[quote=@ethanjory] If mdk doesn't mind, I won't mind making my own LT if he's just going to written off what he made as a mere NPC, once everything is cleared up.

I wrote up Lt. Byron, sorta figuring we'd need a dumb LT to murder at some point and I was uniquely qualified to draw one up. But if you're leaning that way for your character, we can bump him down to some sort of Midshipmen role, or just a junior-grade role of some sort. 

Basically what I'm saying is I'm not desperate to keep him around in the role described, we can work around it. Though there are other vacancies that HeySeuss is talking about that probably need filling, too.
