I like to think of the loss of Food and Morale on the one hand, or Fuel and Population on the other, represents the Admiral deciding whether to acquiesce to popular demand and resort to cannibalism. (You need the fuel to fire up the barbecues - you're not savages, dammit!)
The rest of the card's pretty dull. No cylon ships to activate, no jump prep. Apollo, I'm sending your cards. When you're ready, please post your move and action. (My Internet connection is still fritzed, so I don't know when I'll get to post the summary.)

Administrative notes: Apollo chose to draw 2 Yellow cards. His card draw has exhausted the Piloting deck; I've reshuffled the discards.

The fleet needs fuel badly. Best to see what's out there.
Action: I play a P1 to launch a scout on the Destination deck.
BSG
Anyone want to play a Strategic Planning?
BSG
I have passes on SP interrupts.
Die roll:
5. Success. The top card of the Destination deck is being sent to Apollo. Apollo, please post whether you want to put the card on the top or the bottom.
BSG
Apollo has sent the Destination card to the bottom of the deck. As he is in the Brig, this concludes his turn. Chief Tyrol, your turn is beginning. Please post which two cards you would like to draw.

I went ahead and pre-ordered the new Bioware game Dragon Age. It's a gift certificate, so what the heck. I imagine it will last me for over a year due to lack of time to play it. I find myself wanting to get Mass Effect because it's only $20, but I keep reminding myself, "When are you going to play it?" The same argument applies to Sins of a Solar Empire.
Sorry for the game delay, I have a doctor's appointment. I'll catch up after.
