And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

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

BSG

Boomer passes, which means the check passes too. You have won the coveted no effect!

The heavy raider and jump track both advance, to bring Boomer's turn to an end. Boomer's Recon and Ellen's cards are going out. Boomer, when you're ready, please post whether to put the card on the top or bottom of the deck. Ellen, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Crisis averted. Ellen has left COs for her turn:

Move to Command, get adroit with Gaeta for 1Y/1G
Action: Play XO-1 on Tory.

Edit: she also left some flavour text:

How you doing, Felix? Here, have a card. Is my honey still not feeling well? Oh, I'm sure he can survive a turn or two. We can too! Leave no ship behind, that's what Saul always says. But before we leave, Madame President, would you like to exercise some presidential powers and replenish your hand?

President Foster, you have received an XO. You may either move and take an action, or not move and take two actions. When you're ready, please post your orders.

Nyergh, I was really hoping you'd assure us a jump icon so my gambit paid off. Well, there's still a chance. Hope you can play two Quorum cards and draw some cards, Tory.

Gaeta or Tory, please XO Adama for me! If things are really dire after my turn, he can push the button. But we can withstand anything but a basestar firing on us at this point. It will take two Raider or Heavy Raider activations to cause us harm, and the basestars can launch all the Raiders they want.

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

BSG (Tory)

I think I have four cards.

I'm going to stay put and put some pressure on the quorum.

Esteemed members of the Quorum, may I have your assurance that you all stand behind me during this time of crisis?

I draw a quorum card and wait to see what it says.

Why hello thar!

Use it wisely!

BSG (President of Everything)

I like that one, but I'm going to draw another. And for my next action draw yet another quorum card.

Esteemed members of the quorum, there is a lot of crisis going on right now.

Once again waiting to see what I got to decide if I will play or redraw.

BSG (Your Inspirational President)

People of the Free Fleet, [insert awesomely inspirational speech here] thank-you. Good night and gods bless.

I play Inspirational Speech

and use my special ability to draw 2 Purple cards. Is it OK if I see what they are before I pass or play on interrupts for the die roll?
