In dealing cards to Helo, the Leadership (Green) deck was depleted and reshuffled.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
BSG
Hope you are fully recovered, sir, you're like a father to me, you know.
As long as I'm not like the father you never had, Helo. The fleet frowns upon the parentless, you know.
The Admiralissimo is free! (With every box of Weeties.) I shall:
Move (back) to the Press Room (discard an XO-1)
Play an LS-2 on the Destination Deck
We'll be jumping soon - in fact, I would suggest we jump as soon as we've found a good choice. Helo, if you could stand ready with your reroll I'd be much obliged.

The roll is a 3. The Admiralissimo squeaks by and Helo's manly arms are not needed.

Leave it on top. Not everything we want, but certainly good enough.

And it's time for your crisis! It involves fuel... Let's see how Helo handles Send Survey Team (15 PRB), shall we?

Argh. With my re-roll and an SP we'd have good odds on that die roll, but it's still a gamble.

The thoughts of your illustrious leader. (No, I mean me. Who did you think I meant, President Meerkat? ...Yes, his fine work on the Lambada Cylon Detector has earned him a promotion. I still mean me.)
1. With an SP and Helo's reroll, we would have a 14% chance of losing Fuel. Those are pretty good odds. I'm willing to try for it (if someone has an SP, as I can't help there).
2. The fail effect from the skill check is better than the fail effect from the die roll. I'm also fine with taking the skill check and deliberately failing.
3. I'm less keen on taking the skill check and trying to pass it. This is as expensive as Bomb on Colonial One, for less payoff. (And I could only help a little.)
4. Jumps yay!
Ok Helo, this is pretty much all on you. Let's see what you're made of.

Well, I'll wait to see if the other humans have opinions, but I'm leaning towards the skill check. 14% chance of losing fuel seems like still too much risk when it'll cost mere injury to myself and a raptor that I saved for no apparent reason a little while ago to definitely not lose fuel. My last trip to sickbay was pretty okay...

Apparently Helo is made of Slacktopium, the slackest material known to man. While you're kicking back in Sickbay again I'll have Doc Cottle check if you have algae growing in your pelt. That's an order, Doctor! Check his pelt! Check it!

Some would say I am made of Caution and Self-sacrifice for the Greater Good. I am pretty sure. If you asked the right people. Getting hit with raptor shrapnel isn't exactly a day at the beach, you know.
