Unless it didn't discard because it wasn't needed??
Oh, that's so very not how it works. Your card has returned to my clutches.
On the other hand, Staff Sgt Adama thought it would be a wheeze to play a Purple-3 to modify your first roll. So apparently he's given you the XO as long as you're in the firing chair already, and now he's hanging over your shoulder and micromanaging. Let's see how effectively.
Roll 1:
6 + 2 = 8. Hit! Let's see what we draw here...
Critical Hit!
The basestar is destroyed!
This is all well and good, but now you have an action left over. You can't move anywhere as you've already taken an action. You could fire on one of the raiders, or else if you have a low Purple card, you could order a scouting mission. Or you could just point the guns at the basestar debris and make 'pew pew' noises.
When you're ready, please post your choice for your second action.

I'll take "Fire on a raider for $200, Alex"

There's a new die in town, kids! Blue, speckled black. White numbering. My black die is having a time-out to take a good hard look at itself and think about what it's done. (Plus, I can't find it.)
Die Roll:
3. Hit! One raider gone; one remains.
Time for Adama's Crisis Card - and it is:
Rescue Mission - B
Admiral's Choice
Admiral Valerii, when you're ready please post your choice.

Who knew I was such a good micromanager? Good shooting Boomer, as usual.

Alas, given the current Crisis, the Admiral doesn't seem to have taken well to being micromanaged. She's snapped, ordering the marines to administer a microbeating! Staff Sgt Adama has been chased into the hangar deck; What will happen next - will he hop a raptor and flee until the Admiral has cooled off, burning off the last of the Fuel in the process; or submit to the beating he so richly deserves?
Come to think of it, that's ambiguous punctuation right there. I'm now thinking that, in a spectacular role reversal, Adama is expressing his love of all things shooting-Boomer related.
BSG
Geez, can't a guy get some sleep?
I go with
Option 1.
Sir, you are looking a bit blue. Maybe you should go to sick bay.

I think Boomer just shot me. Again.

Why does NO ONE BELIEVE ME when I say she's one of Us?
Jumped the fleet - TWICE - and killed people - TWICE.
Now shot Dad. AGAIN.
I mean....gah!
BSG
Dude! I say the (former) boss man is looking a little sea sick, and I'm accused of shooting someone! WTFrak?
As for Mr. Peanut-Gallery-Dancing-Queen-I-can't-sing-a-note Toaster-boy. Clamp it!

Just seemed like the fastest way to get someone to Sickbay.
