Well, workin' alone sure as hell don't work in space. You'd die pretty fast, without at least one person to back you up. Never know when somethin's about to go wrong that you ain't in a position to fix, or needs more'n two hands.
So the more of us willing to work together, the better.
[At the last request, an honest fondness slid back onto his face, again.]
Well, see, the Roci could take about a 30 man crew, but we ain't got that. There's just five of us, at the present moment, and Prax we picked up mostly to help find his daughter, but. He's a botanist, grew up on Ganymede. Smart guy, loves his kid. He'n' Amos have been spendin' a lot of time together, and it's good - think it's really helped Amos loosen up a little. Prax has been rubbin' off on him, I think, in a good way.
I've already told you about Amos, but next up is his best girl, Naomi - though don't get any ideas, they ain't like that. She's one of the smartest damn people I've ever met. You could give her a box of broken doohickies and she could build you half a comms system out of it and then tell you exactly what part she needed to finish the job, and where to find it. Amos don't listen to many people, but he listens to her.
Last we've got Holden - he was the XO on our ship before it got destroyed, and we all agreed in the end that he should be Captain on the Roci, once we got shit figured out. He's as stubborn as a god damn bull and half an idiot sometimes, but - he cares about people. A lot. And he goes out of his way to save who and what he can. [Though Ganymede had sort of undermined that. Alex had to remind him to save people, but in the end, Holden had agreed. But like hell he'd say that to someone who wasn't crew.]
They're the best crew I've ever run with and I'd go into hell for any of 'em.
