Hmmm. On the one hand, we need to get Romo out of Sickbay quick. On the other, the Chief is in a position to get the RSVs back into the air. Thoughts on the best use of an XO?

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

BSG ("Chief" Galen Tyrol)

That's a tough one. We need the full card draw. Bud those civilians are sitting ducks. I won't know until my turn, if I can xo him. Kat only draws 1 green. Low chance she will draw an xo. I think, if you can, get him out of sickbay, and hope for the best with the crisis cards.

I'm currently watching Gravity, and apparently debris can be pretty damn threatening

Saw that in the theaters. Some great sound on that one. Pay particular attention when she can hear something, and when she hears nothing.

Chief is in Communications, not Command.

Kat will launch on her turn to protect the civvies, and the civvies will be safe till then.

I can launch some RSVs into Sector 5, or move one into Sector 4, but the ones we had in Sector 5 and Sector 6 were doing literally nothing to help the current situation anyway. It's if we get another Cylon attack on top of this one that they're good for.

Ooh, good point. OK, I will Stay Right Here and Play XO-1 on Romo.

I move to Command and activate Command to launch an RSV into Sector 5 and move it to Sector 4.

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

RSV launched! Zarek keeps the President busy with some make-work on Galactica, so he can continue his plans without scrutiny. Zarek's crisis card is:

Suspicious Election Result
Admiral's Choice

Admiral Zarek, when you're ready, please post your choice.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

BSG (Kat)

Obviously it would be in Zarek's bets interests to choose option #1 but how do the rest of us feel about having a Pradmiral?

I oppose Option 1 because I am clinging to the Presidency for the good of Team Human, but I can understand that Zarek, if human, would consider taking the Presidency for the good of Team Human. I don't think I've done anything suspicious, so I would suggest we keep the balance of power.

I think a balance of power is key. Especially since we only have 4, with a chance 1 of us could be(come) Cylon.
