"No need to bow before me, Ro'Essel, I'm no king, just the ex smuggler put in charge of this vessel." Lex said to her with a slight smile as he watched her bow before he, she was very theatrical in her ways, but he just pegged it to the different culture she was from.

"'Open your thoughts?', do you mean speak your mind? Go ahead, you can speak freely here." Lex said to her, then looked over to see Amelia putting the final launches on the ship for liftoff. 

"Easy with her ace pilot. This is her first time, can't take things too fast." He said to Amelia from his seat, a smile on his face. The captain then looked around the bridge, trying to familiarize himself with the layout. Nothing like the little freighter he flew in his smuggling days, reminded him more of the frigate he was stationed on when he was in the Navy. Brought back some memories he had thought he forgot.

"Anything I should know, Eve?" He said to the A.I, speakers were all over the ship allowing the crew to speak with her from nearly anywhere on the Vigilance.

"Nothing right now, sir." The A.I. replied.

"Please, call me Lex."

"As you wish, Lex."
