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

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

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!

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.

I choose OPTION 2. Hopefully we can get a chance to work the quorum again and get the morale back.

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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
BSG (Tory)
I am available for speechifying should the need arise. Unfortunately I have no strategy with which to plan.
On our next Heavy Raider activation do we get boarded?

On our next Heavy Raider activation do we get boarded?
That is correct. You are one heavy raider icon away from being boarded, and one jump icon away from an autojump. If you get a heavy raider activation first, you get boarded; if you get a jump icon first, you'll escape that heavy raider. (If you get a crisis with both icons, the Cylon activation happens first and you'll have an extra passenger for the jump.)
ANother note: you are now 1 distance away from New Caprica, which means that the next jump will get you there, no matter what destination is drawn. At that point, Galactica jumps away, and will only return after a full jump cycle. If you do have a Centurion on board (or if there are ships on the board post-destination, for instance if you jumped into a Cylon Ambush), they will remain frozen in place until Galactica returns, when they will again become active.
