It takes vision and determination. That I can respect. That body doesn’t hurt either. Now if only she would get out of the way and let me at the controls more often, that would make her perfect.Orion Conwell: I know a thing or two about craft design. The Gate is a masterwork, and Orion should feel proud of himself. Once he’s done with that, he needs to calm down. Oh, he’s fine when we’re in the lounge. But in the engine room? His attention is just way too divided.Hazel Conwell: That is a beautiful woman. Smart as hell too, to design a ship like this. Damn shame she’s married, though. I’ll flirt, I love flirting. But I do not tussle with a married women. That’s a whole headache I just don’t need. Still, she should be fun for trading barbs and playing cards.Celeste Morgans: I knew people like her back in the SanFAF. They’re always looking for that one thing that a person doubts about themselves and just pick at it and pick at it. She maintains her distance from people. That’s fine for now, but at some point she needs to learn she ain’t alone out. None of us are.Celsus Bell: Some people know how to drink. I happen to be one of them. Celsus is not. Not right now. He might be a damn good surgeon, but that doesn’t mean a thing if his hands are shaking from the booze or because they want it. He better get himself right, or I might just raid his room and add his collection of drinks to my own until he’s healthy.Perinua Vrimsen: I know I’m a pig since the way a woman looks does a lot for my opinion of her. I sure wouldn’t kick Perinua out of bed. I may smother her with a pillow, though, if only to keep her from nagging at me any more. She seriously needs to calm down, knock back a couple of drinks and relax. Getting laid would probably help too.Casper Jones: Thank god for Casper Jones. Doc Bell is a good man in bad trouble. He needs someone next to him to keep him steady, and Cas is probably that man. He’s a bit too much of a mouse, but we can work on that. I’ve got plenty of stuff to put hair on his chest. Maybe it’ll finally get him to open up. Last guy I saw trying that hard to smile that much was running for office.Lena Velton: That is my kind of woman. Drinks hard, fights harder, and seizes life by the balls. Hot as a spitfire too. If she’s down to party, I’m definitely going to invite her back to my bunk. Share some of my whiskey, maybe play some strip poker, then chase away the cold of space.
