Answers to some rules issues:
At least the jump track advances?
Correct. This Crisis has a jump icon.
edit- so on the off chance the damage hits in the same area twice, we lose? What happens if we go for Pegasus and she gets blown up with me on her?
Second question first. if the location (or indeed entire ship) that you're on blows up, you go to Sickbay. Each location can only be damaged once at a time - if the Engine Room (say) is damaged, it's not an option for further damage until it's repaired.
Pegasus can take four hits, so it wouldn't be blowing up yet.
This is correct. In addition, if Pegasus is destroyed, it doesn't end the game. You can continue with just Galactica. (If Galactica gets destroyed - which takes six hits - the Cylons win.)
Wait, why are you in CIC? I thought you were in the Engine Room.
Also correct. I'll update the records. (Either location may be hit by damage.)
I know there's possibility of losing Fuel if Galactica is damaged, is that also the case if Pegasus is damaged?
Galactica includes Food and Fuel stores that may be hit if damaged. This is not the case for Pegasus. If Pegasus is damaged, only her four locations are valid targets.
I'd also have to discard some pretty useful cards in order to avoid giving Helo the chance to damage Galactica anyway were I to execute Dee.
Should Gaeta discard Treachery and Helo play a Sabotage, Dee would once again (as current player) choose whether to apply the damage to Galactica or Pegasus.
Dee, am I correct in assuming you don't want to die and wake up as someone else? You'd get a new OPG.
This is incorrect. Each
player
gets only one OPG. If your character is executed and you've used your OPG, you don't get to use the new character's OPG. (On the other hand, if you haven't used your OPG, the new character's OPG will be available. One exception: if you choose Baltar after the Sleeper phase, his OPG is not available in any case.)
BSG
Now I can't see any benefit to executing Dee.
Evasive Manoeuvres!
(or however you spell that)
I
choose
option 2.
BSG
Sheesh. I have nothing to add, really, except that if I hadn't thought Dee had a chance of being innocent, I wouldn't have tried to help her out of the brig. That still holds, and of course, I don't like anyone to die.
Well, okay, that's not true. I'm good with plenty of my ex-lovers dying, and I'm pretty good with lots of pretty men on battlefields dying in dramatic ways, pledging me their eternal troth. But you know, in an
immediate
sense, I don't like anyone to die.
I'm sure we can get the Chief to patch up any damage...oh, wait, where's the Chief? You know, that bastard never is around when you need him.
BSG

Perhaps he could be, if you find the right person to execute...
The Admiral has chosen to damage Galactica twice! Or maybe Pegasus. Dee, how would you like to manage the damage?
BSG
Can she damage each ship one time?
BSG
Does Dee have the option of one of each?
BSG
She does have that option. It can be both on Pegasus, both on Galactica or one of each.
BSG
I only ask because I have one repair card.
edit: but I still think we're better off aiming twice at Pegasus.
BSG
I will go for two shots at Pegasus.
BSG
I agree with Pegasus taking the hits. While useful, the Pegasus locations aren't nearly as crucial as some of the Galactica locations.
