We have an SP! Time to roll it. Incidentally, my other dice have turned up. This Food Rationing will be rolled using the speckled blue and black d8, white numbering.
Die roll: 1 + 2 = 3. Fail.
Sorry about that, Apparently it's still pissed off that I lost it in the first place.
You know what will take your mind off it? A crisis! The State of Emergency is now over, which means Apollo's guard is down. His crisis is:
Raptor Malfunction
Current Player's Choice
Apollo, when you're ready, please post your choice. If he chooses the skill check, possible interrupts will be an IC and/or a Reckless interrupt. Everyone, please send me COs for that eventuality.
BSG
Rats! I was hoping that emergency would be more fruitful, but at least Zarek basically has, like, all the Quorum cards in the world now.
I choose
Option 2.
There's a reason I gave up those noodles. Ergh, my stomach feels funny.
Remember that launching a Viper with Command is a way to get me out of Sickbay without an XO, although there's no reason to put me in space early until we're attacked. Of course, if we're attacked, I will probably be able to jump into a Viper. Long story short, going to Sickbay is no problem for me.
BSG
Long story short, going to Sickbay is no problem for me.
That's cool, you going to Sickbay is no problem for me either. Finally, the jump track advances, and that concludes Apollo's turn, which saw possibly the most sedate state of emergency ever. Chief Tyrol's cards are going out. Chief, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Administrative note: the Chief's card draw has exhausted the Leadership deck. I've reshuffled the discards.
BSG
Shall I go ahead an get Apollo out of Sickbay?
BSG
I think we can wait for someone to XO Chief for the Airlock to be repaired. Having more birds in the air is never bad, imo. If you can't XO me, Chief, maybe come join me and launch an RSV for Apollo's future commandeering.
BSG
Chief, if you can repair the Airlock and use your bonus action, that would be cool. Unfortunately, sending me out into space would basically just do that, as I wouldn't be able to use my bonus action at all. I don't think it's a priority to get me out immediately. The only advantage to launching me prematurely is that if we're not attacked by my turn, it's an excuse to discard my Treachery card to move back to the ship.
I don't think there's a Cylon Attack card that doesn't place a Viper on the board, and, personally, I would rather wait to use my ability in that situation. Not that I want us to be attacked, but there's no reason for me to be in space if we're not under attack. The real power of my ability is the fact that if we are attacked, I can jump into a Viper and take an action immediately. If I'm already in space, I can't do that.
That being said, getting me out is really easy, so, unless there is seriously nothing better for you to do on your turn, I wouldn't worry about it right now.
If you have an XO (which it is clear you do), I'd say XO Gaeta to draw cards, which would make his moving to Research Lab during the emergency worthwhile.
BSG
And I was just going to be all simple and XO Apollo directly. Did you have anything in mind beyond launching a viper for Apollo to take over, Admiral?
BSG
I mean, with a simple XO, I suppose I could join the party in Research Lab and draw a card.
