Battlestar Galactica 21 - Blackjack in Casino Royale

What I have is probably better saved than gambling for the 12+, and you guys with better matching skillsets can probably manage the 6+ without me. 0 cards @jeffreyb

1 card @Lantz

3 cards @CraigM

So what are we drawing if we make it. Leadership for those who don’t draw as much. Also they are the most used card color in skill checks

Yeah, I’d be drawing leadership too. At this point we need all the extra actions we can get to deal space toasters.

On the Medicinal Benefits of Tobacco
A clinical survey of populations under crisis and stress responses to nicotine

By Cottle, Sherman ‘Doc’

Thesis: Tobacco produces numerous compounds under combustion. The medical benefits of such compounds are under studied, and could provide significant benefits as a low cost method of mitigating the chronic health issues pervasive in populations under sustained duress. By identifying the effects of these compounds, and comparing them to a control group, I will demonstrate that usage of tobacco in certain situations of acute stress can prevent those acute symptoms from developing into chronic issues.

Analysis of Results: People treated with aerosolized tobacco compounds have a significant improvement in performance, and suffer shorter recovery periods. Focused treatments of particularly stressed individuals shows an increased access to cognitive abilities when under crisis stress, leading to better outcomes.

Conclusion: usage of tobacco for medical treatment suggested as a regular first choice medical option. In conjunction with targeted stimulants, approved by military guidelines, this provides optimal outcomes. Inclusion now to be standard and immediately implemented. All field manuals recommended to be updated at first opportunity.

Pass Establish network triggers, as will Force Their Hand. @Lantz do you add a card, or draw a mutiny? And do you do so before or after Establish Network?

Also @Jorn_Weines would you put in a selection for the pass condition? You too Lantz, after resolving the other parts first.

See! I was trying to save you humans all sorts of health problems down the road. I recommend you all just airlock Helo, who is clearly at fault for this.

I would like Leadership.

And Piloting for my hand draw.

I have a question in to Craig…

Quick point it is Install Upgrades not Establish Network. Which I was applying the correct power for, since it involves drawing cards.

I would activate IU first, I will add a card once I see what I got.

I will take Leadership for the check.

I loved the story!

Still a precarious situation.

Only so many things we can do:

Get me out of sickbay
Save civvies
Thin out raiders
Get rid of at least one basestar
Kill centurion

In another way not jumping gives us time to cleanup before the 2nd toaster shows up

I plan on doing two of those. What is most important of the Centurion and getting you out of sickbay?

So you will.

Then your cards are added.

I will add Politics 0RT which will do nothing.

I will take Leadership for the success.

I am not sure about his comment, but maybe an XO could do both?

Ok I believe that is it. @Jorn_Weines you are up

Not in the way you think but I have something… Would be better with some modification.

Could wait till my turn for extra effectiveness

Otherwise I could fire at raiders or basestar, save the nuke I suppose.

Can I go into space as well?

Anyway, if you can, xo me out of sickbay please @Jorn_Weines

Helo is an eligible pilot. The only, to my knowledge, pilot that is not specifically a pilot type card (alt Apollo is ineligible for example)

An XO to me during Helo’s turn is better than an XO to me now to setup a proper party for our new guest.
