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

Let the record show that Helo would totally shoot a man in Reno, and then use his reroll.

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 don't see a morale hit hurting us that much yet, but forcing Zarek to discard that many cards is also painful. Unfortunately, this is all I can do.

Play G2

Yeah, unfortunately, I should have thought about my earlier discards more carefully, I've got nothing useful to contribute (and I only have 2 cards left).

I gotta say, as useful as Investigative Committees are, I have to wonder if that Y5 in this particular case would have been a lot more useful contributed to the skill check than played.

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

BSG

considering the probability that there are two cylons running around loose and also how many cards count negative for this check, I doubt we could have passed a closed check. That said, I'm not sure we can pass this one.

Also- sorry about the spoilery email.

That leaves Helo.

Just Helo left to play and we're 6 points short. In case it becomes relevant, note that a Declare Emergency can be used to get us from 6 or 7 up to a full pass, but it can't be used to get a partial pass. If we finish on 3 or 4, we can't use a DE to save the President's hand.

BSG

Well, I would hope that if anyone had had a Declare Emergency they would have played it, but, just in case, I'll put in an extra G1 with my G3. Unfortunately, I can't get us up to 8, but that saves the rest of the President's cards at least.

That, my space ghosts, is a fail. As Helo said, that does save El Presidente a handful of cards. But it does mean morale gets a slap in the face.

No heavy raiders to activate, so that saves you something.

Jump Track kicks it a step. And that ends this round.

That's a fine contribution, Helo.

I of course have never drawn Green, so I pass on DEs.
