Kay,lets get plotting!!!! I'm willing to play the captain if you'd like, but I said I'd see if you'd rather take that role or if you'd preferr it to stay entirely NPC. We can start at the point where Loire has returned to the Citadel after being booted from the research team on the other planet. Maybe the captain, or Viva or an NPC who is somehow related/friends with them could fall ill and wind up in Loire's care, the captain could recruit him from there and thats how he joins the crew, then along the way we just see where it goes from there!
