Oops, hit post too soon. Meant to say, yeah, I'd say Ellen in Comms is good.

I don't move and Play xo-1 on Ellen with the Thing.
BSG
COs: Ellen stays in Comms and activates it, checking civvies A and B. Details sent. Ellen, when you're ready, please post where to move them.
BSG (Ellen with the Thing)
Civvie A, move to Sector 4, you nimrod! Civvie B, move to Sector 5! Are you guys stupid or something?
For my second action, I play CP-2 and draw 2 Yellow. That was a good trick, Mr. Gaeta!
BSG
Administrative note: Ellen's CP draw exhausted the Politics deck. I've reshuffled the discards.
You know, I think Ellen's starting to annoy some of the ships' captains. One of them has taken drastic measures! Not against Ellen, who's safely on Galactica. But Tory gave the order, didn't she? Tory's crisis is:
Hidden Explosives
Admiral's Choice
Will the Admiral let the attack go ahead and mollify the grumbling civilians? Admiral Adama, when you're ready, please post your choice.
BSG (Adama)
I choose OPTION 2. Hopefully we can get a chance to work the quorum again and get the morale back.
BSG
Morale falls as a frustrated citizenry finds no outlet other than crying along to Glenn Beck reruns! (Really, you're lucky it was only 1 Morale.)
Raiders and jump track both advance. At turn end, Ellen finds herself one card over her hand limit, and opts to discard: Sabotage 3. Booer passes on sabotage of her own. That concludes Tory's turn. Adama's cards are going out. Admiral Adama, when you're ready, please pot your move and action.

BSG (Adama, giver of orders)
As I usually do, I've got an XO waiting to do some good. I can either do Ellen or Gaeta. Should we take some shots or move the civvies again.
BSG (Gaeta)
I'm happy to shoot again, but do bear in mind that the Pegasus offensive attacks are powerful but risky. I would be happier to shoot if someone would be able to improve our odds.
