Adam chuckles as he continues to scan the streets.  "I am self taught, could never afford proper education..." he trailed off wincing a bit at the question of 'why was he here?'  "Besides, I grew up out there", he looked into the sky at that point.  "Never really had a feel for the academic types.  It is simply a way to make a living, ya know..?" Adam says, still staring into space.<br/><br/>"I know what I know" he shrugs and pats his science case as he leans back away from the wall and takes a spot beside Dawn on the rail.  "What about you?  With all that experience, surely you could land a better pilot job than this?"  Adam glanced at her sidelong and a bit incredulously.  They all knew her story and accepted her as an apt pilot.  Her drinking had not interfered with a mission yet, so who cared?  The military did of course.
