Another suggestion. With this Crisis Card, Food is dropping into the Red. That pretty much means we're ready to hit the Sleeper Phase, and we'll be one icon away from jumping. If someone (other than the Admiral, of course) is able to order a scouting mission or two, this would be a great time to start running through the Destination Deck looking for a 3 Distance option.
Unfortunately, I can't do any scouting. Mr Zarek, do you have any capability here?
Edit: apologies, President Zarek.

You know, Chief, if you'd wanted us to have more Yellow, an XO to me would've allowed us to draw twice as many new cards.
Sorry, forgot about the two actions, so two draws part. But really, that Y1 wasn't going to be useful for much of anything anyway.
And hey, the extra card in my hand helps out for the Food Shortage if we decide to go the discard route.
While I hate to lose more cards, I don't really want to take too much of a hit to Food. While Zarek could conceivably gets us back one Food in an emergency, I doubt he'd be so inclined if he's a toaster (not that I'm suggesting he is). I don't want to rely on any plan that requires a specific person not to be a Cylon.
I can take a 3 card hit without it being too expensive, so I vote we lose 1 Food and cards.

Attention citizens! Thanks to timely intervention by myself and the chief, the hole in the cattle transport ship has been patched and we were able to save half the beef.
I choose option one and discard two Yellow 1.
Heeeeeeh.... I still need to play the first Portal.
BSG
The first time I've seen a hull-breach patched by 86 pairs of prisoners' boxer shorts and Cally Henderson's bubble gum, but whatever works, works!
I got frustrated by the first Portal. I had a hard time controlling the avatar with the keyboard and mouse and we couldn't figure out how to make it work with a controller.
STARCRAFT 2 COMES OUT AT MIDNIGHT TONIGHT.
Ahem...
BSG
FTR, my discards are G1, G1, Y2.

Excellent! So that brings an end to the drama. For this round!!! No activation. And we advance the jump track! Woot.
