Are there definitely two toasters or could we just have one? I noticed that at most, one player spiked that check.
Every player now has at least two Loyalty cards. There's roughly a 1 in 9 chance (a bit higher with Boomer in the game - 7 in 55, to be precise) that both Cylon cards were dealt to the same player. (After revealing, a Cylon may pass off their unrevealed Loyalty cards by activating the Resurrection Ship, as long as the Fleet hasn't reached 7 Distance yet. If one player has both cards, they could effectively choose who else is on their team.)
Everybody draws purple so at this point the cylon could still be anybody.

Yikes. I guess I shouldn't have bothered tossing one of my two remaining cards into that check.
As for springing Boomer, on one hand she's got the biggest chance of being a Cylon and spending cards to get her out on the off chance she's not seems really risky, barring more information.
On the other hand, anyone else trying to repair the ship is going to take twice as long, as they're going to have to spend turns to draw blue cards in addition to spending turns to repair the locations.
Though in addition to the Science Lab, Zarek or Apollo could spend a card on Consolodate Power and draw 2 blue. But that still takes a turn.
So wait, what are our options for getting blue cards? Is this something I can do on my turn? Or is it something I can XO someone on?
BSG
Don't bother XOing me yet, let's see what cards I get on my next turn. Right now if I initiated a Debrigging, I couldn't help at all.

Basically you have these options:
1. Boomer draws Blue as part of her skill set.
2. Any player may move to the Research Lab and spend an action to draw one Blue card.
3. Players who draw Politics can spend an action to play a Consolidate Power to draw 2 Blue cards (or 1 Blue and 1 card of another colour). Players who don't draw Politics can get 2 Politics by moving to the Press Room and spending an action.
4. I think there's a Quorum card or two that give the President the opion of drawing a card of any colour he wants.
5. Adama's OPG lets him grab whatever cards were played into a check (though that's no longer an option).
I think that's about it. There are options there that you can do, and options that you can XO others to do. One last note: the Research Lab can never be damaged by Cylon attack; thus, there's always at least one avenue open to repair damage to Galactica.

So it looks like I have the option of moving to the Research Lab and drawing a blue card. That would complete my turn, correct? Then it would take an XO from someone else for me to actually do some repairs.
BSG
I believe so.
FWIW, I was hoping to consolidate powers to get some blue cards. Whether XO'd or not.
BSG
I'm moving to the Research Lab and drawing a blue card.
