Bill, those ships could cost us more than a little old human sacrifice. Just give those big bad robots what they want and come back to bed.
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

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

Won't someone please think of the children? Who will continue to drag us down if we don't cut them loose now...
But seriously I think this is the sort of choice that you only find out was right after you see the next crisis card. I'm leaning towards the pop loss (especially considering our piloting dearth) but maybe we can weather two base stars without losing two pop? I'm just not sure.

Yeah, it's definitely a lose-lose...almost as if the game were designed that way...
But the point is valid, a 2 pop hit is a significant hit, and all the metal out there is only a potential hit. So I could be swayed. But it's early in the game and of course now all our resources are high, so it's going to be hard to make a call.

Two basestars will also mean double the basestar activations when they start shooting at us and launching Raiders. This early in the jump cycle, I wouldn't want to add more ships to the board when we could get a bona fide Attack card at any time.
That being said, it does all depend on the cards. Lose-lose, like you said.

I lean towards the population hit.
Ellen, stop stealing the covers.

I don't know what to tell you guys, but it's pretty lonely out here. But I'd kind of like to not have more company of the shooting-at-me kind.

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

Technically, your new company would be more civvies, who probably won't start shooting at you.

Why you have to spoil all my fun? Ok kids, when the Admiral told you to have everything packed in time or he'd go without you, he wasn't kidding around. Population drops by 2. Fortunately, no one liked them anyway, so Morale is just fine.
Finally, both the raiders and the jump track get moving. That concludes Boomer's turn. Ellen's cards are going out. Ellen, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
