Gods help us, that's a lot. Roslin, I'm surprised you went with that option, I thought the skin jobs wanted peace. This could destroy us. Please, change your mind and go with the other option. Let's have peace talks.
For goodness' sake, have some dignity, Pradmiral!
I'd rather be without dignity and with life than the other way around.

You are bloody wussing out just like the show. You may be canon but you should be shot as a toaster-hugging coward.
Pass the popcorn.
Can't negotiate when you are dead. Can't toaster-cide when we are dead. One might call it a feint to blindside the enemy with a knock out smash!

One might also call it begging for one's life like leetle coward, like - well, like Dr Baltar.
Anyway. I feel a dramatisation of the current situation is appropriate. Indulge me a moment.
To the Fleet’s leadership, the crisis is obvious. Without the water locked within the ice fields of the moon shining below you, the Fleet risks extinction. But with so many people missing along the way, much of the Colonies’ technical expertise has been lost. The work is dangerous, and volunteers are not forthcoming. Pradmiral Valerii has been left with no choice. She has signed the order that one civilian in ten is to be conscripted for the water mining effort.
The fleet reacts with outrage. They are resentful that the leadership could not prevent so many losses along the way, and fearful that the Admiral (a figure few know, and even fewer trust) seized the Presidency as a prelude for the declaration of a military dictatorship. Why is the only remaining civilian leader still in custody? Are the remaining civilians merely fodder for the Pradmiral’s war machine? They refuse the Pradmiral's order, and barricade the remaining ships against Galactica's marines.
Such is the magnitude of the resistance that the Fleet’s leadership has to overcome. There are rumours, too, that a peaceful solution could have been found. Was Cylon interference responsible for bringing things to this flashpoint? Admirals both past and present, and Presidents both past and present, have combined their skills to try to negotiate yet another crisis.
In non-BSG related news, now that it's in the press, I can say:
My company's next game is getting close to release.

Baltar passes on interrupts. May the Gods be with us as I can help only a little.

It's nail-biting.
