    since this is an incredibly important turn, I just wanna triple check with our GOD EMPEROR. You want me to give you an executive order, right?

    Excellent

    Activate Pesident's Office and regardless of draw play Authorization of Brutal Force on the Centurion with Tac 3 - SP to prevent pop loss

    Activate it a second time and I'll wait for the quorum draws before playing

    Another good pair of quorum cards.

    Make Helo my Vice President (and draw 2 pol which is the real reason to play it)

    Military line of succession for the presidency!

    With the centurions far, far to close to the environmental controls, the God Emperor makes a difficult choice. He orders the marines to herd the centurions to the hanger deck and set up a crossfire. With some clever planning, most of the crew is able to get out of the path of destruction.

    Except Cally.

    That is the best possible activation we could draw right now. Both because we just escaped losing and the horde of raiders doesn't get to move

    So, next turn Helo goes and activates Pegasus' engine room and then Dee jumps us for the win?

    Also, only the one Heavy Raider moves, we don't get two more from the Basestars. Hooray!

    I'll be happy to head over to Pegasus and fire up the engine room, Your Excess Of Titlesness.

    Anyway, is there any real reason to try for this check? One of the big reasons I took the last one was the random discard coupled everyone having a tre and a cylon playing

    Sabotage - Play when a human player discards a Treachery Skill Card. Damage Galactica once. Only 1 "Sabotage" card may be used per turn. [4 x Strength 3]

    could screw us if it hits the right damage token. But it's a chosen discard so as long as the Chief keeps his tre card (or plays it into the check) we should be fine

    As long as the Chief doesn't mind the loss of resources there's no reason for most of the fleet to worry about this.

    Well, if we're tanking it everyone might as well throw your tre card in, it's the only safe way to get rid of them

    Total: -9 Fail! -1 Morale and Chief must discard two cards

    With no one to help him with his grief, the Cheif loses his cool and has to be dragged off the hanger floor. His work and the work of his knuckle draggers suffers for it.
