After Crisis: Activate Raiders
Ok, anyone with recommendation?
Is that really supposed to be that way? Are you sure the Adama's didn't get mixed?
Lee.

Cylon Screenings
9 Politics, Leadership
Current Player Chooses
Pass No Effect
Fail -1 morale and the current player looks at 1 random Loyalty Card belonging to the President or Admiral
OR
Each player discards 2 skill cards
(activate raiders)
Hmm... that makes it more interesting. I'd still be inclined to go with option B, though. We've got a lot of cards; intentionally failing and taking the morale hit just to look at a loyalty card when we're about to hit sleeper phase anyway...
Though we could make sure the Admiral isn't a toaster, and we've got a while before his turn comes back up, so plenty of time to get him into the brig.
Decisions decisions. What say you all?
Does that make sense? I assert we're too late in the first phase to check initial loyalties.
However I think odds are we could probably pass the check with less than 10 cards played in total. I believe I have some to help out with but I'd have to go digging through PMs to be certain how much.

I'm sleepy; I'll post a decision in the morning, after the others have a chance to chime in with recommendations if they so choose.
edit: Sign of sleepiness: I took so long to write that that DA already made my point better.
If we want to go for it, I can help a good deal. If we don't, I stocked up on cards in my last turn so it wouldn't hurt me terribly to discard regardless.

[EDIT] Also, cylon disruptors would screw the crap out of us with this, since we need the fuel and can't afford much in the way of morale loss.
Playing Politics 3 - Investigative Committee
Glad I got that in before anyone made any contributions. I'll wait on my own contributions until I see what the Destiny deck handed us.

With my turn up next, and very possibly another press conference in my near future while things are quiet, burning a couple extra cards is no big deal.
