Brief commercial break:
For folks who remember Infocom, or more recent fans of IF, Get Lamp is a fun documentary about text adventures. [link]
I've been watching it in pieces all week. The DVD is a bit spendy, but the movie is about 2 hours, and there's a second disk with at least another hour of footage that didn't make the final cut, and extras, and several dozen recent IF games. And a shiny coin! It's clearly a labor of love and well worth the price if you liked those games.
One of the most interesting sequences to me is about how blind people loved those games, since they were accessible in a way traditional video games weren't -- although the whole "it's too dark to see" thing was a bit weird for blind players.

Sorry my CO's weren't clear enough. I pass.

I guess the President didn't want to make a political statement, buy piling on or spiking the check. Who knew.
Fuel increases by one.
Raiders 3 & 4 move to sector 3.
Jump track advances to 3 (Blue -3), so if you want to jump, you can, at a cost to population.

While dealing cards to Helo, we ran out of Tactic cards (Purple). So that deck has been reshuffled.
BSG
Priority should probably be getting those Civvies into Sector 5 where Apollo can cover them. We're two raider activations from losing the ship in Sector 4.
I'd suggest XOing Boomer to do it so she gets out of Sickbay before the start of her turn.
BSG
I was thinking that that was what I wanted to do anyway. So I will
play a G1
to
XO Boomer
with a request that she move to communications.
I choose not to move
and remain in the Press Room.

Ok! I like Helo's plan. He's the man with the plan, right there.
Move to Communications
Action: Check out ships B and D
"Hey guys, what's up? Oh, this is Lieutenant Valerii. Yes, that's right, the one from the news. This is better though, isn't it? I mean, you don't have the press messing with what you say. They always wanted soundbites, you know? 'Um... could you put that into a soundbite?', that's what they were always asking me. Now we can really
talk,
you know? So... How's things? ...Cylons? Oh yes, they're flying around out there somewhere. I wouldn't worry too much about it, they never seem to hit anything. You'd think we were in the original series, wouldn't you?"
"Hey, listen, could you guys do me a favour? Could you send me over the ship's manifests, you know, the people and the stuff you have on board? Oh, we're having a scavenger hunt over here. We've got to find things, like a writing pad without the corners cut off or Admiral Tigh's missing wife, that kind of thing. I'm a bit behind, I spent some time in the Brig (long story), so all I have so far is a shiv. Oh, and a Cylon (giggle). Don't worry, she's harmless. Friendly, even. That one's worth almost as many points as Ellen Tigh. Oh! Imagine if Ellen Tigh
was
a Cylon! You could win the whole game with just her!"
"Anyway, if you could help me out here I'd really appreciate it. Send over the lists, and if you have anything good, I'll get you to move up near the launch bays and pop over and get it."
BSG
Ok, let's check out these manifests. There's a "My colony was attacked by the Cylons, and all I got was this lousy t-shirt" t-shirt, an Aerelon pot-belly pig - who travels with one pig? - a Caprica Buccaneers jersey, with Caprica Buccaneer still attached...
Ooh, sweet. One of those ships has a genuine original recording of "Mr Roboto", with actual robots! That's going to be worth a few points.
Move both ships into Sector 5.
