omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Do we want me to scout destination? Or are we not close enough to jump that it would be worth while?

Not worth it at the moment. We're only one along on the Jump track and toaster-boy is playing spoiler to the deck. You look at a destination and decide to keep it on there, he's going to nuke it on his next go.

XO me, you'll see why.

MOVE command

ACTION I play Green 2 to XO Tigh to work his magic. Have at it Mr President.

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

President Tigh, you've received an XO. You may either move and take an action, or not move and take two actions. When you're ready, please post your orders.

First action: Activate the President's Office and take a Quorum card.

I'll wait to see what it is but I feel confidant that I'll be playing one of my current cards.

Continuation of first action: I play Mission Specialist on Helo.

Congratulations, Helo, your long hours frakkin' a toaster in deep-space has given you a deep knowledge of scouting. Sure, I can believe that. Right.

I draw 2 Politics cards and Helo, the next time we jump you choose the destination. Better yet, you get 3 cards to choose from rather than 2.

BSG

I've sent President Tigh his two Politics cards (administrative note: Mr Zarek's card draw had exhausted the Politics deck. I've reshuffled the discards) and a new Quorum card. He may now either draw another Quorum card or play one.

That concludes Tigh's XO. Next we have Helo's crisis card:

Missing G4 Explosives
Skill Check 7 GP

We will pause for Investigative Committee and/or Scientific Research interrupts.

Well, I think it's worth trying to pass this one.

Damn no jump check again.

P.S. Y'know, Morale is comically high.
