"I came in same day as the Captain here!" he said hitting Gabriel on the shoulder with a smile.  Gabriel glowered at him playfully and Artie chuckled. "Oh come on Buddy you love it...let me talk you up to the lady here...So listen he comes in and he is the youngest pilot ever for our army...they introduce him to me and I'm like Oh shit we are all gonna die! I tell him this and you know what the son of a bitch says?" his mouth was spread from ear to ear in a grin. "Only if you give us all food poisoning!  I knew right then we were gonna get along just fine... Anyway so we launch after the christening and all that jazz.  We're bobbing along through the solar system minding our own business when BOOM we get attacked out of no where! I swear to you this ship did somersaults to get out of the way there is no way we should have made it...saved my life that day he did " Artie said this last proudly. "I like to think he didn't care about his own ass!"
