I think I'll go all presidential and Assign Mission Specialist to Cally.

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

Apollo gets to draw 2 Yellow for that Quorum card play. Cally is now Mission Specialist! That's bound to cause friction with the higher-ups, letting a deck specialist play around with the navigation instruments. Apollo's crisis card is:

Labour Dispute
President's Choice

President Apollo, when you're ready, please post your choice.

Ick. Those are not great choices. Thus the crises, I suppose. What do you guys think?

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

BSG (Zarek)

Well, geez, both those options suck royally.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

BSG (Cally)

It always seems we run so close to ruining out of gas. I'd be hesitant to drop a fuel. I do not envy your position, to make this choice. I think option 1 is the least bad.

BSG (Baltar)

Are we getting a Basestar, is that a thing that is happening?

I think Option 1 might be the lesser suckage.

Um. Wow. Really? Thank you Mr. President. As long as the Admiral understands, this is to help us pick from 3 options. I am not bucking for your job. I'm just a wrench jockey, fixing shit that's broken.

No, it's just an activation. If you already had a basestar, then it would be a thing. As it is, the activation has no effect.

What the hell kind of labour dispute is this? The Teletubbies showed more fire in the "More Tubby Custard" rolling stoppages of 1999!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Apollo)

I don't distrust the Admiral either, I just thought it would be a good opportunity to get an additional choice.

Too bad we hadn't picked up the extra fuel at the last stop or it would make this choice easier. As it is, I think I have to go with Option 1, much as that hurts.

Oh, yay for no effect! That may change my recommendation, but I see Apollo has bolded a choice, so, never mind, I'm sure we'll be fine, we can make more Morale if we have to.
