Wait, why do I have another action? It's not my turn?

The result would still be at -2.

Adama: It needs to be within 2 of passing to play a Declare Emergency. The result was -2, the difficulty was 5, so you can't I'm afraid (I would have paused otherwise).

Boomer: You have another action because Adama played an XO on you (another player may move/act or act/act). Attempting to break out from the Brig was your first action, so you still have one more.

Oh right I read it as having failed by 2 not 7.
In that case I won't play a card I may or may not have. :-)

Oy vey. I guess try again; one of these days destiny will have to help us. And you've got nothing better to do anyway.

Where did it all go so terribly, terribly wrong...

Ouch. I didn't realize I was getting another turn, or I'd have saved my launch scout card. I guess we can keep trying, and at some point the Cylons will run out of good cards to use?

And destiny will eventually have to stop kicking us in the teeth, right? Adama's probably out of cards for this, but since we can only put in one each we might as well.

Well, I have no useful cards for the check, and I'm not able to launch scouts, since I didn't realize I was getting another turn...any other good options available to me? I'm still not quite sure what I'm able to do / not do in the Brig, and what my options are overall. Can I simply draw a few new cards, if there's nothing useful to do?

The only thing special about the brig (outside of crisis/skill checks) is that you can't MOVE away from it.

So, your available actions are the same as always: activate the location you're at or play a card with "Action" on it.

I think in general the actions available to a player are:
*Play a card with Action: on it.  (these cards are: Consolidate Power, Executive Order, State of Emergency, Launch Scout, Scout for Fuel, Maximum Firepower, Repair, and Build Nuke...also Quorum cards would fit here). 
*Use an Action on a Title Card.  CAG can activate unmanned Viper, President can draw a quorum card, Admiral can launch a nuke.
*Activate the location you are at.


(For you as Boomer:
-Max Firepower and Repair will never be useful in the Brig, Consolidate Power, Executive Order, and State of Emergency are not available to Boomer, so you're highly limited there.
-You don't have a title card
-the location you are at is the brig, and activating the brig = making an escape attempt)

Man, you're just the most friendly cylon ever!

I can't contribute to a break, but maybe we could try again and hope that the Destiny Deck is on our side this time? Any advice from the humans?

You have literally no other actions, so... (As a side note, this is what I was afraid of. On an XO, I could have done president things. If you get out it'll be worth it, but otherwise we just wasted a turn.)
