I thought I had to pick one of the two before anyone could play cards or decide to do anything?
That is correct. The other players can proffer opinions, and offer to play interrupts (truthfully or not), and they can certainly put in COs with me; but nothing actually happens until you make your choice.
Which you have now done. let's roll the die.
Die roll: 2 + 2 = 4. Fail!
MYYYY SHIIIIIPS!
The raiders activate immediately, moving to Sector 2. Finally, the jump track shifts off the Start. That concludes Cally's turn. Starbuck starts her turn in Sickbay, and therefore may draw only one card. She has opted to draw Purple. Card going out now.

Well damn.
I was torn between this and option 1, but it didn't seem like enough assurance we could pass the check. and the plus 2 seemed like it was more of a sure thing.
guess it wasn't.

Well; whether it was
more
of a sure thing isn't immediately apparent. It had a 75% chance of coming off; whether the skill check was on a par with it is an open question.

Change of plans; with the appearance of the raiders, Starbuck has changed her draw to Red. Card going out now.
BSG (Starbuck)
I
move to the Hangar Deck, launch into Sectpr 5 and move to Sector 4.
Hello Civilians! Pay no attention to that lengthy stay in Sickbay, I am full capable of protecting you!
My fellow humans (and acting humans, what the frak, why not include you?), an XO to me would not be wasted.

Starbuck assumes the position. Meanwhile! ...I really don't have flavour text for this. Because water has no taste! Starbuck's crisis is:
Water Shortage (A)
President's Choice
The first duty of Prrradmiral Tigh! Pradmiral, when you're ready, please post your choice.
BSG (Starbuck)
Option 2 would be very bad. Go Option 1, choose Option 1!
BSG (Tigh one on)
Option 2 would be very bad. Go Option 1, choose Option 1!
Yeah but that brings us down to only 3 food. Is that what the people want?
At some point I can increase food- unfortunately it's at the cost of morale.
BSG (Starbuck)
That's what this person wants!
Seriously, going a whole round with no piloting cards and already three raiders seems like a bad idea.
