[So, this is something he's been wondering - and eventually, seriously considering - for the last couple of months, mostly when they landed on Arslae and he realized how ill-equipped he is to deal with conflict. For most people, it would simply be a matter of avoiding fights. But for him... well. It's kind of all he's ever been good for.

Getting told that, hey, one of your crewmates is a murderer is more or less the last straw to break through his indecisive camel back.]

I have a question, mostly for whoever's gotten personal those personal augment upgrades you can buy, or at least thought about it. I'd really like to know- what's it like? Which did you choose? Why would you choose to get one- or why not? I mean, the people offering them up aren't exactly trustworthy, but they all sound pretty useful, too.

Basically, I'm trying to weigh the pros and cons. I'd appreciate the help.

Reckon I wasn't too keen on invitin' Atroma into my head...

[Feeling kind of cautious about this whole thing, person who helped her out once in a tight spot.]

Didn't ask them in.

[A small but important point.]

Found the ship modifications more important, anyway.

Our ship's mostly modified, already. Anyway, self-preservation is kind of important to me.

[Okay, that was something different.]

Ya got a reason ta think you're in danger?

...I kind of have a habit of running headlong into it, more often than not. Figured it would be safer to find ways of protecting myself.

I hate ta sound like an after school special here, but then maybe ya should consider wisin' up? There are 'bout a dozen people who I could name on this crazy fleet who are bored an' highly trained. If ya wanna keep runnin' the way that ya are, maybe you should talk ta one of them an' get some trainin'.

I've been training with people already. Been doing it for months.

[It's just not enough anymore.]
