<hr/><div class="floatright">(http://)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Theo<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Mess Hall, Starfinder, Low Port, Emape<br/><strong>Station Time:</strong>Early Afternoon<br/><strong>Tagging: </strong>Meeting crew!<br/><hr/><br/>"I'm flattered that you think that's a good idea," Theo said to Greg, and meant it. The vote of confidence from the Vargr was... unexpected. "You're both Navy girls," he said to Greg and Adrianna, "so a Captain is someone who you can rely on to formulate a plan and give orders when everything's going pear-shaped, right? I've dealt with all sorts of people, from bureaucrats to judges to nobles, but the last time I stuck my nose into something where someone was trying to kill me, both Adrianna and I came within a hair's breadth of dying without even catching sight of the enemy, as it were."<br/><br/>He cracked his knuckles and stretched out his arms in the practiced motion of someone who was about to unleash a sheaf of papers. But of course there weren't any handy, so he had to make do with stretching. "So here's the caveat I propose. You can put my name at the top of the list. That'll give the ship respectability in the eyes of the law and a large section of clients. That means we can get away with more. In a diplomatic or legal emergency, I absolutely don't mind being in charge. Likewise with keeping everything in order with the authorities in our travels. I would probably optimize the captain's quarters for meetings with clients, unless we want to dedicate a stateroom to it. Making a good impression is worth hard credits.<br/><br/>That being said, I'm not a<em>leader</em>. My guess, and I'm prepared to back this up, is that I'm not the man for the job when it comes to commanding under pressure when the crisis is more immediate than an angry noble or a mountain of subpoenas - those are problems that would absolutely crush us, but they would crush us slowly. I know Greg's capable of it, and Max, you say you'd be good at keeping things coordinated in a crisis." He cracked a little smile, "do you want to Rochambeau for first officer, or should we be more sophisticated about it?"
