I'm all for scouting but I don't see why we need vipers launched if we're not currently under attack.

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

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

It's a precaution for if we do come under attack. Attack cards typically don't launch more than two vipers; there's one at least that doesn't launch any. If we already have some birds in the air, it gives us some extra confidence.

I can help a little.
Everyone knows I have two cards. Note I'm better off putting none in or both, as otherwise I will have to discard my last next turn because Tigh drinks the last card away. (Speaking of which, unless we're in deep trouble, when I can, I'm tempted to go to a card draw area myself and build up a bigger hand so this becomes less of a problem. Maybe research lab for some blues).

That sounds like a good idea to me. Speaking for myself, if Destiny isn't too painful here, I'd be fine with you holding onto your cards and finding yourself an AA meeting building up a little buffer zone. The President's indicated he can help a lot, and I can pull my weight too.

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 and I can only help a little with this check.

Hi folks, sorry for the radio silence. I was looking for some fuel, and er, um, was out of radio contact distance. Yeah, sure. (OK, so it was a dinner party where I made a kick ass lasagna, but while prepping it, the dishwasher blew up. Great timing).
Anyhow, thanks to the scouting mission, BillyTea was able to keep things going. Thanks mate.
With IC played, and SP passed, let's get to the actual Crisis Check. Helo starts the action.

Actually, Destiny starts the action. What do the Gods have in store for us?

Since I'm giddy about my imminent return to Galactica, I'll play a G3 into this check.

While we're waiting (and since I finally get a real turn like the manly man that I am) some questions:
My special character turn ability is rerolling a die. Does this count as an action? I don’t think so, but I want to confirm that if I complete an action during the action step, I can still reroll later.
I don’t normally pilot vipers, but I have piloting in my skill check. If I launch myself into a viper from the Hangar Deck, am I a “worse” pilot than Apollo or Starbuck, or does that just depend on my red cards?
