Crippled Raider

Sir? What is your choice? Go for it or roll?

Well, I think we should roll, but I've done enough so far without input. I'd like to confirm that with the others. Are you going to send out the details?

Thoughts:
Obviously, this was a killer crisis to get now, when we’re so low on cards. I could help a little on this check, but we can’t afford to fail it. As much as it kills me to miss the extra jump track opportunity, I think we should choose the roll (given what’s been played, I think it is likely that destiny would be against us, and we know the toasters have plenty that would be negative here).

On the plus side, we have my re-roll option since I didn’t have to use it on the scouting mission. Of course, if anyone has an SP, that would help even more.

Also, with me in the air, and Tigh up next, with the ability to add vipers to the mix or XO me to go after those possible raiders (and scout again), or something else I haven’t thought of, I think we can handle it even if raiders get added to the board.

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

BSG

I'm calling you out, Helo. This crippled raider is our challenge to you, if you're man enough. You're already in the air; ready to go toe to crippled raider-appendage? If you win, that's it, we'll leave you alone. Hell, I'll give you the coordinates to Kobol myself, Tigh can jump you right away. You lose, we keep... Oh, let's say Piscon. I've heard things about those guys.

So what'll it be... Karl? Are you manning up?

Colonials... Come out and pla-a-a-ay...

Hee. So, just to be clear, in your mind you guys are all dogs, and we are your masters. ...I can work with that.

Boomer does bring up an interesting point. If you go for it, and pass, with the double jump icon, it puts you in -1 population, and available to FTL jump with the next players turn.

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

I can help a little on the check but I am worried about risking population.
