We need someone in Communications STAT! We need to start doing the dance of the civilians. Can we hit the FTL? What's the consequences?

Sure, I can hit the FTL. I just need another basestar activation and a bit of luck. The consequences are less hilarious now you've moved to the Hangar Deck, though. Maybe I should hit that instead.
Ha! Silly, trigger happy GM. By hit, I mean ACTIVATE.

No, it won't activate the thing. Just make it go boom.
Bloody Hell. (what? I'm watching Torchwood. They talk like that)

We're at risk of losing 1 pop on a roll of 6 or less at the moment.
If someone's got an SP, jumping may be the way to go right now. We'd have a 50% chance of losing 1 population but we wouldn't have to risk taking any more fire from that basestar and losing FTL Control again.
BSG
I feel like we risk just as much population by staying as we do by jumping early.

Guys, I can talk the Quorum of 12 into authorizing some assistance that could be very helpful right now--but we will still be in this sector with the billion Cylons--or I could spend a card and get to FTL.
Any preferences/suggestions?
PS: I finally got more BSG to borrow from friends (I'd stopped halfway through Season 3 before)... and the 1st episode I started watching I believe was the inspiration for our last crisis. Pretty cool, in a "Crap, I know a little how they feel," kind of way.
What kind of help can the Quorum provide?
