Apollo plays a Green 2 XO, and passes the helm over to the President.
The President chooses NOT to move anywhere. As a result, Prisoner Zarek gets TWO actions.
Action #1: Play a P2 and scouts the destination deck. Huh. Curious choice. The Prisoner chooses to NOT bury the card, but leave it on top. Interesting. Something about soap or somesuch? I dunno.
Action #2: The, ahem, President, activates his current location, and draws a Quorum card. Then decides to NOT play any Quorum Cards, but to draw another Quorum Card.
That ends the Presidents XO.
Next step, is the Crisis Card for Apollo's turn. Details to follow in e-mails to the players.

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

Pass on interrupts
I will need the opportunity to hit the Press Room again before I can contribute any further ICs.
These aren't my colours, wo I won't be much help. Not to worry, they're good colours for (especially) Zarek, Helo and Tigh. We should be able to pass this.
Having said that, one slightly mischievous observation. While I am certainly not suggesting that we should fail this check, I will note that this check is DC 10, but the Brig check is only DC 7. It would save us 3 points' worth if we were to tank this check and then break Apollo out of the Brig later - 5 less if President Zarek uses his FiLP to reduce the DC.

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
I can help a little with the check.
While I like the idea of getting through this for half price by letting Apollo get brigged (not that I like the actual idea of Apollo getting brigged) wouldn't he be stuck there until his next turn? Which means if we get hit with a Cylon attack, he can't use his Alert Viper Pilot ability to get airborne.

Not necessarily that long - we can XO him to try a breakout before then. (Assuming he gets out on his first action, he gets a free move to anywhere on Galactica and can then use his second action for anything, including activating the location he moved to.)
But you're right, he is stuck until an XO can be arranged, and in the meantime he can't use his AVP. We also run the risk of toaster sabotage on getting him out of the Brig. (We run that risk on this check too, I guess.)
If anyone else has an IC (I wouldn't be surprised if we're out by now), this is a fairly expensive check, it could be worth playing it. (Assuming no one actually thinks we should tank it.)

I have no interrupts.
With my two remaining cards I can help a lot on this check.
If we decide to go that route, I will aks my "friends" to help Apollo get out of the brig but I don't have any XOs.

re: secrecy. Can I talk about the destination card I left on top?
