Are there any Cylon Attack cards in the New Caprica deck? I'm guessing not because they wouldn't work before the ship came back. Which means that if we just take out those two basestars, we'll be safe up there and only have to worry about down here again.
Tory, if you don't have anything Presidential to do, I can go up to CIC and start doing some damage.

There are no Cylon attack cards. The ships now on the board are it, more or less.

An xo to the admiral could prep two ships, no?

That is correct. Gaeta is now in the Shipyard, so he could be XO'd for the same effect too. Meanwhile, I have orders from all crew members to pass on interrupts. Ellen winds up:
Die roll: 5. Hit! No more Centurion. Ellen passes on a second action. Well, that's not quite true. She's had such success with facepunching of late that she's thinking of turning pro. Gaeta's crisis is:

Mr Gaeta, when you're ready, please post your choice.

Looks like Option 2 is the clear winner of this fight, though. If Tory is thinking of XOing Adama, then I suppose it would make sense for me to go to the Medical Center, if Adama can XO me out before my turn.
BSG (Gaeta)
Hm. Well, we have nothing to gain from the pass effect of option 1. If we end up with someone in the medical center, we can just XO them out, like sickbay, is that right? Are there other potential New Caprica-y effects?

Aside from location, Sickbay and the Medical Centre are essentially the same, from a human player's perspective. (It differs in that a Cylon can wind up there too, if executed, but that's about it.) If a player winds up in the Medical Centre and is XO'd out before their turn, there is no further effect.
BSG (Tor Johnson)
Option 2 sounds OK. I am planning to xo Adama but it depends on my card draw.
note: I love having a soundtrack!
BSG (Gaeta the decider)
Okay, I choose Option 2, sending Ellen to the Med Center on the premise that her beau will sweep in and save her. I also choose to evacuate the ship to Sector 6.
BSG (Muhammad Elli)
Yeah, I need to be patched up after all this facepunching. Tires a girl out.
