anyone be able to help me plan its mission?

I'm afraid I'm not Virgil (The man with the plan).

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

BSG (Kat)

Well that's unfortunate. Let's hope someone can XO me so I can move back.

I'll move to Sector 3 and Play LS-1 to scout the crisis deck.

(It's really all I can do)

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

BSG

Scouts away!

Die roll: 3. Pass! The top card of the crisis deck is going out. Kat, when you're ready, let me know whether to put it on the top or the bottom of the deck.

On account of no raider activation and a jump prep icon I think we should keep this one. I know fuel is tight but there are no good crises, right?

I can't send out the full details right now, but it's one I think you're all familiar with. Kat has sanctioned for you the funny Riots (Admiral's Choice). This is the one with the jump icon and basestar activation. I'll send out the details in the morning, but Pradmiral Zarek may make his choice before then if he wishes.

There's no way we're getting through with Morale that low. I choose Option 2.

Chief? How about an XO to Push The Button?

Population and Fuel drop by 1, but everyone seems pretty happy about it. I presume because of the supplies of freshly roasted Soylent Green to replace the algae lost in the food fight. Finally, the jump track advances into the Blue. That concludes Kat's turn. Chief's cards are going out. Chief, when you're ready, plesae post your move and action. (Anyone who thinks they might pull an XO from the Chief, You can send me COs for your orders.)

OK team Humans. Push the button? Or one of you want an XO? I'm thinking nobody is in danger with an activation, so pushing the button would be an unnecessary risk. Maybe wait one more turn for that.

Also, I'm at 2 Mutiny Cards. If we draw a jump icon, I get a third, and head to the slammer. One of them might be helpful... Maybe.

BSG(Admirably President)

If we want to jump, stay on Pegasus and XO me. The only reason to wait would be to avoid the small chance of Robo throwing a Cylon Attack Crisis at us right after we jump. We need to reach the finish line FAST, before our Morale bottoms out.

Or, y'know, keep yourself out of the Brig. That's always a good plan.
