FAIL
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.

Loss of two pop sucks but we can deal with this.
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.
BSG
Now this is getting interesting. Thanks for the CO. For my first action I will
Draw a Quorum Card
and play
Arrest Order.
Pretty tricky considering Apollo is in a viper at the moment but I'm certain the trigger-happy goons I sent will be able to secure that bucket of bolts behind bars without roughing him up too much. It's not like these skinjobs have feelings.
For my second action I will wait to see if I got an extra nifty quorum card but I'm leaning towards scouting the crisis deck.
BSG
Good response by Team Human. We'll happily take the Chief's OPG, but the alternatives would've been even better for us, so that was some nice play.
Apollo, for your card draw on your turn, a couple of observations: Yellow is negative for every Super Crisis skill check. It's also a little more often negative for skill checks on Crisis Cards.
Yippee, I got off early. And by that, I left work at 21:30 instead of 23:00!
BSG
Action! Finally! Things are far more fun now that these toasters are outed.
OK, FTL has been repaired. Judging from how fast Chief fixed it, it must have been a concussion from the attack that knocked a wire loose or something. Either way, it's cleared! Now you only have Admiral's Quarters still on the blink.
President has been dealt a new Quorum Card. Then played a Brig order on Apollo. They Space Marines sent out a remote kill switch on that viper, and towed it in. And the CAG is now a Con!
Huh, with one Cylon outed and voted (self) off the island, and the other (suspected) Cylon in jail, maybe there isn't much need to repair that Admiral's Quarters. But I leave that up to you brave, intelligent humans.
Mr. President, e-mail is insent, awaiting your 2nd action.
Sunday I'll be working similiar shift. Till about 9:30 or so.
Non-BSG
Love my student crew on this show. I say "shiny" and one asks if I'm a Firefly fan. I respond yes, and the other immediatly asks if I ever played the RPG. Ayup! Then later we are talking about toasters that burn a logo in the bread. I mention I've seen one for BSG cyclon head. Then he asks if I've ever played the BSG board game. Not bad for college kids. See, there is hope in the next generation!
BSG
With the cylons having two turns in a row, should we be worried they could target food twice and kill us all in the next two turns?

Yes. It should leave your palms sweaty. It should make your blood run cold. It should keep you awake at night. It should haunt your dreams, the dreams you're not having because it's keeping you awake at night.
Here's a piece of trivia. There are two 'o's in both Boomer and Apollo, and also in Food. ooOOoo.

it's a conspiracy! And my spaghettiOs are in on it!
I'm just waiting for clarification from the very busy o_a before I post my second action.
