You're open to take a Military Leader, so you'll be playing as Helena Cain. You'll need to make a decision about your starting location.
Kaneski has conditional orders to select D'Anna Biers.
Titles: Helena Cain (Professor Phobos) takes the title of Admiral, Lee Adama (Tenek) takes the title of President, and Louanne "Kat" Katraine (Grunt's Ghosts) takes the title of CAG.
Loyalty: A Loyalty deck is constructed with 11"You are not a Cylon" cards, 2 "You are a Cylon" cards, and 1 "You are a Mutineer" card; each player except Kaneski draws one. blahmcblah draws the "You are a Mutineer" card and immediately draws a new Loyalty card and one Mutiny card. Kaneski draws two cards from the Cylon Motives deck.
All players excepting Kirindal may now select a starting skill card draw; loyalty and motive cards will be sent via PM shortly.
No, most of us have a set location. I'm in the Admiral's Quarters, you get the Hangar Deck... I think Cain is one of the only players who has a choice (Pegasus CIC or Command, unless I missed something Admiral's Quarters doesn't work.)
I'm thinking XO'ing Demetrius Captain's Cabin is mandatory.
Tactical Plot to see what mission needs; an XO on Captain's Cabin, then run mission. Now that I think it, the Cabin removes need for card balance between characters. Galactica damaged? No worries - XO on Captain's Cabin - 2 engineering for everyone!

It has been many years since the Cylons' destruction of the Twelve Colonies, but despite the odds, humanity has continued to survive. But the long journey has taken its toll, and the human fleet is beginning to strain to the verge of breaking. Humanity continues to run for the sake of survival, with only hope that they will finally find an Earth to call their new home.

Demetrius. Plot. Cabin. Bridge. In that order. C'mon meatbags, trying to save you here.
On that note - should I even bother coming over to the human fleet to check the admiral loyalty? Or am I just going to get my Miracle token stolen and then brigged/spaced?

Louis Hoshi moves to check on the engineering teams' progress. Meanwhile, Lee Adama is approached with a plan concerning notable prisoners in the human fleet.

The weird thing is that "boop" really should be followed by a reveal. This way is just odd. I think we should hold off on miracles until we see our actual resource pressure, though.
I just learned raiders move CLOCKWISE toward the nearest civilian ship, rather than COUNTER-CLOCKWISE which is how I've done it in every game of BSG I've hosted.
Well, I've gotten some rather favorable news from the Quorum. Could come in handy. And to think they were going to put Gaius in charge before he started getting all preachy!

If you don't mind losing your hand, I lose one less card thanks to my ability.
