<strong>Nathan Richter</strong><br/><br/>From his point off at the side wall, Nathan watches Captain Velnze go over her list of equipment, quietly going through a list in his head of all of the things he'd add to that list, were he her... but instead of going over there, he stays out of it.  She wasn't his CO, and didn't ask for his input, at least directly.  Implied requests were subject to interpretation and pretense, and that game was one he never liked to participate in for the sake of it.  He preferred to be up front, to be honest.  Perhaps a little too honest.  He was as subtle as a bag of hammers sometimes.<br/><br/>Not wanting to forget his items he's going to have to talk to his CO about, he slips out his palmtop and starts writing his list out on it with the stylus.  This completed, he resumes idly observing people and their interactions.
