No comment on the Crossroads but - Mr President we have 2 nukes left and 2 sectors full of Cylons. It seems like a very good time to give the Admiral some orders.
Joyce: You don't think it's too obvious? I think I look like I have a cat on my head. Buffy: But a very well groomed cat. Joyce: Well that's a comfort.

The anticipation of this crossroads thing is KILLING me! It's all so new. What will become of the fleet?!? Of us? I feel like it's the mid-season cliff hanger. Please don't make me wait until after Christmas to learn what's happened.

And I'm LAST. I mean, what if I'm, like, dead before you even get to me. I don't even know what to expect with this shit. Besides unending torment and the destruction of all humanity.

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

That can't happen to a revealed Cylon - you can get boxed by excess trauma, but that's resolved only after all Crossroads cards have been played. It can however happen that a human player is executed during Crossroads. If that happens, their Crossroads card still gets played as normal.
Anyway, sorry for the delay, but I now have everyone's play. I'll send you all the full details, but here's the step by step.
Starbuck's card is
The Opera House.
She has chosen the Antagonistic option.
The Door Is Shut:
no effect.

President Baltar has been
Scanned.
He has chosen the Benevolent option.
Order a Retreat:
Morale falls by 1, and he removes 4 raiders from the board. He has chosen to remove all raiders from Sector 3.

BSG
Chief Tyrol has had a
Disturbing Vision.
He has chosen the Benevolent effect.
It Wasn't Real:
He discards 2 trauma and 2 random skill cards. He has only two trauma left, and ditches an Antagonistic and a Benevolent token. He also ditches his one remaining skill card, a Broadcast Location 1.
And here we must pause a moment, as Gaeta has the option to play a Sabotage 3 (if he has one in hand). Mr Gaeta, pass or play?

You're scheming on a thing, it's Sabotage ! Hit something good, robot saboteur!

The Sabotage wrecks the
Admiral's Quarters.
Never mind, Admiral, who has time to sleep with all the excitement? Speaking of which, Cally's card is
Perjury.
She has no trauma tokens left, so she may choose freely which option to take. She has chosen the Benevolent effect.
Gain Sympathy:
she discards two random skill cards, and may discard two trauma. She has no trauma, so just the cards. She discards:
Launch Scout 2
Broadcast Location 1
No Sabotage this time.

Not that the humans were going to have time to Brig anyone anyway, but you're welcome, my hidden compadre.
You humans are so boring with your discarding trauma and cards! Just kill someone already.

The trial continues, and Helo steps up to offer
Testimony.
He has chosen the Benevolent option.
Forgiven:
Helo chooses another player. That player discards two random skill cards and may discard two trauma. Of the humans, Starbuck has two trauma remaining, while Baltar has one trauma. Gaeta has one trauma (you can pick Gaeta if you want - Cylons are not immune to Crossroads cards). Card holdings:
Starbuck:
6 cards
Baltar:
5 cards
Chief:
0 cards
Cally:
2 cards
Gaeta:
5 cards
Helo, when you're ready, please post your choice. This is an open decision, so anyone who wants to can weigh in.
