Also, Braxton is actually quite content with Richard regardless of allegiances. As you played him so far, he does an important job on the ship: making sure that things run smoothly, everything is in order and he helps keep the peace, even keeping the captain in line at times. It may very well be that Lance does not recognize these 'soft skills' of running a ship as real work, though. After all, there is a reason why he chose to be 'just the engineer'.<br/><br/>Satan_Klaus
