Name: Lance Daniels<br/>Position: Engineer<br/>Location: Galley, then heading to the engine room<br/>Tagged: Braxton, Richard<br/><br/>Lance watched Braxton's shaking hands with some confusion, having never seen him like that.  He watched as Braxton downed the rest of the champagne, and finished off his own glass with a shrug.<strong>"Congratulations.  One dinner down and still alive."</strong>Lance laughed, though not with much joy, at Braxton's assessment.<strong>"Well, it's nice not being responsible for the near collapse of a business I put everything into, but feeling helpless about it isn't much better."</strong>And he was helpless.  Though he was an owner he had no authority, and while any crew member could offer suggestions for business, they held no real weight when it came time to decision-making.  Unless it directly applied to the safety or ability of the ship Lance was just another lackey.<strong>"And speaking of being engineer, I have a thruster to inspect."</strong>He got the feeling Braxton wasn't really listening, being already well into tipsy reflection.<br/><br/>When Braxton turned to Mya and got sentimental on her, Lance chuckled uncomfortably.<strong>"Well I know where <em>I</em> rank"</strong>he said.<br/><br/>He turned back to Richard, shaking his head at the glare.<strong>"I don't want someone that can't fly sitting alone at the helm.  Captain's not fit for helm duty at the moment either, though maybe after a romp and a nap he'll be fine to relieve Keri.  Aside from him, the only people that could fly it are Sue, who's on quarters, and me, who'll be tired from actually having done a job on this ship."</strong>He grinned, feeling pretty good about himself.<em>And they like to say I'm lazy.</em>He looked over at Mya.<strong>"Wear him out quickly and get him to sleep.  When he wakes up he'll probably need to give Keri a break."</strong><br/><br/>He bid goodnight to Isi and got up from the table, making his way to the sink.  He handed his bowl and glass to Elfi without getting into a mental debate about it.<strong>"Don't forget that Serenity wanted you to do some cleaning in her shuttle"</strong>he said.  That being done, he made his way out of the galley and began the short walk to the lower engine room, not bothering to change clothes.
