Giving it up for the team, eh, sir?

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

Don't worry, those civvies don't need rescuing. (It only occurred to me recently that the resource losses are thematically relevant. Of course, why a successful rescue mission doesn't ALSO give you +1 population is unclear. Something good has to come out of it! Besides, I don't know, not losing Morale and getting sent to Sickbay.)

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
BSG
Thematically, this card is about rescuing a crew member, which is why it doesn't change Population (unless you rescue Helo, I guess). Or, in this case, about not rescuing a team member. Adama heads to Sickbay, and Morale drops as the Fleet realises that an Admiral so willing to sacrifice himself wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice any one of them either.
Next, the raiders activate, and I just realised it matters in which order they activate. The sector 3 raiders will do the same thing either way (one destroys civvie C, the others move to Sector 4). However, if you activate Sector 1 first, those raiders move to S2, pursuing civvie C; otherwise, they move to S6.
Admiral Adama, as current player, it's your choice. Would you like the Sector 1 raiders to move to Sector 2 or Sector 6?

Oh, wow, I didn't even think of that! We should activate Sector 1 first, then, bwahahaha. That's beautiful.

The raiders in Sector 1 move to Sector 2. The raiders in Sector 3 activate next; one of them destroys civilian ship C, while the other four move to Sector 4. The contents of the Cantilever were:
0 Population.
Well, that was a fizzler. Finally, the jump track advances, ending Adama's turn. Boomer's cards are going out. Boomer, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

That wasn't so bad. Make sure we send some octagonal balloons to sickbay.

Well, no point in hanging around guarding empty space. I guess I could follow the civvies, since they're all in one sector now.
Or....I could discard to hit FTL and execute the getting-us-the-hell-out-of-here maneuver.
Thoughts?
