The Armoury is repaired. Which.. is... thirsty work? Yeah, I got nothing. Cally's crisis card is:
Water Shortage (B)
President's Choice
This Water Shortage has a basestar activation and no jump icon (sorry). CAGmident Adama, when you're ready, please post your choice.

This Water Shortage has a basestar activation and no jump icon (sorry).
Dammiiiiiiiit.
I mind discarding, but not heavily, if you don't mind and you want to save Food. Otherwise, Food hit.
I'm sorry, Dee, but that's just funny.
Can't say I disagree with you on that one. Just as I fix the bugger, it goes and gets blown up.
BSG (Dee)
I think either option is fine. Actually, I think the food hit might be better, if we want any hope of passing any skill checks, since Pappy just tossed a couple cards.
Um, and an XO to me would be helpful. I can repair. ANd I need to get out of sickbay, so I can get full card draw.
BSG (Adama)
Food is a renewable resource, right?
BSG (Dee)
I think population is the only one NOT renewable. But, I think the primary way to renew is via Quorum. But BT can answer that with far more knowledge than I can.
BSG (Cally)
I think population is the only one NOT renewable.
Nope, there's at least one Crisis where you can get +1 Pop. Rescue Mission, I think.
either way, adding to resources is rare/difficult.
BSG
For every resource, there are Quorum cards, crisis cards and/or destinations that can raise their total. In Food's case, there are four crisis cards and four Quorum cards. There are, of course, many more crisis and Quorum cards that do not raise Food, and a number of crisis cards that lower it; like this one, as with this answer, Adama has left COs:
choose option 1.
Food falls by 1.
Next, the basestar fires again.
Die roll: 4. Hit! FTL Control damaged.
That can't be right, no one was in there. ...Oh well, we'll sort that out later.
That concludes Cally's turn. Leoben is on the Resurrection Ship and draws one card. He has opted to draw Treachery, which is going out now.

Cards have gone out. Leoben, when you're ready, please let me know which cards to return to Destiny.
That concludes Leoben's turn. Apollo has opted to draw 1 Red and 1 Treachery. this is the first Red anyone has drawn since Apollo revealed as a Cylon, which is to say, the first Red draw in 30 turns. Cards are going out now.
