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

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

Per the secrecy rules, you can't disclose any specific information about the card. That largely leaves you with broad value statements, e.g. you can tell us that you think it's a good destination. (Of course, the fact you left it on top pretty much says that anyway.)

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

The destination fits my criteria for staying on top but I'm a little worried.

Despite being somewhat blind about identifying potential cylons, I can help a lot with this check.

I play a Y3 IC interrupt.

I can help a little with this check.

Does a Scientific Research have to be declared before a check, or can one wait and see what the Destiny cards are first?

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

I believe it has to be declared before the check begins.

Play before cards are added to a skill check. All engineering cards in the skill check count as positive strength.

eta: If I may offer advice as the GM. Since the CAG played the IC, y'all will be able to see what Destiny tosses in the check from the get go. And if a spike happens, you can see it, and adjust. Unless the current player spikes it. As that would put him in the brig, I don't think that would be wise.

As the other player who normally draws Blue, I couldn't make much use of an SR for this check.

Okay. Not worth it, then. (Now watch, Destiny will throw 2 blue cards at us.) Pass on interupts.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I would like you all to know that I had a dream about this game last night, and Helo turned out to be the Cylon and blew up everyone.

Make of that what you will.
