I'm good with any of the options listed above. When we get closer to jumping, we'll want to scout the destination deck (and keep any card that gives us at least 1 distance for 1 fuel or less.)

I kind of like the launch and scout plan, since it gets us someone in the air in case of attack, and also with the Cylons coming up next, potentially burying a major crisis would be good.

Which sector do you wish to launch in? Sector 5 or Sector 6?

We have a pass on interrupts (fastest EVER! thank you CO's!)

We need a roll of 3 or higher for success. Random die roll gives us a roll of: 1 ! Yikes. Sorry charlie. Seems y'all haven't launched enough raptors, and with Boomer in the land of appliances, you send a RSV pilot up instead. Poor bugger didn't realize he was in a Red tunic, and crashed & burned. Lucky for team human, he didn't damage anything else.

Despite the destroyed raptor, it was a good turn! Good team work Humans. Excellent use of bonus actions. We have half the damaged areas repaired!

Now onto the Crisis Card. Yikes. I really wish that Die roll was in your favor.

FOOD SHORTAGE
President's Choice between two bad options.

Details to be e-mailed shortly.

(and yes, you have had this type of card three times before. And for those who know, there are FOUR of these cards in the deck. So this should be the last time you see this card, unless we make it all the way through all the crisis cards and need to reshuffle. Which I really can't imagine happening.)

ETA: fixed error on options. No skill check option on this card.

This is not remotely funny anymore. (Not that it was even a little bit funny to begin with.)

This is going to be an incredibly painful discard, but I can't see us risking losing 2 food. Even if this is the last Food Shortage, there's still probably some other Water Shortages out there, right?

What else is left that could hit food?

ugh, yeah #2 seems like the only choice to me. What do the rest of us humans think?

GM note. If option 2 is the final option, Mr. President, please post the cards you are tossing. Chief, once that is done, please post which cards you would like to toss.
