I ain't exactly known followin' orders all that well. Ain't much interested in flying this boat either. [He takes a drag on the cigar, before huffing out some smoke again.] Don't really matter to me who the captain is. Prolly ain't gonna listen to either one of ya.

[Blunt, but honest. He follows those that have his respect. Unless he gets on a ship with Steve Rogers, then chances are there's not gonna be much of anyone whose going to have Logan taking orders, whether appointed by a vote or by the Atroma.]

[t65]

[Luke smiles in earnest. Honesty, however blunt, is always a virtue in Luke's eyes.] Exactly. If I have a good suggestion, I hope you consider it. If I have a bad one, I hope you won't. Really, I just hope this will teach her the importance of earning things. On her planet, she seems to have been appointed by divine rule.

[A little roll of Luke's eyes tells you just what he thinks about that.]

[shishkebub]

[Divine rule, huh? That don't even sound all that strange to him. After all, he's worked with Thor before.]

Sounds like she's a real peach to be around. An' that's her ticket to command, huh?

[t65]

Yes, a... peach. [What are peaches.] That's what she told me. From what I've seen, she'll act like she's in charge regardless.

[Luke shrugs. If this were a military vessel where command was important and organization was key? Luke would be more worried. But after years of working with a paramilitary organization, worrying about who captains what essentially amounts to a cruise ship is a low priority.]

[shishkebub]

[He gives an impassive shrug.]

Long as she don't make no trouble, she can act any way she pleases. [But then there's a whole lot of indifference right here. Logan isn't much interested in being part of some friendly get-along crew.] So did the Atroma give you a useful augment?

[He's not impressed with his own. But then, he doesn't like the idea of having one at all. It's kind of amazing he hasn't taken his out yet.]

[t65]

Of course. [Luke says. He doesn't, for himself, really care what sort of crew this shapes up to be, so long as things can stay civil and peaceful.]

[Hilarious!]

[He considers Logan's question about augments.] Not really. At least, it wasn't anything I couldn't already do. I guess I understand lithium-synaptic feed charges better now... [He shrugs.] Which augment were you given?

[shishkebub]

[Logan gave a vague gesture to one of the cleaning droids that had taken to nesting beneath his seat.]

Maintenance. [There is nothing that isn't bitter in that.] Atroma seem to think I'm only fit for janitor duty.

[t65]

[Luke can't help but smile.] At least you don't have to do the cleaning. [He leans down to inspect the little droid.] Do to know what model it is, or are you from a system without this sort of technology?

[shishkebub]

This kinda shit ain't foreign to me, but I ain't figured out how to work a DVR yet. What does its model matter?

[It's a robot. It moves around. It's probably slightly more useful than a Roomba.]

[t65]

[What's a DVR, Logan.]

What you can do with it. If it has AI, or whether it interfaces with the ship. It might be able to talk to the Blameless. [He looks up at Logan with brightly evident curiosity.] Have you noticed it plugging itself into the ship?

[shishkebub]

[Logan doesn't answer. He just shoots Luke a look as if he was questioning whether Luke was somehow unaware of the type of person he was talking to. Of course he hadn't noticed the droids doing anything, aside from getting under his feet at inopportune times.]

[t65]

[Luke is not yet fluent in Logan. The look he gives in return is deeply perplexed.]

Um...?

[shishkebub]

[He groans.]

No. I ain't seen them do any of that.

[t65]

[Luke shrugs, unoffended.] They could be communicating with the ship, which certainly communicates with the Marsiva. They could be sending status reports, they could even have surveillance capabilities. The model matters. [He stands up.] But I've never seen that model before. I'll look into it.

[It's the least he can do.]

[shishkebub]

Just try not to break 'em. I ain't attached to 'em, but I'd just as soon not be on toilet duty if they're handlin' it.

[t65]

Oh, I wouldn't break them. The models I'm used to are much more complex than cleaning droids. I don't even think these have AI programming... [Someone's nerding out, over here.] But- thank you. And it was nice to meet you, Logan.

[shishkebub]

[Logan grunts in a sort of agreement of the sentiment.] Seeya around, kid. Probably more than we'll care for.

[t65]

[Luke snorts, wondering idly if he's just been insulted.] Don't sell yourself short. [He's met two people on the ship so far, and likes them both. It's a good omen, as far as he's concerned. He waves and leaves the cockpit.]
