I'm for scouting. If 3 distance brings on cylon onslaught I'm for 2 also. But if the top card is three distance I'd rather take it than discard and risk the next top card being a 1.

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

Oh yes, I agree with that. I'm just saying that a two might actually be preferable. But I'd only bury a 1 at this point.

I tend to have terrible luck with drawing distance cards, you want to try to make that better in any way, please be my guest.

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

I'm in favour of scouting. If President Zarek can do it (do you have any Launch Scouts, Mr President?), then I suggest an XO to him - he could use the second action either to scout again (if possible) or to work the President's Office for more Quorum cards.
I would still pick a 3-Distance over a 2-Distance, even though it means I'd be in the Brig from next jump. We have the Sympathiser sorted, so no need to slow down on that account. If we take a 2-Distance jump, we'll quite likely still need another four jumps to reach the end; with a 3-Distance jump, we'll be more likely to need only three more jumps. Outside chance, with another 3-Distance and Legendary Discovery, that we'd only need two.

An XO to the Ex-Con, er, President seems to be prudent. What do you say Mr. Zarek, do you have Launch Scouts?

(Mr President, if you do have an LS, may I also suggest you also put in COs for if Apollo gives you an XO? (If one of your actions is launching a scout, don't forget to include whether you play an SP in your CO.)

I also have a LS.
ETA: But I assume it's better for me to keep it for my turn.

Cool. Do you have a good option on a second action? I think you're on the Hangar Deck right now, you could launch yourself into space if nothing else. (Though since we're one icon away from jumping, you'd probably be grounded again pretty smartly.)

Well, I could then XO someone else, no?
Or is that like wishing for more wishes?

Sadly, it is pretty much like that. The text on the card specifies that only one XO may be played per turn.
