ooh!.. with Support the People I could potentially help a lot. Check's already Reckless anyway.
It's not quite that simple. Only one Reckless check may be played on any skill check; therefore, either AAC or StP may be played, but not both. Madam President, as current player it's your choice. Would you rather Helo's AAC or Ellen's StP?

You can XO me to harvest rare Caprican plants. Hey, wait, isn't the Arrow of Apollo down here? Don't we need that? I'll go grab it. Is that legal, billytea? TELL ME THAT'S LEGAL.
Well, it's legal, but I can't guarantee how Apollo will react to you grabbing his arrow.

If Roslin does choose Ellen's Support the People, everyone except Ellen and Helo will be eligible to draw two cards. They have to come from your skill set, but you're not limited to the numbers you normally draw. If you're eligible, send me COs for what colour(s) you would like.
BSG
Oh, sorry for the delay, that's a decision I didn't anticipate. I was busy reminding myself that we wouldn't see Destiny and trying to figure out how to account for that.
I tend to think that Supporting the People will be more apt to save Morale than At Any Cost, so let's continue with Ellen's interrupt.
And I'll take 1Y and 1G.

Roslin has chosen Support the People! (Quick formatting note: I'll ask all players, when you post orders, if you could put them in bold - to distinguish discussing what your orders might be.) I have COs from Gaeta for his draw. That leaves Dee and Starbuck. Remember - the two cards must be in your colours, but there are no other limits (so, for instance, either of you could choose 2 Blue).

NOT BSG, but game-related.
I play Echo Bazaar (Fallen London, which has a Fay connection) online, because I like the atmosphere.
They've been having problems recently. This is the blog post apology, and part of the reason why I love the game is this writing style and attitude from the developers:
"God, it was slow last night, wasn't it?[1] And we've had some outages. You've noticed. What's going on?
We've moved to a new hosting service. That's the thing about server moves: you know they're going to cause more pain and swelling than you expect, but even so you don't expect *that* much pain and swelling. Like Hofstadter's Law but with more blood and error messages. At the same time, we're seeing higher than usual player growth (which is part of the reason we moved), and we're having to work hard to keep ahead of it.
Anyway, you'll have noticed it's much quicker today than yesterday. This should be a trend, and the longer outages should be behind us. Should. We're getting there: just a little further. Sorry about that. All shall be well.
[1] UK night. US daytime. Which is pretty much the problem. :-)"
Oops. Sorry about that. I will try very hard to remember to bold things, but probably will forget some of the time. I'll keep apologizing, though.

I draw 2G

Everything's coming up green! I don't think these unsettling stories stand a chance.

Don't be too sure, I checked one of the stories. They took Goldilocks and replaced the three bears with furries.
