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

Okay, Cally, you look like a woman who knows her business. I hereby Assign you Chief of Staff. I figure since you draw politics, you'd be in the best position to know when it would be helpful to make those count positive. That gives me 2 yellow, plus for my character ability, I draw one purple and one red.
Then for my second action, I activate it again, drawing another Quorum card and pausing.

Cards sent to the President, and she has left orders to finish up by playing Food Rationing (draw 1 Purple and 1 Blue).
This Quorum card gives a die roll to increase Food, and may be modified by a Strategic Planning before the roll, and/or a Calcs after it. Everyone with those cards, please pass or play on interrupts.

What do we need to roll to get the Food?
Eta: eh, it doesn't matter. SP-3

Admiral Tigh plays an SP on the die roll.
Die roll: 8 + 2 = 10. Pass! Food increases to 9.
Look at that, all that Food. That's some good rationing, right there. I'm sure the surplus is all in very capable and trustworthy hands. On an unrelated note, Tory's crisis is:
Food Hoarding in the Fleet
President's Choice
President Tory, when you're ready, please post your choice.

Ah. Prescient of me, wasn't that? At least this was a President's choice and not a current player choice. I'm thinking we don't want to risk the civvie, right? Since we gained the food, this is really only a cumulative loss of 1 for that category.

Tally: -9. EPIC FAIL!
Yeeeeah, good thing we didn't try to pass that one.
Wow. That flushed out a lot of Treachery.
Holy crap, way to go, Tigh and Tory! Kat and I only had the one card, so we were guaranteed to lose it, but luck was on your side, it seems. And Cally didn't lose a terrible card.
Wow, that worked out surprisingly well. To your health, Starbuck.
Thanks. Like I said, it was as good a crisis as we could hope for right now!
At least this was a President's choice and not a current player choice.
How would that make a difference?
Way to build up your hand via Quoruming, Prez! As for the choice, yeah, might as well take the Food hit because we really can't afford to lose a civvie.
OMG WE ARE FINALLY GOING TO JUMP OUT OF THIS FRAKKING DOGFIGHT.

Tory's weakness kicks in on "Current Player's Choice" cards, and would have forced her to take the Morale option. It doesn't affect "President's Choice" cards though.
