I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's... depressing.

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

Sorry I've been packing all day.

As president I lack the resources to launch an investigative committee at this time. Let's press this whiny fleet into service and mine some water.

(iow, I can only help a little with the skill check; I vote for the discard option)

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

BSG

Ok, only Tigh and myself can offer much help in the check. It sounds like discards will probably be cheaper.
I choose option 2.

Do we discard openly?

You can scout again at the end of your turn, right BoomerT?

Yes, but the discards are random. Omnis will post which cards we all lost.

That is correct, I'll get some Recon shortly.

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

Y'all have selected to let the Gods pick your pockets. Well, Boomer has made the choice for you. Here is what was plucked from your hands:

Boomer *RED 2**

Zarek Green 2

Helo Green 1

Admiral Green 2

Chief Blue 1

Apollo Red 1

Wow, the Gods must think "Oh, they live in space, let's not tease them with greenery. Let's strip them of green so they don't think about fresh vegetables, a day in the park, or mowing the lawn."

That ends Boomer's turn. Being the sneaky type, she's peeking at the next crisis card. An e-mail has been sent to Boomer, let's see if she keeps it or buries it.

ETA: Sorry folks, Made an error tracking that BT caught. His card is updated above.

Wow, a total cost of just 8 (edit: 9). We got off very lightly.

I have completed my Recon mission, and I choose to leave the card on top.

Oh Boomer I'm so sorry, I can't give you the xo you were promised.

edit, oh wait- I draw cards at the beginning of my turn? Sorry I'm so rusty.

It's cool; you're about to draw two more Green, the odds are pretty good you'll draw another one anyway. If not, then you can just activate your office or something and hopefully I can swing an XO down the track.
