Assuming the other players are happy with it, no one has any rejections, I'd say this guy's accepted. Now it's just a matter of tossing him into the crew. If you want that done soon, you might want to do something similar along the lines of Mark, and find an excuse for him to be at the party and get tangled up in Nova's problems.

Otherwise, he could be a peer/acquaintance of one of the crew that contacts them for a job (and ends up at the party and/or in Nova), be a random encounter of sorts post-mission, or found somewhere around the next quest. (Or any other idea that fits.)

I'd have to think long and hard how to integrate him at a party like this, but that would be neat. Though I don't mind the "next quest" thing either, so whatever we can brainstorm I'll be happy to work with.
