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?
BSG
Oh, wow, I didn't even think of that! We should activate Sector 1 first, then, bwahahaha. That's beautiful.
BSG
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.
BSG(Brave Sir Bobbin)
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?
BSG (Tory)
I'm in favor of jumpiung early
BSG (Tigh, Fight 'Er)
I don't think we should risk 3 Population. I think we should get one more jump prep before jumping early. If we get jump prep on Boomer's turn, we jump on my turn.
Boomer, you could follow the civvies and Scout for a jump icon (and/or keep the basestar from firing). That is my recommendation. (Alternatively, discard to work the Engine Room, but that would be a lot of cards.)
BSG (Tory of the Foster Torys)
I see your point, your Tighness.
