Or I could XO someone. Who should get the XO?

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

It's getting close to my turn, so you could XO me to join the Research Lab party. Zarek should use his turn to be the President, and Helo won't want to XO me.

Is that a worthwhile thing right now, or do we wait until sicko can jump directly into a viper?

Sicko can't jump into a Viper unless we're attacked. If we are not attacked on your turn, Zarek could XO me IF he draws an XO AND he has nothing better to do with the Quorum. If we are not attacked on his turn, Helo may be hesitant to XO me because of turn order. If we are not attacked on Helo's turn, then I'm still in Sickbay.

I think this is probably the safest option, especially since we can't guarantee that Zarek or Helo will even draw an XO. (Of course, you don't need an XO to free me, but it's a more useful way of freeing me since I can at least get a card and still be ready to defend against an attack instead of hanging out in space with nothing to do.)

Sounds like it's the right plan.

I XO Apollo.

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

BSG

Card sent. You know, you've had Morale-raising crises the last two turns in a row. That just doesn't seem right. Let's see what else we have. ...You've already pulled Detector Sabotage, I can't hit the Research Lab... Ooh! This is a good one!

This is the no-jump Riots. Admiral Agathon, when you're ready, please post your choice.

No jump? Aw, man. We were having a pretty good run, too.

Oh, well, that's a no-brainer. Option 1, duh. We've got Fuel and Population to spare. Not so with Food.

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

BSG

I agree. I choose option 1
