I can play an IC, but it would severely cut into what I could contribute to the check.
But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

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.

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

Ok. Helo says he can help a lot; everyone else can help a little. Doctor, I think that if Destiny doesn't oppose us, we can pass this, but it won't be cheap. I would not be surprised if Destiny did oppose us. I also believe if we try this without an IC, it'll be spiked.
On the other hand, if we pass this, it's +1 Morale. If we don't even try, we lose yet more Morale.
I don't envy you this decision, Doctor. If you decide to take the shot and possibly put on the best Colonial Day pageant ever, I will back you.

Right but if we don't try, we lose only one morale, whereas if we try and fail, we'll lose two.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
BSG
I'm torn. I would hate to toss the yellow card that helped us win the check on an IC and end up losing the check anyway.

Yep. With us a bit short on cards, it's a tough one. Feel it! Feel the tension! Greed and fear battle for dominance within your heart!
Playing the averages, if we think we have even a 1 in 3 chance of passing this, then taking the skill check gives us better odds. But, obviously, there's a lot of risk that comes with that, it's a big gamble.
I think we've maybe a 2 in 3 chance of passing, if no one spikes it. That, for me, is the big unknown. That and whether increasing to infinite mass as we travel at the speed of light makes my thighs look fat in this uniform. There aren't any mirrors in Command, and everyone acts funny if I try giving the order over the phone.

This isn't to do with the LeaderHips thing again, is it? <looks worried>
I'd say we could go for it, but I'd feel a lot better about it with the IC in play.

Yeah, I agree. Without it, I'm pretty sure this'd be spiked. I'd rather not have the IC in the check and not have it spiked than have both.

It's nice not having to worry about these decisions. And, you know, knowing what's ahead. My foresight is 20-20.

Hmph. Our GM is gloating. It's not nice for omniscient beings to gloat. It's worrisome for us mortals.

I think you're confusing gloating with relaxing (but point taken).
