The slow realisation that Old Floppy-Haired Genius is not commercially available reverses the gains from Baltar's speech, and sparks ice cream and Tim Tam binges across the fleet. Morale and Food drop by 1.
Finally, the jump prep track advances by 1. That concludes President Baltar's turn. Boomer is still on the Resurrection Ship, so she draws only one card, and has opted to draw Treachery. Her card is going out.

I have some COs from Boomer. She moves to Caprica, and begins mass production of knockoff Old Floppy-Haired Genius. And for a limited time, it's available to the fleet at the low low price of 5 credits a bottle! And look at this star map, there's an outlet in the next system, well, why don't you just pop over and pick up a bottle or HEEEEEEYY, that's not a retail outlet! That's a basestar!
Boomer plays her Super Crisis (one of them, anyway):
Lured into a Trap
Cylon Attack
Oh, she also adds that she will "end with an evil laugh, as is the way of my people."

Game on! Cally's cards are going out. Cally, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
BSG
Woes. That Special Rule's a killer. Ahem.
BSG
How can we be lured into a trap? WE KNEW SHE WOULD DO THAT.
Oof, that's not great. And, wow, that is one hell of a Special Rule. That means we have to survive this jump cycle fair and square, pretty much. (Guess you can hold off on Repairing the Engine Room, Cally.)
At least Cally and Cain are poised to attack.

Tiger Claw!

with an XO I can launch a nuke and fire on some raiders.
BSG
A reminder, you're in Weapons Control. One activation allows you to fire at one ship - basestar, heavy raider or raider.
BSG
frak! Way less fun than Pegasus's main batteries.
