Curious. It says 10, but the card pile shows 9. But slot number one in the spreadsheet in his column is empty. Hmm, spreadsheet isn't perfect.
Helo has 5 cards, but spread sheet says 6. Same thing.
Gorrum it!
eta same with Apollo.
Something isn't right in the state of denmark. WTF spreadsheet! Can't you automate anything right?
:: weeps ::
Ah! Fixed! Apparently when I wrote in some notes about passes, it screwed with some formulas. But thankfully it seems to be working ok now.

So we spent 7 cards (counting the IC) to save 4? If I ran the decks with that level of efficiency, our pilots would be down to taking running leaps out the launch tubes and flapping their arms.
Well, not exactly. When people began, there was no knowing where we would end up. So, once the first couple were spent, it was six of one, half-dozen of the other. Given what I played, I felt they were likely worth "less" than what the President had.
I would add that it would have been helpful if everyone had spoken up to say whether they could help or not.

Well, if you say it like that, of course it's going to sound bad.
Seriously, I did raise the option of tanking this one after we saw how bad Destiny was; but Helo's not wrong. If we'd succeeded we'd have saved the Morale too, so the way it looked at the start, there was something else to try for. In hindsight it didn't work out, but I believe going for it was an honest call.

Guys, any other thoughts on what I do?
ETA: Also, isn't Kalshane Apollo this time around?
BSG
Ooh! I know this one! Umm... XO somebody! Helo or Zarek could maybe do good things with one.
ETA: Also, isn't Kalshane Apollo this time around?
No, Kalshane's playing Chief Tyrol (swoon). ND's taken Apollo this time.
Since I'm already in the Press Room, I could draw 4 yellow with an XO, right?
