I have some CO's in hand.

8 YG

Tigh: pass
Chief: G2
Apollo: Y2
Boomer: pass
Zarek: G1,G2(running total 2 of 8!)
Helo:

That leaves Helo.

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

BSG

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.

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.

Edit: Mod-ninja'd!

Yes, CO's have a pass on DE's from everyone.

FYI - While dealing cards to Tigh, I had to reshuffle the Leadership deck.

OMNIS: As of end of last turn, I had two cards--indeed, as your email to me verified. Of course NOW I have more as it's my turn. (Also: does Boomer still have 10 cards? I thought you lost your hand when you went to the brig, but maybe I'm misremembering. I also thought that's why she was unable to help in the last skill check, because otherwise, she'd have those yellows she'd been drawing in the press room.)

Well, I'm actually kind of at a loss this time around. My thoughts are maybe ordering the CAG to pre-emptively launch some vipers so we don't get caught with our pants down.

I could also draw a Blue card (would have been nice to have that one that turns Blue positive on skill checks last turn), or I could send out a scout. (These are also things that someone could XO me to do on their turn if they would be obliging.)

Also, as I've taken over Boomer's role in the Press Room, anyone can feel free to XO me to draw more yellow. I can return the favor.

Nah. By my count I have 9 cards (you don't lose your hand when you go to the Brig). You'll recall too that, first, I didn't get to use the Press Room much while I was there; and second, I've been generous with ICs and whatnot. I couldn't have changed the result.
