And things just keep getting better for team human. Your current crisis is Network Computers (11 YPB).

Could be interesting if you pull it off. Details to be sent shortly.

So I'm playing "Medal of Honor - Frontline" on my 360. Sure it's an Xbox original game, but plays on the 360. I'm in the Nijmegen Bridge mission. I've done it half dozen times now, and it still keeps giving me bronze medal (you need to kill 95% of enemy and have lots of health to get gold). I end the mission with 100% health, and I've killed 69 enemies! But it keeps undercounting in the final tally. I feel like Florida in the 2004 election. Damn it, I want my gold medal. The mission is all about sniping, but if you kill from too far away, they don't count in the tally (I'm guessing). Grrrr.

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

Ok! This could be our ticket out of here! I choose the skill check. Even failing the skill check would be better than the "OR" option.

Doctor, Chief, if either of you have picked up an Investigative Committee, I'm in favour of you playing it on this check. Destiny could go either way, and this is too important to allow sabotage.

Two other things to note: first, Blue is positive in this check (which is unusual), so our players who draw Blue, could be a good time to play some. Second, my special ability mean that all 1s will count positive in this check, regardless of colour. Even though Red and Green are negative, Red-1 and Green-1 cards are positive here.

If we pass this check, we can jump on Baltar's turn. Let's make it happen.

Wow. I'm getting serious flashbacks of the face space game I just played last weekend. And I just realized the character roster is the same, only we have added Helo.

Hmmm...[eyes the Chief suspiciously].

Hey, bub, what'd I ever do to you? Other than get you out of sickbay, I mean. There's gratitude for ya'. Past performance is not indicative of future returns. That is to say, Chiefs you have known in the past are not this Chief! Heh.

Wow, that Starbuck sure is an amazing pilot.

Yeah, nice shooting. She's the son Adama never had, you know.

Okay, to clarify on this one, we get a normal crisis Jump Prep track advance, plus if we pass the skill check we get an additional Jump Prep advance?

I do not have an IC, more's the pity. But I can help with the check a little.

I can potentially help a lot with this check. But I can't play an interrupt.

So you're saying... there are many copies? Hmm...

Yes, if you pass, you would advance a total of 2 spaces on the Jump Prep track.

Yeah, okay, that's important.
