[@Twilights Curse] sweet, thanks

[@Illogical Jim] Not particularly, but your character could have pulled some strings to get on board. 

EDIT: And by "pulling some strings" I mean having a sentence written into your bio that says you had some contacts on the administration of the ship.

[@BlackRose24] I'd prefer 5 people, but I can start sooner. People could join later if they wanted too, and I'd find a way to get them in. There's way more than just one group of cryo people on the ship. :P
