On:

After jumping to warp and making sure that the entire ship wasn't going to fall apart, Walter kicked back in his chair then looked over at his new pilot, he was young, strapping, smart and handsome. The man sitting in the pilots chair reminded him of himself at that age. "I know we kind of met back there at the ball but now that you are here, we should probably get to know each other a bit and work out your terms here."

Kyle span the pilots chair "Yes, I was waiting to have a little talk, especially about money." He looked over the bridge "A bit of a mess, wouldn't you say? Do we get hazard pay just in case one of these shorts and kills us?" He pointed to a close consol with a wry smile on his face.

"It is a lovable mess, she flies so that is the important thing." Jones pulled an ancient data pad from next to his seat and waited for it to boot up, looking over everything he looked back over at Kyle. "I guess it always comes down to money doesn't it?"

Kyle smiled at the captain’s comment, "We all think about getting paid, I just think about it more often. So, what’s your offer?"

"Well, I'm just going to cut to the chase your smart and I'd rather not haggle over the details. For crew I give 10% of the Net profits and an equal cut of any bonus we get from jobs, plus free room and board and a say in all of our jobs. I try and run a fair ship here even under some of the circumstances we are presented." Jones tossed over the data padd which had some information on it and a line to sign. "Employ at will here, I don't do contracts and you are free to walk after the end of a job, but I reserve the right to have my Andorian throw you out of an airlock." Jones laughed a little bit at the thought. "I see this ship as a family who likes to make money, we watch after each other and stick up for one another but at the end of the day, we need to eat."

Kyle nodded, smiling at the last comment, "All standard, I was looking to get back into deep space anyhow. As long as you don't mind some adventurous flying then we should have no problems. One question, where do I sleep?"

"Heh, adventurous flying is what I live for, crew quarters are on level 2 with the mess and showers and such. There are a few empty rooms down there so take your pick, they are a little cramped but better when those damn Cardassians had her. I ripped out a bunch of the triple bunks and had them turned into single rooms, make it a bit more comfortable." Jones adjusted in his seat a bit, he could see that Kyle was going to be a good addition to his crew. "It is going to be good to have you here on the old girl."

Kyle gave a coy smile "I'm sure it is" He spun his chair, "Now give me a minuet, I need to keep this warp field aligned before your bucket of bolts decides to collapse the bubble and tear us into little bits." He began tapping and the consol again a new grin on his face. It was good to have a new home.
