Busy weekend

Busy weekend and somewhat tricky as well.

I re-organised the crew a little bit, the biggest change being the promotion of Tharsis to XO. I still have to wait and see if he can cope with the position, and the decision was based partially on Erik's lack of leadership and also the fact the Tharsis IS the ship. And being sentient he's not keen on being ordered around by everyone. One leader he can handle it seems.

Erik didn't take his own demotion well and I can't really blame him. It's that old problem, what to do with a pilot on a ship that flies itself? We're looking into refitting one of Tharsis' holds as a flight bay and buying a small shuttle or fighter for him. It'd be something that'd make better use of his skills, but we still need to get hold of local credits for the purchase as well as establishing what a decent local ship would be.

The quarantine actually gave me and Tharsis a nice opportunity to speak with the former Battleclaw about providing the 50,000 odd refugees with some leadership. Unlike the last time I think we made some headway. I'm more hopeful than I was. I'll still hold off in getting involved in any Watch or Militia, we'll wait and see if the civilian government when it's formed calls for one.

We really need to organise a scout mission, we have limited fuel, but we really must find a new home.
