If you XO me I'll walk down to the brig on my very own. Promise.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Isn't that generous of him? And now, a word of advice: Don't just tell women what they want to hear. Type it in all caps.

Since our running total is now 8 out of 7 and we are already passing, I play no cards into this check.

if I draw an XO, I'll repair FTL and XO Zarek. If I don't, I'll repair the AQ and try to brig Apollo.

This makes sense to me.

WAIT! With Chief's once per game ability, he negates all red, so the new total is 8 out of 7. Supreme PASS.

But WAIT! We still need to hear from Tigh! Maybe he's hearing Jimi Hendrix.

Admiral?

Jumping up and down, playing air guitar. "'Scuse me, while I kiss the sky!"

He is, but fortunately, it's not a famous Bob Dylan song made even more famous by Jimi.

(Oh, come on, what ELSE would he listen to other than "Purple Haze"?)

I play no cards.

"Chief, your plans of action sound good to me. And thanks for making sure that frakker Apollo didn't do any real damage with that Viper out there. Proceed at your discretion."

Sorry. I'm in crazy period right now, 2 shows about to load in, and minimal student help, since school doesn't start for another week n a half. I hope to have end turn wrap up, with civvie explosions, and chief card draw late tonight board time.

Chief OPG changes Reds to ZERO.
New Total: 8 out of 7. Super Pass! (not to be confused with Multi-Pass).

With that pass, you win "No Effect"! Woot.
Raiders get to activate. Which means we destroy those two civilian ships in Sector 4. Each of those ships have a -1 Population tied to them. That brings Population down to 7, just barely not in the red. We have a cylon outed. Another not officially outed, but still able to be a danger. What an interesting round!

That was a heck of a round! Worthy of the name Admiral Tigh.

Loss of two pop sucks but we can deal with this.

Looking forward to the Chief's round.

Note, that likely means there is nothing on the remaining civvie, or, at most, one population.

Okay. Got some good cards here. Let's take care of the mess those Toasters have given us.

Move to FTL Control

Play B1 Repair

Happy to report the FTL is back online, Admiral. We can jump on your command, though I don't know that all the civilian ships have the coordinates yet.

Mr. President, I hear the Quorum wants to have words with our traitorous CAG. Now sounds like a great time to take care of it.

For my bonus action from using a repair card, I Play G2 XO on Zarek

(Since the President's Office lets you draw a quorum card and then play one or immediately draw another, I recommend drawing a card first before playing the one to brig Apollo. Then activate the room again for your second XO action. Not sure if you've got anything that can help out our situation, but now's probably a good time to play it if you do.)

ETA: Scouting the crisis deck with the second action wouldn't be a bad idea either, if you've got a Scout and there's nothing super useful in the way of Quorum cards.
