I'm really tempted to choose Leoben, just for the chance to mess with ND, but....
I pick Chief Tyrol. That way, I can either be essential to the ship, or screw you all over by making your only Repair guy defect.
Oh and 1Y 1G 1B, plz.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

askye is next, and I have COs that it is not meet that Chief Tyrol should be alone. She picks Cally Henderson.
Next is Laga, who may pick any military leader, any Cylon leader or Dee.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
BSG
I know I said I wanted to be a cylon but I think this game is going to be complicated enough. I'll be Helo.

P-C may choose any character not yet chosen; he has left COs for Felix Gaeta.
I don't yet have everyone's starting card draw. In addition, the first player is Starbuck, who has a variable draw. Everyone who has card decisions to make, please let me know.

Meanwhile, some other notes.
The Admiral of the fleet is Admiral Karl "Helo" Agathon, who will start the game with two nukes.
The President is Dr Gaius "Space Weasel" Baltar, who will start the game with one Quorum card.
We have six players and no Cylon leader; we will therefore play with the official No Sympathiser variant. In this variant, resources start lower than usual; and revealed Cylons may draw one additional card on their turn.
Finally, as we are playing with the Ionian Nebula, there are currently three Allies - actually, you know what? They may be Allies, or they may choose to jerk you around. Let's call them NPCs instead. There are three NPCs on board, in various locations. At game start, you discover the following personages:
- Brendan "Hot Dog" Costanza in Weapons Control.
- Louanne "Kat" Katraine on the Hangar Deck.
- Romo Lampkin in the Brig.

Romo Lampkin in the Brig
Pffffft. Bwahahaha!
I'd love to know the story behind THAT.
Also, if an NPC starts in one of our starting positions, does that count as "encountering" them?

Mr Lampkin is of course free to come and go; however, this is where he meets most of his clientele.
Also, if an NPC starts in one of our starting positions, does that count as "encountering" them?
No; only if you're still there after your own Movement Phase. For instance, if Starbuck moves away from the Hangar Deck on her turn, she won't encounter Kat. If she stays there (for instance if she wants to activate the Hangar Deck to launch in a viper), then she will.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Who was Romo?
Romo was Mark Sheppard. Apollo's lawyer. He had a cat. For some reason.
