Boomer, do think you can make a good dent in the enemy forces, if ordered to?
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Sadly, they're out of my reach at the moment, but once I catch up, yes. An XO would allow me to catch up, but not fire. I could just end up in Sickbay, though.
(I am considering those 2 Raiders our top priority, but I could try to take out the Heavy instead.)

That Basestar is going to sit there spitting out Raiders, even if we jump away it'll follow on the Cylon Fleet board. So....
I discard CP-2 to move to Pegasus CIC, Activate CIC to fire on the Basestar, and play SP-3 on the roll.

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

The Admiral lines up the shot.
Die roll: 4 + 2 = 6. Basestar damaged once! And the damage is: Disabled Weapons!
At this point, I need to mention a ruling on what happens to a damaged basestar when you jump. Per the Official FAQ, when the fleet jumps, the basestar moves to the Cylon fleet board, and all damage tokens are removed.
Meanwhile, it looks like Apollo wasn't left behind after all. He's been lurking in the airducts and gorging himself on the fleet's stores, and now the fleet faces

Oh, right, that's me! Well, I'm leaning towards Option 2, just to spread the suffering around a little, but I'm willing to hear arguments for Option 1 if anyone has any.

Nope, Option 2 is the way to go. Also, let's destroy that basestar if we can! Otherwise our damage will be for naught!

I agree with Option 2. Both options suck, but spreading the suck around is probably the best way to go...wait, did that sound dirty?

Oh, whoops, I totally got distracted by something shiny. Let's make Option 2 official. Sorry nameless, faceless Galacticans! I hope this doesn't mean we're going all Soylent Greeen, that is terrible for my complexion.

Food falls by 1, and only avoids falling by another 1 due to Population also falling by 1, but it's nothing to do with cannibalism, ok? Ellen made a campaign promise about it and everything.
Finally, the raiders and jump track both advance. That concludes Ellen's turn. Boomer's cards are going out. Boomer, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
