PS: If Baltar has another XO card, maybe he can XO me on his turn, and then I can play a couple more XOs on Boomer then.
That would not be a legal move. Per the XO text, only one XO may be played per turn, so you can't just chain them together.
Boomer, you have received an XO. You may either move and take an action, or not move and take two actions. When you're ready, please post your choice.

launch 2 RSV from forward tube into sector 6. Defend those civies!!

Consider it done. There is now a wall of redshirts standing three-deep between the raiders and the civvies. Oh, by the way: Staff Sgt Adama, could you confirm the value of the XO you played on Boomer? Thanks. And Boomer, could you confirm what you want to do with the results of your Recon? Thanks again.
That concludes Adama's turn. Staff Sgt Adama, your hand contains 13 cards (after your XO of Boomer). You will need to discard 3 cards to get back to your hand limit of ten.
President Roslin, I am sending you your card draw. When you are ready, please post your move and action.

Administrative note: President Roslin's card draw exhausted the Politics deck. I've reshuffled the discards.
Further note: Boomer has exercised her Recon ability and moved the Crisis Card to the bottom of the deck.
BSG
At the risk of sounding all toaster-like. There is a wee advantage to you two in the brig, as long as you have enough XO cards. We get two less crisis cards each round. Of course, if you run out of XO cards, the advantage is gone.
BSG
Also it takes a ton of cards to get us out of the brig.
BSG
For my move and action, I will stay right here and use my once per game Skilled Politician power to draw four quorum cards and play one of them.
BSG
yeah, there's no way to get us debrigged. Also it would be a waste of a turn. But we actually need the crisis cards so we can jump before we suffer more damage.

ah crap. I forgot about that part.
