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?
Don't you have an elsewhere to be?

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

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.

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

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.

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

I believe so.
FWIW, I was hoping to consolidate powers to get some blue cards. Whether XO'd or not.

Good point. I've edited the summary to put you in the correct location.

I'm moving to the Research Lab and drawing a blue card.
By the power vested in me as GM, I decree that the Admiral moves to the Research Lab doing the lambada - the forbidden dance.
I'm sending you your Blue skill card, Admiral. Which means it's time for a crisis:
Prisoner Revolt
Skill Check (11 YGP)
Interrupts: Investigative Committee and/or Scientific Research. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Boomer will play first, Adama last.

I can help with this skill check.
