The busiest little CAG is now back in space where he belongs. he reveals a personal Goal: Use Caution. As the fleet has not yet travelled past 6 Distance, Apollo now receives a new loyalty card. It is going out with the new Quorum card.
That's hungry work, and Apollo is a hungry CAGsident. Apollo's crisis is:
Food Shortage
President's Choice
President Apollo, when you're ready, please post your choice.
BSG (Apollo)
I don't think we can afford to squander the cards in my hand. I choose Option 1. Which I believe means that tonight we feast! Or me and Dad feast! Or we all tighten our belts. I'm not sure how to interpret that. I hope it's feasting, I need to keep up my strength.
Civvies to Sector 6 and, hm, 3
BSG
While I think of it too, Adama played an XO-1 on Apollo.
Meanwhile! Food falls to 5. The raider activation adds a new raider in... Sector 3. Apollo puts two new civvies in Sectors 3 and 6. Finally, the jump track advances into the Blue. That concludes Adama's Big Adventure. The Chief's cards are going out. Chief Tyrol, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
BSG
End-of-turn summary. Note that on turn 3.3, we added a new raider in Sector 3, along with a new civvie into Sector 3; the pursuit track advanced to step 3; and the jump track reached step 3. I only regret that Food didn't fall to 3.

With the skies so quiet, it'd be good to see who we have out there. And the ex-Prez doesn't need to be up there anymore. So I XO-2 Roslin.
BSG
Ms Roslin, you have received an XO. You can either move and take an action, or not move and take two actions. When you're ready, please post your orders.
BSG (Apollo)
Bring all our chickens to me, Ms. R, let them shelter beneath my wings.
BSG (Roslin)
Oh, okay, wow. Wasn't really expecting the XO. It'll cost some biggie cards, but there's not much else going on at the moment, so it's probably worthwhile. It does mean that I won't be able to help on any of the checks from now until my turn though, okay?
I do not move so I discard DE4 and SoE6 to activate Comms to look at Civvies B&C. I will wait to see what's on them before I move them! All this finagling is making me feel just a tad political, though, so I will then show off my mad skillz and use my OPG to draw 4 Quorum cards to resolve one.
BSG
Details sent. When you're ready, please post where to move the civvies and which Quorum card to play.
BSG (Roslin)
Ok, I move Civvie B to Sector 4 and Civvie C to Sector 1.
And then I Release Cylon Mugshots to have a nice glance at the good Admiral's loyalty card. I play no interrupts on the die roll.
