I know, Tory, I'm sorry! I'm in a weird place because I've got stuff in my hand that could be useful, but I'm trying to figure it all out. It's possible I'm spending too much time in other peoples' heads, off camera, I'm not sure. I will try and get it together!

It hits: FTL Control! Admiral Gaeta, it is the consensus of the medical staff that the President ordered you out of your sickbed too hastily.

You've got to be kidding me.

Argh! I'm sorry, Felix, I thought the odds against that happening made it an ok gamble, as opposed to destroying Pegasus.

Bah.

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

You've got to be kidding me.

I counted up four Galactica damage tokens that could be really funny especially damaging. FTL and Hangar Deck would send someone to Sickbay. Food has been at risk the whole game. The crown jewel, of course, would be the Fuel token.

But FTL is good too.

(PS: that was a very eventful turn, with a jump and multiple card-based effects and such. Anyone who wants to check through the end-of-turn summary to see if it all makes sense, feel free.)

Orders from Cally: she moves to the Cylon Fleet and launches new ships. Two raiders and a heavy raider appear in Sector 1.

That concludes Cally's turn. Gaeta starts his turn in Sickbay, so he draws just one card. He has opted to draw Green. Admiral Gaeta, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Sounds like fun to me.

Eta: Strategic fun, that we could plan, even.
