I'm the only player who draws blue but Adama might have some from when he picked up the discard pile. ND?

Can't help on this one. Sorry.
BSG
Ow.
No blue cards here. And we're going to need Weapons Control to take out at least one of the basestars (assuming Adama nukes the other one.)
Also, ow.
Why do the Cylons always seem to hit Weapons Control?
frak, I was itching to fly. Ah well, perhaps someone can xo me.
I move to weapons control and play my blue 2 to make repairs.
BSG
Weapons Control is repaired. Time for Boomer's Crisis Card. I wonder where she got the parts to repair Galactica's weapons?
Detector Sabotage
Skill Check (8 GP)
Possible interrupts are Investigative Committee and Scientific Research. Everyone, please pass or play.
BSG
I can help with this check. The thing is, in other games I haven't felt like looking at other players' loyalty cards made much difference. There's no way to know whether the player who had a look is telling the truth about what they saw. Maybe we should deliberately fail this check and save our cards.
BSG
NEGATIVE. Looking at others loyalty cards is key. I can help a fair amount.
In what way have you found looking at loyalty cards to be helpful, omnis? I know I've only played two games so far but both times we figured out who the cylons were from skill checks.
BSG
I can see Laga's point, but the fact is (unless someone has been doing a real good job of hiding it) we seem to have 5 humans right now. Which means two of them are going to go toaster at some point and we won't be able to use their prior behavior as an indicator. Being able to see Loyalty cards may end up crucial once we hit the Sleeper phase.
That said, I don't think the world is going to end if we fail this one.
I can help a little with the check, but those cards may be better spent on other things, especially since I'm currently in Sickbay and won't be getting my full draw short of an XO prior to my turn.
Y'all know my preference but if we decide to go for the check I will help us pass.
Edit: I just realized my good purple card is Strategic Planning and I don't want to give that up with all these cylons in our sky. I will still help a little.
