Noriko takes several mental notes on the each of the persons Ironsides introduces to her. She immediately eliminates several of them right from the start. Pelt stood out too much and that just wasn't good. Also Noriko wasn't going to be responsible for the off chance that things went south and the ship's medic got killed, so Varangian was out. Will was not a choice because...superstition outweighed anything she could think of and aside from some really lovely flute music she wasn't sure what to do with the god blood. That left Sarasala and Blue Moon. She trusted Sarasala after a moment of sizing the young man up and he did have the most experience with these sorts of things and he blended really well. Blue Moon seemed like he would trustworthy as well.<br/><br/>In the end Noriko selected Sarasala, the man's experience having the most weight to it. As long as she kept her objective to herself and made sure he got it out of the operation alive, things would go just smoothly.
