I can't help at all with this check, but I think we have to go for it if we remotely think we can pass. As much as losing the fuel and the raptor would suck, I think we can still afford to lose fuel more than food at this point.
Also, Boomer just drew red on her turn, so hopefully the damage she can cause is limited.
I do have an IC to contribute if necessary. That said, I don't want to use it unless Zarek has cards to contribute (the IC gives more help to the side that goes last in a check, in my opinion.)
BSG
I can help with this check, but not as much as you might think. My recent card draw was not generous.
Apollo and Boomer I think both have some Yellow they can turn against us. But I'm not sure how much.
I agree with Kalshane we should try to pass this if possible.
Apollo and Boomer I think both have some Yellow they can turn against us. But I'm not sure how much.
Yes, both of them have multiple yellow cards. I also suspect Boomer has a high blue tucked away. Maybe this will at least draw their high cards out.
I agree that we have to try to pass and also that an IC doesn't make sense right now. If destiny is kind and people throw in what they can, this could work.
BSG
I can only help a little. If Destiny is on our side we might pass.
edit: Oh now I get it, it's better to potentially lose fuel than for sure lose food.
We will go for the skill check.

Pass on interrupts
(well, duh)
Interesting. The positive colours are the same colours you need to fight off a Cylon attack.
BSG
Yes, I pass on interrupts too.
BSG
Should I play my IC or not? Zarek gets last play on this check, so he will know whether or not he can top the Cylons. Also knowing what Destiny is throwing at us may be helpful.
BSG
I was going to say no, but I suppose it would be nice to know if we don't have a chance in hell.
ETA: Note to our GM, if we are doing an open check, I retract my standing COs until we know what Destiny has in store.
