[Well, regardless of what title or role he held back home (and it was actually quite a few, all slightly different hats), it wasn't applicable here. He wasn't just about to go roaming into a new group (many of which had been here quite a bit longer than he had) and try to instate himself as some upstart usurper, especially when so little information on their situation was forthcoming. Who he had been to Tekkadan had been based upon his relationship to the rest of his crew - his family - and what he'd needed to be in order to lead them all towards a brighter future.
He's got no fuckin' clue who he "needs" to be here. Probably just a cog in a machine. It kinda ground at him a little bit, abrasive on edges that hadn't really been smoothed out by wear and time, but hey, he'd adjust.]
Bummer. [He sighs, looking down.] If they're gonna force us into helping them out like this, they might as well pay us back decently.
[Had anyone asked about that? Because he sure as hell doesn't work for free. Whenever this whole thing gets settled, he's going to have to tabulate the bill and make sure the witch pays up.]
Yeah? [To be honest, he didn't even know that was an option.] I hadn't heard about that. The powers that be didn't seem very great about clarity or specificity. They also don't seem to be very... around.
