    Zarek curries favor with the media, but the broadcasts are abruptly halted towards the end of the conference:

    Admiral, I've repaired your hangar deck, sir!

    Hangar deck is repaired, but military and civilian leaders have begun fighting, and the Admiral must choose whether or not to:

    Declare Martial Law

    Admiral Chooses

    -1 morale and the Admiral receives the President title.
    OR
    -1 population and the Admiral discards 2 Skill Cards.

    (activate basestars)

    Admiral, the burden of command is upon you. What say we all?

    Good girl.



    ...OK, so, two questions, because I can't remember a rule.

    1) Can I pick the choice that requires me to discard cards, even though I have no cards to discard? And,

    2) What do you guys want me to do? We're at 8 Morale, which is tied for being the closest to the red (3, with fuel).

    You can pick either choice - any time a Crisis card requires you to choose, either option is available unless the card explicitly says otherwise (i.e. for Build Cylon Detector, you can't choose to sacrifice a nuke if you don't have any.)

    Speaking as the current President, Admiral Tigh, I recommend against instituting Martial Law at this time. The people may suffer in the short term, but such an unprecedented concentration of power goes against everything we stand for. Would you so casually dismiss the will of the people?
    Yeah, you can pick the Skill Card discard option on a crisis even if you don't have any skill cards.

    (Please cyan the official stuff, helps sort out the chatter.)

    The population takes a dive, but the crisis is resolved.

    Basestars attack!

    1d8 = 7 - Hit!
    1d8 = 6 - Hit!

    The Admiral's Quarters and Hangar Deck are damaged in the assault. Boomer is hit by shrapnel and carted off to Sickbay, but has time for one last scouting mission anyways. Recon Crisis sent.

    Admiral, my recon mission was a success and I've successfully avoided a negative impacting crisis. However, your office and the hangar deck were apparently blown up. I'll be in sickbay, sir!

    Turn Progress:
    1. Receive Skills - 2 Ldr, 3 Tac
    2. Movement Step - Stay in Command
    3. Action Step - Play 1 - Executive Order on Boomer
    4. Crisis Step - Legendary Discovery
    5. Activate Cylon Ships Step - Launch Raiders
    6. Prepare for Jump Step - n/a

    Boomer buries a crisis and goes to spend some quality time with the Doc. The Admiral wakes up mildly hungover and ready to face a new day of trying to not die.

    Your orders, Admiral?

    Boomer goes to the lab to boost her Engineering abilities. Meanwhile, a scout returns and announces:

    Legendary Discovery

    14 Tactics, Piloting

    Pass Place this card next to the Kobol Objective card. It counts as 1 distance.
    Fail -1 food and destroy 1 raptor

    (basestars launch raiders)

    Overcoming Galactica's inept Leadership, the Pilots and Tacticians successfully bring the fleet one step closer to Kobol.

    Basestars launch 3 raiders at 1:00 and 3 more at 9:00.

    Lee, how will you divide your attention between Politics and Leadership?

    About that whole plan thing, its either scout the crisis deck looking for jump prep or try and clean house out here, just not sure how much of a difference it makes now

    The fleet's supplies are gradually being reduced. Lee is presented with a risky plan to acquire more:

    Scouting for Water

    9 Tactics, Piloting

    Pass: +1 Food
    Fail: -1 fuel and destroy 1 raptor
    OR

    Lee scraps the scouting mission, and distributes extra resources to the people. -1 food

    Raiders activate. Activation order may matter (11 o'clock raiders will move towards the nearest civilian, which could be either F, or A if F is destroyed.) Lee decides if 9:00 raiders activate before 11:00 raiders.
