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

BSG

Weapons Control is now repaired. Dr Baltar, apparently the Admiral is a bit pissed off that you're not helping with the repairs. Boomer's Crisis Card is:

Requested Resignation
Admiral's Choice

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

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

Pradmiral Valerii sounds good to me.

Since you are cool with it, and it saves much needed cards, I'll be the Pradmiral. Option 2 please.

(I find it funny. I picked a charcter with a low chance of power. It feels like I've been Admiral a good deal of the game. Now I'm President. Crazy!)

Let's get confirmation from the incumbent first. President Baltar, this is now your choice. Do you relinquish the Presidency, or defy the Admiral?

Incidentally, for those who are interested, the order of succession for both the Admiralty and the Presidency are in the rulebook and hence publicly available. Boomer is 6th in line for the Admiralty (3rd in line in this game), and 8th in line for the Presidency (last in line in this game).

I'm sorry, I should have made myself more clear. I will gladly cede the presidency to Ms. Valerii.

Boomer is now the Pradmiral. There are no Cylon ships on the board, so we can ignore the Cylon activation. This Crisis Card does not advance the Jump Prep track. Finally, Boomer has completed her Recon mission and opted to move the Crisis Card to the bottom of the deck.

That concludes Boomer's turn. Staff Sgt Adama, I am sending you your cards. When you're ready, please post your action.

my fellow citizens. I know things have been in turmoil recently. But we are surviving!! We finally found & ousted a skin job president & CAG, jumped out of cylon infested space, and we are one jump from home! We have repaired weapons control, and have crews gearing up for the other damaged areas. We are going to free our rightful Admiral, and when we do, I will happily relinquish the mantle. We will free the good Doctor, and if he wants it, I will cede the presidency back to him. So let's band together, watch each others backs, and make it home!! May the gods be with us!!
