* The Cylons are unable to detect the Blackbird, while both Colonial battlestars are able to pick it up relatively quickly. It should be noted that the Blackbird is only detected once it starts transmitting a message. This suggests that it isn't literally detected by its [[DRADIS]] signature, but by the [[wireless]] signals it gives off. | * The Cylons are unable to detect the Blackbird, while both Colonial battlestars are able to pick it up relatively quickly.

*Laura Roslin, as President of the Twelve Colonies, probably has the power to remove Cain from active duty status. However, Cain barely recognizes her authority. She does a double take when Roslin is introduced to her as president, and - similar to Adama's reaction in the Miniseries - still sees her as the Secretary of Education. While attempting to get supplies for the civilian fleet, Roslin tells Adama that Cain will not take her phone calls. It is doubtful that she would follow an order to stand down, especially given her propensity for throwing Adama's logged actions back at him. Presumably she would cite his decision to remove Roslin from office and Tigh's subsequent declaration of martial law as precedent for doing same were Roslin to challenge her. (And Roslin was unable to remove Adama from active duty at that time, either, suggesting a possible limitation to her powers as president.) | *Laura Roslin, as President of the Twelve Colonies, probably has the power to remove Cain from active duty status.

*Despite demanding obedience and discipline from those under her, Cain admires courage and out-of-the-box thinking and even allows a certain amount of rule-bending at times. In this episode, she promotes Kara Thrace to CAG despite Thrace's known disciplinary problems (the most recent being her unauthorized usage of the Blackbird). | *Despite demanding obedience and discipline from those under her, Cain admires courage and out-of-the-box thinking and even allows a certain amount of rule-bending at times.
