I play 1 card.

Just for the record - I'm not out of cards. Check the last End of Turn summary, and then my action (of drawing one more card) - I have a LOT of cards.

I read the summary for Tyrol's turn, not yours. I am smrt.

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

BSG

I have COs from Apollo and Chief: Apollo plays 1 card; Chief plays 2 cards.

Mr Zarek is next to play, and Helo will finish the check.

I have orders in from everyone. Here's the play:

Destiny: 2 cards
Starbuck: no cards
Tigh: 1 card
Apollo: 1 card
Chief: 2 cards
Zarek: 4 cards
Helo: 1 card

Cards:

Green 1
Green 1
Green 2
Green 2
Green 4
Purple 2
Purple 3
Yellow 1
Yellow 3
Red 2
Blue 5

Tally: 15 - 11 = 4. A result almost exactly the same as the check against Apollo, and with the same result - Chief Tyrol, the Press certainly have something to report on as you are arrested before their very eyes.

Helo (in common with two thirds of the crew) is in the Brig, so he gets no Crisis Card. Starbuck, your turn is up next. Please post whether you wish to draw Blue or Green this turn, and when you're ready, your move and action.

Starbuck, if you can XO me I can use my first XO to break out which automatically moves me and then still have another action. Honestly, if people have XOs they are the best bang for the buck when time is really tight.

I don't have an XO, and I was planning on drawing a blue to get us a repair card. Should I draw a green instead?

BSG

Hmm. Honestly, it's a crap shoot either way. I can't say which is the better option. Obviously having some birds ready to go is a good idea. Probably more useful than Galactica taking a potshot at one raider frankly.

I'd say blue is better than green; blue is harder to get, get blue when we can. I get green automatically, so when I'm not busy stuffing toasters into boxes and then throwing the boxes into lakes, I can get XOs pretty often.

Wait.

What do you think, guys? Repair vipers or go shoot at raiders?

I'm kind of thinking shoot at raiders.
