I can shoot, but I have nothing with which to repair.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

(note that the real Cain would have ordered the jump already)
If we jump early we lose two civvies for sure. What are the chances we won't lose the equivalent if we try to make it through the jump cycle? Any strong objections to me ordering the FTL operator to get us the hell out of here right now?

Yeah, you know what, it's a risk, but a calculated one. The skies are pretty frakking full, and probably Boomer will fill them again once we're underway, but I think it's our best option right now. Anything I can do is only in the pew pew range, especially with the daggone card shortages that have been in effect this whole time. Ideally a jump would give us a little breathing space and some time to lick our wounds. Of course, the way things have been going, the blind jump means that it could work out badly for us instead, but hey.
I say go for it.

On the next Raider activation, we lose Civvie E. The one after that, Civvie A. Maybe if someone Comms those two into Sector 5 so Anders and the RSVs can protect them, we stand a chance.

I could move those civvies... I'm going to wait for my card draw- if I get a critical situation I could also launch a scout... or a nuke.

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

Cards sent. Admiral, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Lieutenant, Jump us out of here!
But sir, the entire fleet doesn't have the coordinates. Some of those civilian ships will be lost in space!
Are you questioning my orders? Why don't you go have a lie down in the brig while the airlock is being repaired? Ensign...
Activating FTL drive, sir!
I'm using my OPG to get us the frak out of here.

Admiral, you can also post whether you wish to move anywhere (else).
Meanwhile, the fleet jumps! Blindly, randomly and awesomely. Two ships are left behind to cover your retreat:
Civvie H:
1 Population
Civvie I:
2 Population
However, their entirely involuntary sacrifice has bought you a sweet ride. Per the house rules for Cain, your jump lands you at the second Destination from the top of the deck, and it is:
Desolate Moon
3 Distance
You know what that means: Sleeper Phase! Crew of Galactica, please tune the tiny receivers embedded in your fillings to radio station TSTR, and see if you pick up anything more than static. New Loyalty cards going out.
