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

Hooray, battle sequence!
Cue dramatic music! Sweeping camera shots! Close-up-grim-resolve-face! Time for action!
Die roll = 7. Hit.
Phew! I may need to lie down after that. Hey, has anyone noticed that the Admiral's still missing? There was that Rescue Mission being proposed before, but it didn't really lead anywhere and people were very sad. Maybe the President wants to:
Rescue Caprica Survivors

Madam President, when you're ready please post your choice.

My door is always open. Especially when I am on Colonial One and you are all elsewhere. But I digress. Anyone have thoughts on this mission?

While we're at it, this card activates raiders, which means one of the RSVs in Sector 5 is going to get fired on. Starbuck and Helo, you can send me COs for Evasive Maneouvres.

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.

While 2 resources for one is a bad deal, we've also been taking a lot of hits to the morale and we've managed to 1 distance without spending any fuel, so I'm kind of leaning towards option 1. But neither choice really strikes me as a "Choose monkey" sort of thing.

Yeah, I can think my way to Option 1 being more sensible, but my gut says Option 2. So I think I'll go with my gut this time and choose Option 2.
We are still very sad to be missing our Admiral, after all.

It's understandable, the targetting systems don't really work at that range, and he has a whole planet to hide on.
Morale drops again. That's 2 Morale you've lost so far over one Admiral. Frankly he's turning out to be a bit of aliability. Fortunately, I can provide you with a distraction, as the remaining raider in Sector 5 opens fire on an RSV:
Die roll = 6. Viper damaged! I have COs from Helo and Starbuck to pass on interrupts. The result stands.
The other raiders move up the queue, and more raiders emerge from both basestars. Finally, the jump track advances again. That concludes Starbuck's turn. I'm sending Dee's cards out. Dee, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

No, Dee draws Blue as well, and Starbuck has the option to do so.
