for my first action I will play a Y1 Consolidate Power and draw two Purple cards.
And for my next magical trick, "Hey everybody! Look over there! What prison transport? I don't recall there being a prison transport in the sector of space I just directed your attention away from."
I'm using my OPG Unconventional Tactics to reduce population and increase food by 1.
"Hey everybody! Barbeque!"
Soylent Green is Zarek's grandmother's home-cooked recipe!
"You never know what's coming, the stake is not the power, to serve man is a cookbook, I love you! Go away!"

Wow, that was great. Mmmm, smells like BBQ chicken. The Other-Other white meat! Hope there was a lot of good sauce.
Mr. President, your new card draw is in your INBOX.
Now, that ends the action phase of this round. Onto the Crisis Phase! The final crisis card before the first full effect double whammy of the Cylons. Let's see what the Gods have in store for you.

Which is worse, spending more cards, or sending Tigh back to sickbay?

Don't forget, if you fail this check, you may never find out who the Cylons are.
riiiight.
If we decide to do this check I can help a little.
BSG
Here are the options as I see them:
1) Intentionally fail the check, playing 0 cards. The downside is that maybe Tigh might not draw cards on his next turn. Note: We would have two turns to potentially XO Tigh.
2) Someone play an IC, learn what destiny holds, and see if the toasters decide to do anything about it. Note: Except for ICs, yellow won't help on a Super Crisis Card. I'd say this is Chief's call.
3) Try to pass this check without an IC. Note: IMO, this would be insane troll logic. We need cards for what's about to hit.
BSG
I pass on interrupts (I don't have an IC).

First the Admiral's Quarters (twice), then FTL Control, and now the Research Lab. Are we sure the Cylons are trying to blow us up, or is Salty just Spontaneously Combusting?
Honestly, with Apollo's Super Crisis looming, I think our best bet is to intentionally tank this check, and try to XO Tigh out of Sickbay before his turn.
I can help with the check, but I'd much rather use the cards on something where we have actual resources at risk.
ETA: Pass on interrupts.
