But actually, I still have to decide whetever making him go there, or to the engine room.

He never needs to be on the bridge. What's he going to do on the bridge? Play Solitaire on one of the computers?

Yes.

Think what you want. I think that Pyotr's (temporary, mind you.) presence on the Bridge is fine enough.

Rup. Teruko was already on the bridge, so Justine only needed to climb off her.

I assume there's always one or two red shirt characters on these kinds of RPs. Perhaps, they're... I dunno trainees of some kind? Not full fledged crewmembers? Just extra hands?

Even automated turrets would need a tactical battlestation.

And I would humbly delegate my character (Teruko) who is currently the ship maid, and logistics/heavy in ground combat.
Or someone could make a dedicated character for this.

Also, chat.

Aya's a crewmember in training.

I do think Pyotr ought to have a chair on the bridge, even if he's not there most of the time.
Also, can't the current bridge crew, whose positions have considerable overlap, operate whatever weapons aren't automated?

Oh. You know, that actually makes a lot of sense. You can't shoot while jumping, after all.

Biography: Gale Moon had lived a somewhat eventful life. It was difficult being a type-B magic user in a family of Type-A's. He was only the second in his family's history, and they didn't really understand him. He grew up under the radar, studying and learning. His family was always in jail, so he mostly grew up alone in the poorer parts of the colonized world. He had few friends and was quite antisocial, that is, until Bridgette Kacey came into his life. They met at the age of eighteen and by the age of twenty-two, they were married and had a child. She brought Gale out of his little box and soon, they were the talk of the colony. Until the day his son died, that is. It was on the boys fourth birthday when it happened. They had a party for him, and somehow, they lost sight of him. They started searching for him, and five days later, they found his body. A few weeks later, Bridgette committed suicide. After this, he became antisocial again and focused on his studies.

He attended college for ten years in hope of getting a job as an extraterrestrial translator, because language would always be somewhat of a barrier. Afterwards, as he searched for a job that would put his skills to use, he started to perform small odd-jobs, everything from cleaning, to babysitting, to gas station clerks. He lived a poor life until 'the Grey Goose' came into his life. He is attempting to come out of his shell again, but it will be a long and painful process.
