Well, looks like we got us A Civilian Convoy (and an earworm, but maybe that's just me). And because we have so much Morale just lying around we'll trade some for Fuel.
Welcome to the Crossroads, my friends, be very careful what deals you agree to.
But if the world doesn't end, I'm gonna need a note.

Too many options for that one. One Convoy to rule them all.

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

A Civilian Convoy costs 3 Fuel. However, thanks to a loophole in the rules, resources cannot go negative. (What would negative population look like? Zombies in space?) Fuel falls to 0. Admiral Cottle then chooses to lose MOral to raise Fual back to 1. The fleet lives!
Crossroads cards are about to go out. Everyone, let me know which of your trauma tokens you will place on your crossroads card. Once I have everyone's choice, I'll resolve all the cards, starting with Cally (the current player). I'll put up a board summary to help with your decisions.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Just like you humans to exploit a loophole to survive. You make me sick.
This Crossroads is going to be interesting.

I'm not going to lie, I'm as surprised as you are that we are still alive. What is this? Third chance? Maybe we should have called it Space Cat instead of Space Camel.

By my records, Morale has twice fallen to 1 and thereafter been raised to 3 before falling again. Fuel has just fallen to 1 for the third time. I hereby dub this crew "U2's Fleas", for verily have you been living on the Edge.

Ok boys and girls and sentient artificial life forms, are you all sitting comfortably? It's time for the Crossroads. All the cards have gone out, and I hvae everyone's choice of trauma. It's time to play "Please, I Want to Live"!
First contestant is Cally, and she's here tonight making a Miraculous Return. She's gone Benevolent - I Believe! There's a lot happening on this option.
1. Morale increases by 1!
2. The destroyed viper makes a comeback!
3. The eight raiders are activated... twice! There are no civilian ships on the board, so Galactica gets fired on 16 times. Here's the first round:
Raider 1a: 4. Miss.
Raider 2a: 4. Miss.
Raider 3a: 3. Miss.
Raider 4a: 3. Miss.
Raider 5a: 3. Miss.
Raider 6a: 4. Miss.
Raider 7a: 7. Miss.
Raider 8a: 3. Miss.
Ooh, swing and a miss. Eight times. Let's see if they do any better now they've warmed up:
Raider 1b: 5. Miss.
Raider 2b: 8. Hit!
Raider 3b: 1. Miss.
Raider 4b: 3. Miss.
Raider 5b: 6. Miss.
Raider 6b: 8. Hit!
Raider 7b: 8. Hit!
Raider 8b: 4. Miss.
So, that would be a yes. Three hits! And the Fuel token is still in the running. Will the crew survive this pummeling? The damage is:
Armory
Command
Weapons Control
Fortunately for Cally, she just vacated the Armoury for the sunnier pastures of FTL Control. That concludes her Crossroads card.
