Okay, here's what I'm gonna do. Based on the feedback from Tex, Dragondancer and Loves, I both agree and like the proposed idea of having Steve fill in as a stop gap mechanic until such a time as a more permanent and specialized mechanic is needed. Hopefully Pearl will return to us. She is a very talented writer has been an important part of helping me plan things to come in the near future for our rag-tag crew.<br/><br/>So, I'll pull down the advert for a new mechanic character and get to work writing Hayes's dismissal from the ship for a while to take care of some more pressing personal issues.<br/><br/>Tex, feel free to make any additions, changes, or tweaks to Steve's profile and send it on over.<br/><br/>Thanks for the help and the input y'all. Carry on then. ;)
