Would we lose one Morale immediately upon failing the check and another if Ellen is executed and human?
That is correct. Morale is currently at 7.
Whoa. Good myth.

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

Aww, look at you - cranky because I DOUBLED the distance we traveled. Also, bitchy because you didn't think of killing first.

Well, no matter what we decide, I can help a lot with this check.

Saving morale is good. I can help a little.

I have to assume that was your rationale, but, by the Lords of Kobol, how are we supposed to make it the rest of the way on 2 Fuel? This is why I should have remained Admiral. I have the tactics and strategy. Also, I can do math. You couldn't have doubled the distance we traveled. We traveled 3. There's no 1.5 Distance card. You're either overexaggerating or underexaggerating. That's just like you.
Well, no matter what we decide, I can help a lot with this check.
I can too, though, if we decide to save Ellen's sorry behind.

Um, we were at 3 and now we're at 6? That's double.

Oh! I thought she meant she picked a Destination card that was twice the Distance of the other one. My mistake.

Wow. As much as I hate to lose the Morale, I'm all for letting Ellen get sucked out an airlock. We're crippled. Our next jump needs to take us at least 2 distance for one fuel or we lose unless we happen to get lucky enough to find something to increase fuel.
We're also really close to jumping again. We NEED to scout the destination deck before we jump and bury anything that doesn't give us 2 distance for 1 fuel. I can Scout if someone XOs me. Though if Admiral Helo is a toaster, we're frakked anyway.
I'm really regretting saying we'd be okay with losing fuel on the Rescue Mission crisis. Yeesh.

I guess it depends on whether we want to take the Morale hit and chance the die roll. Because it's not guaranteed that we'd airlock Ellen, and we can't use SP to REDUCE the number. Doesn't look like anyone has Calculations, either, or we wouldn't have lost Ralph on the jump. If Ellen is a human with shitty decision-making skills, we lose more Morale. If Ellen is a skinjob, she gets the ability to scout the Destination deck for free on her next turn.
I think we need to remember that tanking the check isn't an automatic airlock for Ellen. It's 50-50, though, and those aren't bad odds.

That's true. I forgot about the die roll. Still, I'm pretty convinced Ellen is a toaster after this. She frakked us hard. (Which I suppose shouldn't be surprising, considering.) And I think loss of Morale is the least of our worries at the moment. Getting to 8 distance without running out of fuel is.
I vote we tank the check and hope the die roll goes in our favor. Chances are good we're going to jump again before her next turn since the jump track is at 2 from the Destination.
If Ellen is a Cylon, that leaves only Admiral Helo or President Roslin as the other one. Which means, despite me not having a good feeling either way on which one it is, I think Gaeta should use his OPG to take the Admiralty on his turn.
Sorry, Helo. At this point we can't be sure about you.
Of course, I could be completely wrong, Ellen made a horrible mistake and Gaeta's actually the other Cylon, but I think we're frakked in that case regardless.
