I'd love a full card draw, but truth be told, I'm at 10 cards right now. If you have a way to repair Command, that could be useful to boss around the RSV's.
The other thing that could be useful would scout the crisis deck. Make sure the next card has a jump icon. All we need to do is jump with enough resources, and we win.

Sorry about this, I forgot Helo's weakness again. As he starts off Galactica, he draws four cards. He has decided to forego a Purple card. I'm sending out new cards now.

Administrative note: Helo's card draw exhausted the Tactics deck. I've reshuffled the discards.

I'm thinking we should pause the game while our president is in the hospital.
Get well soon, Prez!
fyi The only way I have to repair command would involve a visit to the Research Lab.

I'm back and actually not drugged up on pain killers from the kidney stones. Where were we?

That's a total lie, I just saw you on an episode of House, losing your skin and lying your head off.
Seriously though, I'm glad you're feeling better. We're currently on Helo's turn, awaiting his orders.

I was hoping our dear president might have a better idea for getting some repairs done around here than the frakking research lab. Or even a better idea than repairs.

So I've decided to convert my (currently on hiatus) Pathfinder campaign over to 5E. Even with the work of converting everything in the Adventure Path, I think it will still end up easier on me.
Since 5E expects less magic items (and eliminates a lot of the various protection items that are pretty much required in 3.x/PF) I'm over-hauling their gear and trying to give everyone a unique item tied to their character concept (along with couple other standard items.) I like how much easier that is in 5E.
Instead of trying to figure out what spells and feats are required to make it and what plus value to assign to the abilities and how much it costs, I just have to decide what it does, look to see how anything similar works and determine its rarity. Done.

The President's been back for something like five days. Could we get the game moving again?

I'm checking to make sure we are not waiting on a move from me.
