Sounds perfectly reasonable to me.
We'll be in our bunk.

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

Lee "Apollo" Adama, for the capital crime of the look on your face when we do it being just hilarious. and anyway we have to test this Airlock on someone, right? - You have been sentenced to a Very Special Episode in Sweeps Week.
As the corpse of Apollo is fired at high velocity towards the basestar, his personal effects are revealed to contain the following:
Investigative Committee 3
Consolidate Power 1
Trust Instincts 0
Maximum Firepower 3
One "YOU ARE NOT A CYLON" loyalty card.
As that last piece of news spreads throughout the fleet, the people slowly realise that there are not many copies, and they will never get to execute Apollo ever again. How cheaply we value these pleasures before they're gone. Morale falls by 1.
The military mind remains steadfastly forward-looking, however, and the position of CAG is filled by Lieutenant Kara "Starbuck" Thrace. Starbuck, please accept this welcoming gift of a new Loyalty card. Per the Exodus rules, I have shuffled an extra "YOU ARE NOT A CYLON" card into the deck before dealing.
Finally, two more raiders launch from the basestar, and the jump track advances. That concludes Apolbuck's turn. Cally's cards are going out. Cally, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

I love the smell of airlock in the morning.

Well, hello, ladies! Give me just a moment to grieve the attractive yet conflicted Apollo...and we're good! I just feel so fresh and kinda...clean. So good to be with you! I shall chomp on cigars and outbullshit the bullshittiest of you and then unexpectedly grow my hair out at an alarming rate. Now! I jut my chin out with soldierly resolve, and look forward to exhibiting how much better a pilot I am than that guy. Three for four? Yeah, whatever.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
BSG (Tory)
Aw, man, we lost an IC.
So an XO to our new Starbuck would be a decent idea. Stupid Raiders! Or start firing on the basestar.
I love the smell of airlock in the morning.
I like how we brought Apollo back to the ship just to execute him. You'd think he would have cottoned to my bad mood and made a break for it.

I prefer to thing that I'd have installed remote eject systems into all the Pegasus Vipers so that I can just execute pilots with the press of a button from Command.

I would like to get Starbuck in the sky but first I discard Establish Network-0 to move to Pegasus CIC
so a future XO to me could destroy a basestar.
Then I play XO-1 on Starbuck.
May the gods be with us.

BSG (Starbuck)
Ha, yes, watch my badassery as I...okay, actually I can't do very much. My former self was just killed recently, you know. Which makes my former romantic entanglements sort of narratively masturbatory if you ask me which no one did, of course, because no one ever listens to me and I have to earn all my respect. (Did the canonical Starbuck talk in runons this much? I don't think she did. I think I am totally making this characterization up.)
Anyway, I hop in a viper, launch out into Sector 6 and move to Sector 1, and then I... waggle my eyebrows kinda threateningly and then bop around the skies a bit despite a clear and present danger.
