What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I guess the question is whether you can fend off the attack until we can jump. -2 Pop is steep for a Crisis Card, I think. We should be losing Population from Cylon attacks, not because we, uh, decide to sacrifice them to keep from being attacked? I don't know.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
BSG
I'm OK with risking population but option 2 doesn't seem too awful. I'm going to ignore what my character would do and wait for opinions from the rest of the team.

You want me to hold off 6 Raiders, 3 of which will be here in one more activation? I can try.

Only 5 Raiders, 2 of which will be there in one activation. Protect all 5 civvies! By yourself!
Er, maybe this is not the best plan. Here is the thing, then: if we consider that you will probably fail, then we will lose a whole lot more than 2 Population if the Raiders attack those civvies.
I'm leaning towards the Pop loss now, unless we think we can take on the Cylons and not lose any civvies before we jump.

I'm guessing if Boomer had some good piloting cards she'd be sounding a little braver right now. I'll go ahead and do what Cain would do.
I choose Option 1
Acceptable losses, people.

Oops, I hadn't updated my notes.
Well, with only 5 Raiders bearing down on me and my new friends...that still sounds like a challenge. I could probably hold out a little while, but I don't know how long. My piloting skills would be depleted pretty quickly if you know what I mean.

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

Alas for the fleet, Boomer is not there to rescue them. She's simply there to record their wacky misadventures for Caprica's Funniest Home Videos.
Population falls to 10, and the raiders advance to Sector 3. Finally, the jump prep track advances by 1.
Boomer's turn concludes with her Recon mission. The top Crisis Card is going out. Boomer, when you're ready, please post whether to put the card on the top or the bottom.
Meanwhile, Cally's cards are going out. Cally, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Oh, let's not face that just yet. Bury it.
