Jump Track:
Advances! Woot, that leads to an autojump (thank the Gods! Finally clear the deck of all those.... oh wait. Wow. We went a whole jump cycle with no bogeys? How'd that happen? I gotta stack the deck better, dang it!)
I will send the top two destination deck cards to our Admiral.

Hi, I am back from my retreat, and Tigh has returned from his bender. Thanks all for being able to work with me via email, I really appreciate that.
And I bring some good news...
That, by popular demand, we have moved distance 3!
And some bad news...
That we achieved this distance by plowing through an asteroid field. We will lose 2 fuel and a civilian as one of our pilots fails to lead them through the asteroids. Tigh's going to have to have some harsh words with the CAG about this....
Anyway, I will leave it to our illustrious GM to draw and share what we lost along with the civvie ship.
I think this also pushes us to sleeper phase so I imagine the GM will also be sending us extra special mail. If yours opens up and automatically starts playing "All Along the Watchtower," beware...
BSG
As usual, the Admiral is a bit hung over, so he's only partially correct. That civilian ship? Yup, it must have been the vacation cruise liner. Tons of "passengers" on board, bitching about a thimble of water per day. That puppy FTL'd right into the path of a HUGE asteroid, and blew it to smithereens! As a result, you lose a ship, and
-2 population resource
in addition to the
-2 fuel resource
. But hey, the skies are clear. Oh wait, yes, the sleeper phase. You will notice one of your brethern is in the pokie. She was a bad camper! Ok, so her card says she goes there automatically. Here is the end of turn wrap up, then I gotta jet to work.

Huh, I wonder if anyone can hear some tap tap tapping. Or music.
BSG
Doesn't the Sympathizer automatically end up in the Brig as well, since we've hit the Sleeper phase with a Resource in the red? Or am I not remembering how the Sympathizer works?
All in all, I think we're in really good shape. Food is worrisome, especially since the food related Crisises all seem to be "Lose 2 food or Lose 1 food and have something else crappy happen." But all our other resources are in really good shape for the halfway point, I think.
