Does anybody have Strategic Planning? If so, I would wait and apply (if needed) it to the re-roll.

If it's possible, can we let Helo try, and then use the SP on the re-roll if he (she) decides to reroll?

I've been looking this up and it's not really spelled out in the rulebook. The forum at boardgamegeek seemed split on the issue.

I'm pretty sure we've done this before.

I don't think we've done it before in this game. If it had come up in a game I was running, the answer would've been no. I think it's pretty clear, the second roll is a reroll of the first and hence under the same conditions as the first. It thus gets all the modifiers of the first roll. (Put another way, if it gets its own modifiers, it shouldn't benefit from modifiers on the first roll.)
However, omnis is right that it is apparently contentious. With no official word, it's the GM's call.

Wow. That's a lot toasters.
As I am XOed, I will take the following 2 actions:
Action 1: Activate FTL Control to jump us the frak away from the toaster party.
Action 2: Play a Y2 Consolidate Power to draw 2 Yellow cards.

I recall having the re-roll/SP debate when I played Helo. I could be wrong, but it rings a bell. I also recall the answer is NO! And for continuity sake, we will maintain that call.
So? We have a roll on call. Does anyone wish to play a P3-5 SP to help that roll? It would turn the roll into a 50% rather than the 75% it normally is.
