He has a more amiable relationship with the pilots and mechanics, but he’s seen a lot of them come and go. He’s a bit of a rascal, gives off that Ornery Dad vibe. He was probably around when she was going through academy, since he was always dragging Theo in for breaking curfew. He tends to be more Drill Sergeant with the cadets.
Also, I have Artemy (legerity), who used to be the mechanic of P-III a few years ago. He’s a bizarre, eccentric genius. He struggles with social situations because of his disdain for social ritual and his inability or unwillingness to read non-verbal cues. He can be a great friend, most people just don’t get his “charm”.
