Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

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

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

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.

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!

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

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

BSG

Yes, save the food. I'm hungry!!

Dang, no jump. Thankfully nothing to launch. And look, no cards burned.

All right, Mr. President, get us some more Food somehow!

Do we need to start banging the tables with our forks and knives? Or will that just get us algae?
