BSG I can help a little. And with such a low difficulty hopefully we don't need a huge amount anyway.

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

We haven't jumped once yet, so forgive me if I'm a bit hestiant about intentionally burning resources in the hopes of keeping the sympathizer on our side without completely frakking ourselves.

Fair enough. Note though that we are about to jump; assuming we can clear at least 2 Distance per jump, we're about halfway to the Sleeper Phase already.

I agree with the sentiment though, with Fuel and Food already having taken hits and likely to be flirting with the Red zone, there's no reason to add Morale to the list.

It seems no one feels the need for an IC on this check, so I Pass on interrupts. Let's set up a list for interrupts:

Security Breach - Interrupts
Boomer: Pass
Zarek:
Helo: Pass (no Yellow or Blue)
Tigh: Pass (no Yellow or Blue)
Chief:
Apollo:

Looking forward to my turn, I've been thinking about my action. I don't know my card draw yet of course, but I was thinking of these actions:

1. Scout the Destination Deck. We're about to jump, it's a good time to check our options there.

2. Scout the Crisis Deck. Looking for jump icons, of course.

3. Work the Press room again. (This is really just in case I can't scout. I don't think it's the best choice when I have a good supply of cards.)

Does anyone else have thoughts on what I should do?

Sorry folks, the thing holding us up is Laga, and I didn't get a chance to try and call her. She's still a bit grey with her move, and the library being closed Monday for the holiday. If she doesn't get a chance to pop online on Tuesday, I'll call her when I get home 7pm board time. I'm also waiting on CO's from Kalshane and NoiseDesign. I'm guessing ND is back on ship and swamped.

BSG

Boomer has sent word. She isn't playing anything to this check.

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.

Pass on interrupts.

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

The prez awakes bleary-eyed from partying the night before. What the frak is going on here? Security Breach? I'll handle this.

iow I can help a lot with the check. I say we go for it.

I pass on interrupts.

I go poof. I'll try to be on close to noon board time every day until we get this connectivity thing sorted.

At which point, perhaps I should mention that I am actually available to step in for laga, if necessary, and would happily return the reins at any time. I'm happy to help out, since I wasn't able to join this time. Just throwing that out there.

we have a pinch runner available. Always good to know. Sean, thanks for the offer. I think that is a decision for Liz. Thus far it hasn't been a huge hindrance. Although NoiseDesign might need that offer as well. Not sure how crazy his schedule is right now.
