Ian looked at Turner and smiled; it seemed maybe he’d be okay with a crew, after all. Or they’d all glom together and create a starship-eating machine - it was a toss-up. The Midshipman seemed to like the idea of going down to home base with a fellow, and Ian was glad to show him the way. “All right,” he said, walking through the doors. “Let’s get going.”
He wanted to throw a glance back towards Captain Braggins, but truth be told, he didn’t really want to be around the woman longer than he needed to. She respected his expertise, and apparently thought him worthwhile enough to drag him along on whatever space-traveling adventures she was tasked with, and she must have thought that better than Ian’s contented fate of tinkering in the junkyard.
He still missed his ship.
As they walked to Engineering, Ian’s head on something of a swivel; always looking to see in the nooks and crannies of a ship he’d yet to learn. “I was on the last Yeager,” he told the Caitian. “Yeager type, so much fun to play with. It didn’t work most of the time, so sometimes I hooked the replicator up to the warp core just to keep my coffee warm. Only blew up the systems twice. Or… well, as far as keeping coffee good, it was only twice.”
