    I don't think XO'ing someone right before their turn while we've still got unrevealed cylons is a terribly good idea.

    Fair enough.

    Movement:

    Move myself to Aft.

    CAG action: Order the viper at port-bow to escort the civilian ship off the board. As the extra action, escort civilian ship A off the board.

    A little confused. How do you get to Aft? That's two viper activations, isn't it?

    In a Mark II, yes.

    Alternatively, you could go activate Command and abuse your Alert CAG-ness to get to Aft and escort C off the board.

    I also wouldn't bother XO'ing me, it would nerf the free repair + XO I'm planning on next turn.

    As the civilian ships are escorted to safety, the radiological alarms begin to go off...

    Civilian Ship Nuked
    President Chooses
    Draw 1 civilian ship and destroy it. Then each player discards 1 Skill Card and draws 1 Treachery Card.
    OR
    Draw 2 civilian ships and destroy them.

    (Activate Raiders)

    Wow, this choice sucks. We did just get a bunch of new cards, so I'm leaning toward the first option. We can always dump the Treachery on a check later. Thoughts?

    Per Lee's Disadvantage, random discard is

    Tactics 1 - Launch Scout

    Ship drawn is -1 population.

    One of the civilian ships explodes in a morbidly pretty array of lights. Along with it goes a sizable number of people.

    It's rather quiet now, Chief. But there are still plenty of things to do.

    Allies:
    Alex "Crashdown" Quartararo (Armory)
    Beneficial: Loyal ECO - Look at the top card of the Destination deck, and place it on the top or bottom of the deck

    Dr. Sherman Cottle (Sickbay)
    Beneficial: Expert Surgeon - Discard 3 of your trauma tokens and then move to any location.
    Antagonistic: Chain Smoker - Discard 3 Skill Cards, the move to any location.

    Priestess Elosha (President's Office)
    Benevolentl: Religious Leader - Look at the top card of the Crisis deck, and place it on the top or bottom of the deck.
    Antagonistic: Crisis of the Faith - Draw 2 trauma tokens.

    Turn Progress:
    1. Receive Skills - 1 Pol, 2 Ldr, 2 Eng
    2. Movement Step - None
    3. Action Step - Engineering 1 - Repair, 2x Mark VIIs. Leadership 1 - Executive Order on Tory Foster (President's Office -> Assign Arbitrator on Lee, President's Office -> President's Office)

    Yep, that'll do nicely.
    Playing Assign Arbiter on Lee.

    Assign Arbitrator
    Action: Draw 2 politics cards and give this card to any other player.

    Keep this card in play. When a player activates the "Admiral's Quarters" location, this player may discard this card to reduce or increase the difficulty by 3.

    In addition to the two Politics granted by that card, I'll draw 1 Leadership and 1 Tactics.

    OK, let's do it again. Activate President's Office.

    I'm full on cards, so drawing more isn't great, but at least I can trade up to some better choices.

    OK, I got nothing useful at the moment. Draw another Quorum.

    Koraskovia, can I have an updated list of Quorum cards? I think I deleted one message, and I want to make sure I've got everything.

    I'm leaning towards option A. Hopefully we can pick up a Scout for Fuel at some point to balance it out - population is hard to come by though.

    I do believe Tenek (Galen Tyrol) will need to discard down to 8?

    Lee will also need to place the next civilian ship.

    Shouldn't there be another civilian on board? The Pursuit track adds 2 at the second-last space.
