Oh crap, right. I'm the GM. Can't just watch. I gotta take care of business.
As Boomer mentioned, FTL is out of business. Food took a ding. Tigh is in sickbay (maybe sobering up a bit?).
And I thought it meant of end of turn recap. Alas. This isn't Boomers turn, it's sickboy Admiral! So we get to play a crisis card. Oh wait, Boomer said she'd scout that puppy out... huh... I think she used all her actions already. Should we let her scout it anyway? OK, maybe not. Let's see what the Gods of Kobol have in mind for you!
Low Supplies

Details to be e-mailed.
Good news, you have half as many folks trying to spike the check! Sweet, huh?

Raider activation! I love it when a plan comes together.
hush you! don't be a gloating toaster.
We shall call it "gloaster".
No gloating, it was just a 50/50 call whether moving those ships was going to work. Excited it paid off.
Well, at least we know one of the people who heard all along the watch tower.
Sorry space ghosts. I can't reign him in, and I can't airlock him. I think the only way to get him to stuff a sock in it, is for the humans to win. GooooooOOOOO HuMANS! :: pom pom shake ::
BSG
frak frak frak! Why didn't I listen to my instincts instead of going with the crowd?
I can help a little with the check; I pass on interrupts.

Yeah, that's right. We Cylons get all the best music. [link]

This truly sucks. Who knew Tigh's stash counted against our Food supplies?
It's a tossup what's on ship D, but since Boomer felt it necessary to move B again after previoiusly taking a look at it, chances are real good losing it is going to hurt.
I've got an IC I can throw into the mix, and I can help with the check, but the question is, do we want to take a shot at passing this, or do we want to take a -2 to morale and save our cards for the next crisis?
My turn is coming up and my hand max is 8, so I need to spend cards either this round or next to avoid discarding.
BSG
At least that's one flushed out.
I believe it's Chief's turn next, so provided he's not the other toaster (and I've seen no evidence that he is), he can get FTL repaired stat.
I can only help a very little with the check. However, there's a lot of yellow and green in this group as a whole so we should be able to make this with little problem.
If someone has an IC to spare, that would be good. Not if it would be better used in the check (if someone DOES spike it, it narrows down who it might be and might actually be more revelatory than an IC, but I'm not sure if that's worth the risk to morale loss). ETA: Kalshane, saving cards for future crises isn't a horrible idea but I'd rather not take such a big hit to morale.

Let me get this straight, we can't do anything to save those ships, right? So, we will lose
up to
4 population, 3 population and 1 morale/fuel, or 2 population and 1 morale and 1 fuel. But no more food, right?
So, we are just deciding whether to keep cards and intentially fail the check, losing two morale, or whether to try to pass the check. Is this right?
Note: I can call an IC, but I'm not sure whether it is better for me or Chief to do that. If I do, I can only help a little with this check.
I think at this point the humans need to be XOing as much as possible, so I worry about having to spend green on this check.
