What do people think?

I can help somewhat with the check. Since our recent checks have been closed it's hard to know, but I suspect destiny will not be kind to us.

ETA: If someone has to go to sickbay, I think it should be me. I don't think we need two of us on Colonial One at this point anyway.

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

Sure you do. If you unbalance it like that, it could tip over! It'll be like the Poseidon Adventure... IN SPACE!!

And who am I in that scenario? Shelley Winters?

Yes, you're Shelley Winters with massive biceps. Tigh is Gene Hackman. Specifically, Gene Hackman as Lex Luthor.

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

I can help with the check but if Helo's looking to get back to Galactica anyway...

I can always make an inspirational speech in attempt to raise morale but we all know how good I am at food rationing.

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.

BSG

I can help with the check, but I think with morale being our highest resource and Helo wanting to get over to Galactica anyway, it might worth it just to conserve cards and tank this one.

Of course, this all depends on Admiral Salty being able to XO me out of Sickbay on his turn and me getting dealt an XO to use on Helo on my turn.

I would say if there enough people to help (I am not one of them sadly), I would say aim for the 6 difficulty to avoid sending yet another person to Sickbay, but worry less about the morale.

(Clearly, with the sickbay and the food shortages, the Cylons' most successful plan was getting E. Coli into the food supply.)

Funny, I was originally going to suggest that Tigh was actually one of Ellen's rubber playmates come to life (hence he gets knocked down, but he gets up again), but decided not to be tacky. Silly me.

I am not so worried about going to sickbay. I had been thinking of moving to Galactica on this turn anyway. Hopefully, either Chief or Zarek can XO me by the time my turn comes around again.

I pass on interrupts.

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

BSG

OK, that closes the Interrupts. So, this is a closed check people. I haven't quite asertained if there is a consensus on team human tanking this check, so please send CO's.
