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

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
We shall call it "gloaster".
No gloating, it was just a 50/50 call whether moving those ships was going to work. Excited it paid off.

Well, at least we know one of the people who heard all along the watch tower.
Sorry space ghosts. I can't reign him in, and I can't airlock him. I think the only way to get him to stuff a sock in it, is for the humans to win. GooooooOOOOO HuMANS! :: pom pom shake ::

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

frak frak frak! Why didn't I listen to my instincts instead of going with the crowd?
I can help a little with the check; I pass on interrupts.

Yeah, that's right. We Cylons get all the best music. [link]

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.

This truly sucks. Who knew Tigh's stash counted against our Food supplies?
It's a tossup what's on ship D, but since Boomer felt it necessary to move B again after previoiusly taking a look at it, chances are real good losing it is going to hurt.
I've got an IC I can throw into the mix, and I can help with the check, but the question is, do we want to take a shot at passing this, or do we want to take a -2 to morale and save our cards for the next crisis?
My turn is coming up and my hand max is 8, so I need to spend cards either this round or next to avoid discarding.

At least that's one flushed out.
I believe it's Chief's turn next, so provided he's not the other toaster (and I've seen no evidence that he is), he can get FTL repaired stat.
I can only help a very little with the check. However, there's a lot of yellow and green in this group as a whole so we should be able to make this with little problem.
If someone has an IC to spare, that would be good. Not if it would be better used in the check (if someone DOES spike it, it narrows down who it might be and might actually be more revelatory than an IC, but I'm not sure if that's worth the risk to morale loss). ETA: Kalshane, saving cards for future crises isn't a horrible idea but I'd rather not take such a big hit to morale.

Let me get this straight, we can't do anything to save those ships, right? So, we will lose up to 4 population, 3 population and 1 morale/fuel, or 2 population and 1 morale and 1 fuel. But no more food, right?
So, we are just deciding whether to keep cards and intentially fail the check, losing two morale, or whether to try to pass the check. Is this right?
Note: I can call an IC, but I'm not sure whether it is better for me or Chief to do that. If I do, I can only help a little with this check.
I think at this point the humans need to be XOing as much as possible, so I worry about having to spend green on this check.

One of the 2 Population ships has already been destroyed, so the maximum Population they could contain is 3. Aside from that, it's all as you say. In particular, you can't lose Food from the civvies.

Memo to the Prez: Sorry you now feel like you were shouting into the wind, but we really haven't had many clues to go on. Boomer She who shall not be named was certainly not my #1 suspect. Of course, that model has fooled me before.
