Can you include the Pursuit Track? I don't know how long we have till we're attacked.

My first instinct is to work Comms, but it's best for me to be in the sky, so here's how it goes:

I remain in Hangar Deck and launch in an MKVII into Sector 5. With my bonus action, I CAG an MKVII into Sector 5 and escort Civvie C home.

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

Oh, sorry, that should indeed be included. It's currently at step 2.

Right. I've edited the summary to include the pursuit track. Meanwhile, Boomer has sent one of the civvies back to the relative safety of its compatriots. It was out there for a while, though; could it have been infiltrated? Has Boomer simply sent a fox back into the henhouse? Boomer's crisis is:

BSG (Tory)

Oh, civilians, can't you just hang out and be safe? I'm beginning to think that the kind of wooly-headed thinking that led to my predecessor getting shot in the face is widespread.

Sigh. Anyway, I'm thinking Option 2 is our best bet.

Oof. Option 2 isn't great. Most of us have gotten rid of the Treachery from the last draw, though, so maybe Option 1 isn't too bad? It would be bad if we hit a really bad ship.

I see your point, but we are just so low on cards! And we could draw a couple of decoys, who knows?

But this administration welcomes all input. Well, from humans, anyway. Presumed humans. Sigh.

Option 2 sounds great.

All right, advisors, Option 1 it is.
