All right, here we go!
I move to Command, where I adroitly hand Gaeta a card to draw 1Y/1G.
Here in Command, I declare a State of Emergency-6.
Aaaaaahh!
Now I play LS-1 on the Crisis Deck.

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

Ok, this could take a while. But! First off, let's see how that little scout does:
Die roll: 2. Fail. The scout goes spinning off into the ether.
Ok. Let's get things going properly. Ellen has declared a State of Emergency. Food falls by 1. Now, every player may take either a move, or one action. Ellen's action was to attempt to scout the crisis deck. Gaeta is up next. Mr Gaeta, when you're ready, please post your move or action. Everyone else, you can send me COs for your orders if you wish.
Reminder: there is still a limit of one XO per turn. The SoE does not count towards this limit; therefore, it is still open for one (human) player to play an XO as their action.

Another note: your raptor fleet has fallen to 2. From now on, I'll be pausing for SP interrupts on scouting missions.

FRAK. Tory, if you're able to try, that would be great. Gaeta and Adama should be moving Vipers around and shooting at things. I am afraid of whatever Boomer didn't bury.

I do have an XO that I could use during this. It seems prudent. Who would best be served by the extra action?

My plan was for Gaeta to activate Command, and then you XO him to activate Command twice. Without a pilot, we need to get the RSVs to protect those civvies. I can only assume that Boomer left us a Crisis to activate Raiders. We have no EMs. If those Raiders activate, unless all four of them miss that 1 RSV, we lose that civvie.
I am also in Command, the other option being for me to activate it once and then use the other action to draw some Piloting in hopes of getting some EMs. But it's a gamble.
I mean, honestly, Gaeta could just have that one Viper fire six times and hope to take out most of the Raiders. Offense vs. Defense. I'll leave it to him to choose the strategy.
Oh, Tory, you're back in the President's Office?! Oh, good, then maybe you have magic Quorum powers to help us in this emergency.

We have no EMs. If those Raiders activate, unless all four of them miss that 1 RSV, we lose that civvie.
Technically, if three of them miss, then the fourth one spends its action whacking the RSV, and the civvie would survive to see another turn.
