It might be easier, and make more sense, for someone in the scene to do a bit of god-modding. For example, since Lance/Keri/Phil, aren't in a combat situation, if you had to leave before they were back to the ship, it would be easy enough for me to do a touch god-modding and just say that Lance drove Phil back to town then he and Keri returned to the ship where he helped offload the fuel cells and then went to the engine room to put away, or make use of, the parts he'd picked up.<br/><br/>I will say, that for Keri, if I know I am going to be gone I will write her into the background before I leave and if something comes up where her flight skills are needed then SK can god-mod her flying and returning to her bunk, but I wouldn't actually want anyone<em>playing</em>her even for only a couple of posts. If I had to leave unexpectedly, then I'd also be o.k. with SK god-modding her into the background, but again, not actually playing her, just writing her out of the scene and back to her bunk.
