The realization the man was a fellow void-born both amused Nikolai and briefly made him wonder if that was just a further sign of the fact those born in space would likely roam through it for the rest of their lives. Having been on planetside a fair amount of time when he was being taught what he needed to know, he wasn't weirded out by it but he had to admit he agreed with the sentiment of rather being out in the vast emptiness.<br/><br/>"The Call of the Void is a temptation of the unknown, a thrilling lure to both riches and fame, but those who venture forth unprepared may find the maws of the warp open upon them and engulfing the foolhardy in agony unmitigated." His voice was serious and somewhat tense, before he shook his head slightly. "I apologise for that. Nonetheless, I think that for many of those born on the worlds rather than in the void, there is a certain danger out there which they cannot fathom others risking their lives with. Just as I have to say I cannot imagine why some stay on worlds that will be the death of them, far more likely than the life on the ships. They tell and hear horror stories of things gone wrong on ships, just as those roaming the stars hear stories of horror upon the planets. I would say that it is fear, and suspicions, which ground many people's feet."<br/><br/>Closing his eyes momentarily again and reaching a hand up to brush lightly against the tech-priest's arm as he spoke. "It appears we are all well prepared for our journey, which leaves me eager to see where our journey will take us. Having good companions on a journey aids both against the boredom and the times of excitement, both equally dangerous in their own ways." Nikolai left it unsaid that he found the company of people willing to speak with him for some length comforting, he had dealt with crew before who were always wary of his psyker nature after all, but in a group such as this he felt more at ease, and that in turn aided in securing his loyalty to the rest of the crew.<br/><br/>"I would imagine there is a fair share of profits to be made out there, and hidden knowledge to be secured. Our captain will make the decisions perhaps, but capable officers make sure those orders are carried out so that we shall triumph and stand to gain much from those journeys." He smiled slightly, a small attempt at bolstering morale. He didn't push his power into it, though just a hint of it seemed to be seeping in his voice, a barely noticeable echo that tried to strenghten those words but held back.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Trying to play out a 'fettered' use of 'Inspire', but figured it'd be more descriptive light touch rather than anything mechanical at that point, seeing as he's trying to hold back from actually putting any power behind it. Just a small reminder of the fact he's still touched by the warp.</div></div>
