Cally heads over to Communications and orders the civilians to head for the Viper cover at 5:00.
While in Communications, she is recruited to join an investigation into acts of sabotage.

Man, these "check loyalty" crises always show up early and they're always so much fun.
Kobol and New Caprica were tough times, times that demand investigation. I feel that these proceedings are vital to the security of the fleet and I order that they be undertaken in the brightest possible sunlight.
Play Politics 3 - Investigative Committee on the check.
What's your reason for not throwing in a card or two, Starbuck? You are drawing a full set of cards right after this crisis resolves. Any intel is good intel, I say.
My contribution is one card, Leadership 3 - Declare Emergency.

My contribution is one card, Leadership 3 - Declare Emergency.
If you remember my initial and support draws, you'll see the number of cards I have to use on this check. As I said, I want to be able to have that/those card(s) on my turn.
Well, I was just curious, but since you mentioned, I looked. You either have 1 Lead and 2 Tac currently, or you have 3 Tac (and contributed your Lead card to a crisis where it was negative.)
So if you have a Lead card that absolutely must be saved because it'll be useful on your turn then it's probably an XO or a State of Emergency. At the very least I can understand wanting to hold on to the latter.

Galactica's ace pilot Starbuck has recently been promoted to CAG, and found that looking after 10 Vipers is a lot harder than 1. After seeing the alert Vipers off to guard the civilians, she can finally get some things done herself.

Hey Cally, what civilian would you recommend escorting, since I get to do it for free?
I guess I can just cyan this...
Stay in the hangar and activate the location, launching myself at the port bow.
Spend the extra action on my CAG action- activate an unmanned viper at port-quarter to escort the civilian Cally recommends off the map, and use the extra action to play Leadership 2- Executive Order on Tory.
Phew. That was a lot more complicated than most of the actions I've had to take before. CAG is interesting!
Tory does well with the Quorum, installing Admiral Helo as her new Vice-President and building a substantial amount of political capital in the process. She may need some the next time she has an important decision to make, such as...
Water Shortage
President Chooses -1 food OR
The President discards 2 Skill Cards; then the current player discards 3 Skill Cards. (activate basestars) (jump prep)
How many of those cards would you like to keep, Madam President?
Tory manages to bully her way out of increasing water rations with Starbuck's help. Starbuck discards:
Tactics 1 - Guts and Initiative
Tactics 2 - Launch Scout Piloting 0 - Protect the Fleet
Basestars activate. 1d8 = 7 - Hit!
Jump prep advances.Jump risks 1 population.
Starbuck, which battlestar takes the hit?

So we have a mostly-confirmed admiral, -1 jump prep with no real immediate issues from the cylons without 2 straight raider/heavy raider activations.
Our best options for Felix's turn seem to be:
1) kill off the raiders
2) scout the destination deck
3) XO the president for more hot quorum action (remembering she is uncofirmed at the moment)
4) Jump the heck out of here, given Felix's FTL abilities.
I think that's my order of preference at the moment
Action: Draw 2 politics cards and give this card to any other player.
Keep this card in play. While this player is not President, other players may not be chosen with the "Administration" location.

While the rest of the crew has been busy fending off Cylons and Politicians, Gaeta has been working on jump calculations and gotten most of the fleet ready to go.

Also, uh, this is rather embarassing, but I don't have any repairs handy. Weird hand. Gonna have to let you oversee the Mark VII project, Gaeta.
Move to and activate Communications. Peek at Civilians A and B, then direct them both to Port-Quarter.
While in Communications, she is recruited to join an investigation into acts of sabotage.

Cally, whose loyalty do you want to look at?
Holy frak!
e- Oh, I'd recommend the admiral or president...or Mr. Gaeta, who can steal the admiralty.
What do you mean you can't get his sample just because he's not on board? You're the scientist, you figure out a way!
