I'll try to get his rear in gear, he was at all the festivities over the weekend and was working for me yesterday, so he's around, just clearly not checking in here.
I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

Ok, I don't think we can wait any longer, and it's not a big check anyway. I'm going to pass on behalf of President Zarek. I have COs from Adama and Boomer:
Destiny:
2 cards
Apollo:
2 cards
Helo:
1 card
Zarek:
no cards
Adama:
1 card
Boomer:
2 cards
Results:
Green 1
Green 2
Green 3
Purple 1
Purple 1
Purple 1
Purple 3
Blue 1
Tally: 12 - 1 = 11. Pass - no effect.
Next, the heavy raiders activate. You now have two heavy raiders in Sector 5; one more activation will see them board Galactica.
Finally, the jump prep track advances by 1. This concludes Boomer's turn. Captain Apollo has opted to draw 2 Green as part of his card draw. Apollo, I'm sending you your card draw. When you're ready, please post your move and action.

Administrative note: the last skill check exhausted the Destiny Deck. I've created a new one. Creating a new Destiny Deck exhausted the Piloting deck; I've reshuffled the discards.
Edit: Boomer is as usual exercising her Recon special ability, so I have sent her the top card of the Crisis Deck.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I'm going to bury that sucker and suggest we think about jumping now at the risk of losing some population. I can help with the die roll.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
I'm hesitant to kill folks. But we are doing ok population wise. I was thinking xo adama to nuke or helo to get out of sickbay and head to weapons. What thinks the group?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

What's the risk of losing population if we jump now, BT?

A die roll of 6 or less means you lose 3 Population; so the chance is 75%, or 50% with an SP.

Hi guys, I've had an email from Sean. He has to drop out of the game. I'm looking for a replacement player who'd be willing to play President Zarek from here. Would anyone who's been following the game like to give it a go? Alternatively, do any of the players know someone who'd like to join in?

That seems way too big of a risk to me. A coin flip for 25% of our population? No thanks.
I vote for XOing Adama to nuke the basestar in Sector 3.
