IC: Ad Astra II
Glass a little stridently corrects the new crewmate's interpretation: "We did NOT fail our job - we completed it with swiftness and fully, providing direct access to the new markets that Trident contracted us to do. They, however, chose to terminate our contract when we landed, without even establishing a rapport with the new clients! We were cast aside like petty cashiers, even after we had arrived with a ship ten times larger than the row boat the sent us out in! In only a couple of weeks, we showed our excellence, and they did not even have the courtesy to close our contracts with an official, just some low-end flunky! It was an insult!"
Calming down a bit, he continues, "We have both Navigator's and cartographer's tools onboard for use, and I myself am skilled in Navigation, albeit space is a new terrain to my skills. I have some talent with magic and healing and I also speak Celestial and Primordial. As others have said, we are a profit crew, sharing the gained wealth each time we reach port. Your duties are suited to your skills, so your talents with the Helm will be welcome, as we have lost two Helm operators, during our short time in space, that chose to leave the ship in various ways. One of our members even turned out to be some kind of spy and jumped ship after misrepresenting themselves as a person of influence. That was not a fun negotiation. We are looking for trade of profitability, something that would make use of our speed and ability to not have to stop during a trade route. That is a primary reason we wanted a full compliment of Helmsmen - to change pilots mid-flight and arrive that much faster."
To Brian, he says "Thank you for these. We need to put them handy at every point on the ship, so if you could find a safe way to fasten them throughout, it would be appreciated. Marking them in some way as Ayamba mentioned would be ideal."
