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

I'll stay put and play my repair card to get our ship back to 100%. Clearly, something a toaster would do. Not sure about my second action.

Repair-2 played, Armoury repaired. When you're ready, please post your second action. (You may pass on a second action.)

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

BSG

not much I can do. With all these repairs done, I think I'll take a rest.

Pass on 2nd action.

Apollo uses his second action for nappy times. That concludes the XO. Meanwhile, Helo's had a thought. Couldn't you jump faster if you gave the computers... more power? t grunt grunt grunt

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.

BSG

Ouch.

If we pass the check, we'd be only one jump prep from winning the game. (If I'm reading it right. It looks like we get one jump prep from the crisis itself, and a second if we pass it, for a total of two.) But I can only help a little with the check.

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

BSG

Sorry I was out all night. I spiked the check because I believe Apollo is a cylon. I know I'm not one so that means we have at least one running around and he's the only one whose behavior seems suspicious to me (when he said I was acting suspicious but he couldn't back up his accusations). I'm very sorry that you all can't see that but at least we are very close to winning. You'll let me out of the brig when we get there, right?

Illigitimi non carborundum

BSG Helo seems to only ever be able to "help a little," I've noticed.

My thoughts: the pass-the-skill-check option is so very, very tempting, but if that check fails we could well be screwed with the sudden boarding party. It would suck to be so close and yet so far.

Tough decision all around, though.

As usual for a jailbird I can only play the one card.

I can help a lot on this check.

Considering I only draw one out the three colors in the check, it's kind of tough to have an ample supply to contribute. And I brought us to the halfway point on the last check, at least until Boomer spiked the check.

Whether you suspect Apollo is a Cylon or not, Boomer--and I've yet to see him do anything suspicious--you forced the rest of us to spend additional cards into the check to keep him out of the brig, cards which could potentially be helping with this current check.

I hate the idea of dropping the jump meter when we're this close to Kobol. We'll go for Option 1. Hopefully the Cylons won't frak us too badly.

I'm sorry you feel I forced you to spend cards. I thought I made my intentions clear when I explained why I left that card on top.
