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

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

You call it being cute, I call it tactics. If I'd played it into the check, you would have either been able to beat it, or else held back your cards and it would have been wasted.
There's a chance between the two of you could have the cards to beat the +2 from Declare Emergency, but not the point value of the card, but I figured it was unlikely.
Plus, there was a chance you weren't going to be such a smarty-pants and realize I had it, and I could have got you two toasters to spend cards and Team Human still be able to win the check.

Plus, I'd say now it's likely they don't have the higher cards, since I think there would have been more debate about it. I mean, it would have been worth it to take the chance if it meant us losing that much.

SUPER!PASS
An interesting turn. Lot's of cards there, but a successful pass for Team Humans. Good communications there folks, on both sides of the table. Makes this GM smile :: wipes crocodile tear from eye ::
Let's see, what do we win with that Super!Pass... "No Effect". Wow, I think y'all are going for the whole matched set on that one. It's an interesting collectible, but hey, everyone has their hobbies, right?
There is no activation, jump track, or adding birds to the airspace. So, that should wrap up this round.

Team Human: Don't forget about that civilian ship floating around there. Of course, y'all discussed FTL, so if you go for the early jump, that would clear that problem. But that would have a high probability of population loss.
I'll advance the turn and forward the new cards to Zarek.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Do I understand correctly that the civvie ship is not in danger for at least one more turn? And that if we survive one more crisis with a jump icon we will auto jump?

I'm going to send a "friend" of mine over to sick bay with some special get-better-juice for our Admiral. Wake up, sir!
I play a G2 to xo Tigh.

The civvie ship is TWO activations away. One to get the raiders into the sector, one to attack them. If you get a jump track card for your next crisis card, it will auto jump you.
However, we have no clue what the next crisis card will put out there. Crisis cards can add things to the field that could change that. (Well, by "we" I mean y'all. I can cheat and look at batters circle and see what's on deck.)

Yes.
Actually I was going to suggest that FTL was one of the least interesting options. Personally, if Zarek gets an XO I would suggest that Tigh move to Communications to see what is on that ship and move it one more square away from the raiders. (I'm unclear on whether the basestars move on activation--the rules don't say, so I assume no).
Other options would be moving to Command and launching vipers, or moving to the Lab and pulling a Tactics card.
ETA: And he did. Awesomecakes. Prez, what do you think about moving/action options for Tigh?
