you sent into harm's way are holding a grudge.
Mr Zarek, it's your turn. Since there's an IC, you can post your card play directly in the thread.

Interesting tactic. He'll know how much he has to throw in - though admittedly he's only got two cards that'll do him any good and it doesn't look like he has a Y3 or a Y4 - but we'll know how much we need to throw in.
Not sure who's really got the advantage there.
BT - quick question - is it still possible to state I can help (well, hinder) a little or a lot at this stage to let others know how much each player can bring to the check? I'm last among the humans and that sort of info is useful to those before me.
Edit: Ah, of course, he can only play one card into the skill check so he's getting some use from the others. Still, I think he's made it easier for us. We just have to keep the total at 3 or less to keep him there. So, umm, we don't actually have to play any cards, any of us, because Tyrol doesn't have any and the most that Apollo is packing is a P5. Am I missing something?

If anyone decided to skip the rambling above the important message for Team Human is play no cards. Apollo can only play one card and he can't beat the check.
Your pilots have had their say, Apollo.

You may indeed state that.

Okay, thanks. Moot as it turns out for this check.

My Pradmiral says we humans don't have to play anything, so I'll save my cards.
Helo plays NO cards.
