Your (lack of) move has been noted. Your activation of the Press Room has resulted in more feedback, and not the positive kind, the squeeley annoying kind. Ugg. Another round of this idiot on the mic. Your new cards have been e-mailed to you.
I guess this means I get to pick the Crisis Card now. Wow, that was fast.
eta:
Might as well make this one big post.
Your crisis card is:
Colonial Day
It's a players choice. Details to follow in an e-mail blast to the group.

That's not feedback, my voice always sounds like that. And I'll thank you to show a little sympathy, it's not so easy sounding like a cheerleader from the Valley when your nickname's Boomer.

Chance to raise Morale, nice. I'm inclined to go for the skill check (and play an IC, because raising Morale is just that good). Anyone think we can't manage it?
BSG
I can help with the check.

"Boomer, what the hell did you say to that Biers woman! I hope you can sweet talk those journalists you've gotten to know back into making Colonial Day a success, not fuel for the scandal sheets."
I can't help with the check.
However, we know Boomer now has a posse of yellow (and probably purple) cards in her hand and needs to discard anyway, so provided she really is on our side *big smile* I am sure she'll be able to contribute mightily on the check.
And I think other people have yellow and purple to help round out possibilities. 10 is not too hard to beat.
BTW: Today is about to explode into a mess of insanity. I am probably not going to be able to post again till tomorrow, so carry on. I've got no further COs since I can't help with the check.

I am indeed in a position to help make Colonial Day a success. I know! We could make it fancy dress! Oh, but there probably aren't that many fancy dresses left in the fleet. Maybe we could have a scavenger hunt! Teams could get points for finding different objects, like some Chamalla, or a Cylon, or Admiral Tigh's wife! For entertainment, do you think we can book the Aerelon Bluegrass Jug Band? Did they survive the attack? Last year they had mimes, they creeped me out. I think they were Cylons, they all looked the same to me anyway.
The check itself isn't difficult, but I think there's a pretty good chance that Destiny will wind up doubly negative (about 40%). Unless it's two bad 5s or something, though, I reckon we can do this. Ok.
I choose the skill check.
I convene an Investigative Committee-3.
Pass on further interrupts.
That just leaves an SR as a possible interrupt (which probably isn't worth it here). I think Chief Tyrol's the only other person who's drawn Blue, so once he plays or passes on an SR, we can start the check.
BSG
Colonial Day is a fine idea. I will round up all the jugglers I can find among the civilian ships.
iow I can help a little.
COs insent.
I'm off. No library tomorrow although I might be at my folks' house. Otherwise I'll be back around noon on Saturday.
BSG
Checking in from work here, so without cheat sheet in front of me. I will do the open face playing when I get home, and can cross things off that are played, but want to try and keep things rolling if we can. Plus, we are waiting to see if Chief wants to/can play the blue interrupt.

Boomer:
If you are waiting to see what is previously played before making your choice, your CO's can outline that. "If I see a total of +4 by my turn I play the orange 7 card. If it's between +1 to +3, I play the Orange 7 AND orange 3. If by my turn it's below +1, or anyone spikes the deck , play all my Orange cards and pray the Gods of Kobol will help us"
