BSG
Well played, Madame President. I think we've got this one in the bag.
BSG
Hope so. Mr. Gaeta, I think getting those Civvies to safety on your turn is probably a good idea, if you can make that happen.
BSG
That makes the tally 17 + Destiny. As long as Destiny is no worse than -8, you're ok. Well, looks like you've managed to suppress the fairy tale furries, but what of the rumours of plushie-themed nursery rhymes? Will your work be enough?
Destiny reveals: XO-1, IC-3
Destiny is with you! Final tally: 21. Pass, for no effect.
Next, raiders activate. The civvies are now in mortal danger! Finally, the jump track advances by 1. That ends Roslin's turn. Gaeta is up next.

BSG
I have COs from Gaeta:
Move to the Engine Room on Pegasus
Play XO-2 on Dee
As Gaeta has moved from Galactica to Pegasus, he needs to discard one card. Gaeta, when you're ready, please post your discard.
Meanwhile, Dee, you have received an XO. You may either move and take one action, or not move and take two actions. When you're ready, please post your orders.
BSG
I discarded a Repair-1 (blue) to move to Pegasus.
Dee, I agree with Madame President, could you take a gander at those civvies and move them away from danger?
BSG
2. You may now risk Population to jump early if you so wish.
What happens if they jump before I get on Galactica ? Am I stranded on Caprica FOREVER? Apollo's really angry about the arrow-grabbing thing, so I am itching to get off this rock.
(I chose Helo because I thought his Weakness wasn't so bad. But it's actually really annoying feeling so helpless! I could be out in space shooting things. Wait, can I pilot a Viper even though I'm not officially a Pilot? I assume so since I can draw Piloting.)
BSG
I'm pretty sure if we jump before you catch up you catch a ride on our wake and surf in on your next turn anyway.
I have a reroll if we want to go for the jump. Anybody got a SP?

Hey, you're the Admiral, it's your choice where they wind up next. I'm confident you'll find them.
(I chose Helo because I thought his Weakness wasn't so bad. But it's actually really annoying feeling so helpless!
Helo has an odd weakness. It's pretty debilitating, but unlike most other crew members' weaknesses, it has a time limit. Once you get back to Galactica you're weakness-free. (Unless you get executed and have to choose another character.)
One consequence of Helo's weakness is that he's far more popular as first pick than last. In the Pegasus gamees on boardgamegeek, he's equal first in popularity as the first pick (with Baltar and Caprica Six); however, over all the later picks, he's comfortably the least popular choice.
I could be out in space shooting things. Wait, can I pilot a Viper even though I'm not officially a Pilot? I assume so since I can draw Piloting.)
You can indeed pilot a viper. You draw less Piloting than the dedicated pilots, so you're maybe not quite as effective, but rules-wise there's no impediment.
