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.

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

BSG

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.

So, are folks willing to help me escape from the brig?

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.

BSG

Here's my thoughts at this point: Dee or Ellen is the remaining Cylon. Not because of anything they've done, but because both the Admiral and the President have had numerous chances to screw us over and haven't done so. (Or if they have, they've done it very subtly.)

Nothing against Dee (and I know being brigged for no good reason sucks) but I'm not sure I want to spend cards freeing someone who could be a Cylon.

That said, I can only help a little with the check anyway.

Here's a thought. You could XO me, Dee, and I'll hit up the Quorum. It may get you out, it may not, but even if we all try to spring you, you still might not get out of the brig. Hopefully it would get us something useful. And we can try to use an XO to get you out later, if necessary, depending on what else is going on what with the looming Agatron on the horizon.

It's an option.

I could also use my OPG to draw three purple and okay then into the check. Hopefully that would be enough to get me out.

That would be an interesting choice.
