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.

I can help a little with the check, but I can't help but wonder if we want to tank it. Population is our highest resource and the loss of jump prep isn't going to hurt us at the moment.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

BSG

I can't help at all, so I don't know that I have an opinion on to tank or not...

I can help quite a bit with this check. Does anyone have an IC they can play on this? I'd love to try to ferret out the other toaster if possible.

Also, it looks like you don't have to worry about me having seen my card draw for my turn, I don't seem to have received that email.

I can play an IC if we're going for it.

Eta: no, my records were wrong. I can't.

We do have a lot of food, so throwing this one is an option. I think the only good reason to do this check is with an IC to try to expose the toaster, but it might be best to conserve cards.

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

Yep, I hadn't actually sent it yet, it was still in draft. It's all good.

There's talk of tanking this check. If you are happy to go along with tanking it, post TANK. If all the humans vote to tank it, I'll just reveal Destiny and resolve it.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

BSG

I can help a little with this check but it would mean not being able to help spring Dee from the pokey at all. I vote to TANK.

TANK

since I don't really have any choice, but I don't want to influence anyone else.

Okay, I'm going to go with the idea to TANK the check. We'll have to track down our toaster on another skill check.

That really just leaves Ellen, and since she doesn't draw anything positive for this check anyway, I'll call it. Destiny reveals:

Launch Scout 1
Evasive Maneouvre 2

Tally: 1 - 2 = -1. Fail. You lose 1 Population.

Administrative note: This check exhausted the Destiny deck. I have rebuilt a new deck. In the process, the Politics deck was exhausted. I have reshuffled the discards.

That concludes Starbuck's turn. I'm sending Dee's cards now. Dee, I'll get you to reconfirm your orders for your turn.
