Ben looked Krip in the eyes. He hadn't expected a position as fine as this to come up, maybe some merc work was the best he could hope for. He rubbed his chin with one of his huge hands. He didn't need long to think about this one.<br/>The ship was good.<br/>The crew were professional and friendly.<br/>The offer was better than he could expect elsewhere.<br/>He stuck his hand out and said in his deep voice, "Ok."<br/>Kip returned the shake noticing the subdued strength and thinking he'd never want to get on the wrong side of this guy.<br/>Ben returned his hand to his chin thoughtfully,"From what I saw the rest back there aren't much better than void dust. We could train a few or I could also keep an eye out and see what we find later down the track. If we can slip into the Captis system at some point I've a stash of gear there that might come in handy one day. As for the bed, don't worry - I'm used to sleeping on the floor. Just show me my cabin and I'll begin interfacing with the ship on security status."<br/>That was probably the most Ben had said at one time in the last few years.<br/>It felt good to be wanted again.<br/>Krip turned to show him the ship and his cabin and Ben followed saying with a wry smile, "After you cap'n!"
