Apollo has opted to draw one yellow and one red.

Our wings are not tired

I'm leaving for the gym so will be offline for about 90 minutes.

In the meantime I will draw two crisis cards and resolve one of them.

Apollo has discarded option 2, Terrorist Bomber , and gone with option 1, Fulfiller of Prophecy . This will cost him a skill card, and he is discarding a Yellow 1. It also causes another Crisis card to be drawn! And that is Terrorist Investigations.

Details of all 3 crisis cards to be e-mailed shortly.

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

BSG

Just to check, on Fulfiller of Prophecy, he chose the discard rather than the skill check?

I can help a lot with this check.

However, since this is a pretty high check and Morale is at 5, I wonder if our cards might be better saved for a more dire resource.

I'm fine with a decision either way.

Yes, that is correct. Sorry I wasn't clearer about that.

Ooops, GM mistake. Also on page 20 of the rule book, it says:

Revealed Cylon players are unaffected by abilities on Crisis Cards and skill checks. They cannot be sent to the “Brig” or “Sickbay” locations, and cannot be forced to discard Skill Cards.

Thus, Apollo get's that Y1 back! Lucky him. (sorry for revealing your high value card).

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.

I'm good with tanking this one. We need to save cards for crisises that hit our really critical resources.

I'm also fine with failing this.

In any case, I pass on interrupts.
