Yes! I have an XO. Get us out of here, Admiral!
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

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

I'm at work and not staring at the board and such. Being a visual guy, it helps with decisions. I know we are in the middle of a FRAK load of flack. Can we afford the jump, population wise? How many did we loose the last time we jumped? Maybe I'm just feeling guilt from the loss of lives the last time I gave the order. Certainly we want to not let Toaster!Mom over there activate any other raiders or anything.
(yes, sometimes I hate being a Libra)

To heck with the namesless, faceless masses, get us out of here! oops, I mean:
I'm sorry Admiral, but Galactica has to come first. We knew when we started that we couldn't save everyone.

If we jump, there's a die roll that we lose population. If we stay, it's a card draw - each civvie ship is worth a certain amount.
While the odds of losing population on a jump are good, it's 100% we'll lose population if we stay.

Y'know I never expected to enjoy this game - and the dialogue - as much as I have.
I must pick up this game.

You know Pete, I am liking this game in much the same way I like the Serenity RPG - it's rather adroitly crafted to recreate the feel of the TV show in question.

Pete, I own a copy - if we can get 3 or 4 more people, and a couple of hours, I'll bring it over some Saturday and we can toaster-smash to our little hearts' content.
I bought my copy *solely* based on the amusement I found reading *this* session. And I love eeeeet.

Jump! Jump! Jump!
or
Stay! Stay! Stay!
Either way: you die.

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

You currently have 5 Population left. (This is included in the last End-of-turn summary, along with the numbers and positions of ships.) Jumping now would risk 3 Population. There are three civilian ships on the board, Boomer has previously examined two of them (though she can't share this knowledge).
And Dr Baltar played a G2 to XO Boomer.

I have heard on Earth, there is a song. Starbuck brought a mix tape with the song on it. It says something along the lines of "might as well JUMP! Go ahead and JUMP!". How can you resist Rock n Roll.
Game Master. Move me to the FTL. Action me to Jump. It's not like I can launch vipers, or shoot at them with Galactica guns.

You could launch vipers, you just can't launch yourself in a viper. However, I'm happy to get that fleet jumping. The population risk is a die roll; we will pause for the human crew to pass or play on a Strategic Planning interrupt.
