Everyone passes on interrupts. Tigh fires at the heavy raider.
Die roll: 1. Miss. Tigh, announcing that he "got the one on the left", does a victory shimmy. Helo leaves COs: use his reroll.
Die roll II: 8. Tigh gets the one on the right too! Heavy raider destroyed.
Helo's Crisis card is:

Helo, when you're ready please post your choice.
BSG
bt, it's my choice, but I can confer with the humans, right?
What do you think humans? With our population so low, I'm thinking option 2. As much as I like to horde cards, and not like the random giving up aspect, I really don't want to risk the population.
BSG
bt, it's my choice, but I can confer with the humans, right?
That's correct. Confer away.
BSG
I'm loathe to ask a teammate to make such a sacrifice, but i'd rather not leave it to chance.
BSG
Ooh! Ooh! I can help with the skill check! Go skill check. Choose skill check!
Or maybe you should discard a bunch of cards. I promise I won't try to escape the Brig next turn, so it's not like you will need them. When have I lied to you?
BSG
Yeah, as much as I hate to ask someone human to lose 4 cards, it's the only real option. The die roll is just too much risk.
I am only up at this horrifying time because I have to drive Jilli to a radio interview. Ah, the high life with appropriate levels of sleep dep.
BSG
I'm loathe to suggest it, but - option 2 is best, IMO.
BSG
If I still had the once per turn re-roll ability, I might have gone with the die, but that was used by Drunken Sailor to shoot down the heavy raider.
I choose Option 2. Please tell me what my cards are after the random pick-pocketing to save humanity.
BSG
Admiral Starbuck, (grimace) since you'll be deciding our destination when we jump, I hope you get a Tylium Planet or a Cylon Refinery. If not, we are done.
Damn, I wish there'd been time for another scouting mission.
