Good choice. Oh, it might not be a bad idea to send omnis some COs for your turn. (Main variables I see: whether or not you draw an XO, and whether or not we jump on my Crisis. Also if I leave a card on top with my Recon.)
As always, if you give me an XO, I can go plumbing for more ICs. Unless we've jumped 3 Distance and I'm in the Brig, in which case I'm probably not such a good choice.
BSG
I doubt I'll be able to think through all the alternatives enough to send COs in the next ten minutes but I'll be back on line tomorrow at this time.
BSG
Just waiting on our fearless Admiral if he wants to interrupt. CO's form everyone else. Obviously pass, or we'd be moving along.
BSG
I will pass on interrupts.
And with THAT: as an FYI I am going on vacation tomorrow through Sunday. I will probably have limited Internet access. I will check my email, so the best thing to do is contact me via email for any decisions that need to be made -- for example, I think we are jumping soon and I will have to pick the distance, so I will resolve that with omnis via email (hopefully).
DQ, thanks for the heads up. Will keep that in mind as we move forward.
BSG
OK, we are ready to scout now. With no SP cards played, we need a 3 or higher for Boomer to scout the top card of the Crisis deck. Random die roll gives us a
7!
So, Boomer gets to scout the top crisis card. I will e-mail that top secret info to her now.

Look at that, I've got mail! That's how you know you're popular, and being popular is SOOOOO important, am I right? I've been working on my Facebook page, and I've sent Friend requests to all the Quorum. I'm sure this has to be from one of them. Let's see...
Um. It's just... It's just spam. Why would they send this to me? I don't even have a bank account anymore. All I have is this Facebook account, for what that's worth. Not even the Chief's friended me.
Send it to the recycle bin bottom.
Oh, wait! I do have a friend request! ...Huh, that's weird. It looks like it's from the Admiral's address, but it says that "The Brig" wants to be friends. Why would I get mail from the Brig?

Crisis Card Round 3.1
Build Cylon Detector
Admiral Choice
Details sent via e-mail.
BSG
For those following along at home, the Admiral has chosen to discard a nuke in order to save morale and skill cards. I guess our brand new cylon detector has a nuclear core.
Wait, I thought it was the opposite? The admiral is discarding cards to keep the nuke.
