You know, if you don't spend any cards before your turn, you could well wind up having to discard to get back to 10. Thanks to your weakness, you discard randomly, so it'd be a good idea for you to find an opportunity to offload a couple of cheap ones.
Anyway. There's two points left to go. What do you think, Helo? Shall I get this one or would you like to finish it off? I'm good either way.
Either way is fine by me. So, feel free to seal the deal.

I'll be drawing again before you, so let's do this. I play a Red-2.
Looking ahead, we're getting close to jumping. It'd be good to have a chance to scout Destinations first, especially now we have the military situation in hand. If either the Admiral or the Chief can give me an XO, I would be able to scout both the Crisis and Destination decks in the one turn.
BSG
I also would be available for either scouting, drawing yellow, or a little of both.

Sorry about that I inevitably forget about the discard rules.

I have CO's for the rest of the crew. Nothing too space-shaking.

Congratulations! Y'all pass! Let's look at the card, and see what you've won. "No Effect"!! Again. Wow. All those cards to win another no effect. don't y'all have enough of those? Eh.
Let's see what else the card wants you to do. Oh yes, activate the raiders. They both move to sector 4.
Aaand that's it. Sorry, no jump track. But hey, nothing gets added to the board. So that's good, right?
Post turn recap on it's way, and then I'll draw the cards for the Admiral, and e-mail him.

What's the most food we could lose in one turn? Is it worth it to spend a turn attempting to add 1 to food?
I can talk to the quorum about food rationing but there's only a 63% chance of getting help from them.
I think the most important thing we could do now is scout, no? We need to move towards jumping if we can.

I think that sounds like the best course. At this point in the jump prep, it would be worthwhile both scouting the Crisis Deck, for jump icons, and the Destination Deck to fix a good jump.

Food Shortages can lose 2 Food, but they're President's Choice, so that's under your control. There's also Water Sabotaged which can lose 2 Food, but that involves both a player choice and failing a skill check.
