<strong>Mariner's Gate Space Station ~ 4 months ago</strong><br/><em><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;">(Thalia, Santiago and Samson cross paths)</span></em><div class="floatright">(http://imageshack.com/a/img844/7043/lb3w.jpg)</div><br/><br/>Thalia didn't have too much more to say on the matter of Dale Silver that she hadn't already said. She knew her thoughts on it, the Captain knew his thoughts on it, and Santiago knew both. Even had he survived, Thalia wasn't convinced he would've turned out the kind of man she'd hoped he would be. It had nothing to do with moving to Ariel or not, it had to do with potential. The man had it, but he ignored it.. and likely as not would've gone on doing so, because he didn't know better. Then again, maybe her hopes had nothing to do with him and whatever dreams he once had that died with him. Thalia wondered if she could've been a positive influence on his life if she'd decided to join him on Ariel, but it wasn't going to happen. Not now, not ever.<br/><br/>"I do want to join up," she said, her expression thoughtful. "The only issue being I'm working in the medical facility on the station here and they'll be wanting some notice. When are you leaving?" She glanced back and forth between Santiago and Samson, not really doubting her decision. It wasn't perfect circumstances to get hired or come to know the Captain, but you made the best of the circumstances you had. Maybe good could come of it, even though it hadn't at that party so long ago.<br/><br/>"With just the two of you, there's likely not enough work to keep me busy. I can speak a couple of other languages if that's any use to you." She glossed over the Companion training, at least for now. "If you're visiting different ports, then I could offer medical help to people off the ship if it's needed."<em>Sometimes out on the border and the rim, doctors are a rarity.</em>"Oh, and I can cook, somewhat. What destinations do you have in mind and do you have a med bay on board.. or space set aside for one?"<br/>
