"Are you…. What's the word… pumping me for information?" She replied with a
friendly smile.

"On the redcord, I'm just making conversation. Off the record, yes, yes I
am." He said with a slight smile.

"I honestly don't think I have met everyone yet. There are those that don't
drink. Those that just want to do their job and remain solitary.  There are
some fine people here though. For example,  the guy in charge, Trip
Williams. He seems like a good man. Very talented for such a young
commander. He knows his mind and is confident but… he needs to be a bit
more personable if you know what I mean?"

Nix nodded. From everything he had read and from accessing logs of some of
the crew, his assessment of the captain was quite the opposite. Distant,
yet friendly, personable.

"We seem to so have a glut of pilots. Lieutenant Williams. I've heard the
stories from back on Mars. All pilot banter. Rumour has it that he's
getting married to one of the other pilots. Well, ex-pilot now."

~Marrying a fellow officer. Could be a good move, could be a mistake. Time
will tell.~ Nix thought, nodding his head.

"Then, there's the chief scientist. Been through a lot that one. Still
finding her feet in life, I think. But, she has spirit. Never one to back
down from a challenge. "

~Really, because all I saw in her personnel fire and from looking at some
logs, is someone who runs away from their problems, tries to play the
victim, and does anything but answer a challenge.~

"Then… there's the First Officer… Lieutenant Bracken. "

Nix looked at the change in her facial expression and the twinkle in her
eyes.

"Sorry… don't know where I went then."

"Well that explains why you are such a terrible read on all the other crew
you mentioned."

(reply Caity)

"You only have eyes for the first officer. Kinda blinds you to everyone
else I'd think."

(reply Caity)

"Well for starters your captain has a reputation for being friendly and
personable. At least according to everyone who ever served with him in the
fighter wing. Did you know that somewhere around 15% of the crew made up
part of the fighter squad, whether as pilots, tactical officers, fighter
technicians, communications officers. Some recruited, many requested the
transfer. So why do you say he's not personable?"

Nix was curious. Bartenders had a privileged perspective on the crew,
seeing things no one else did. Right now it seemed Caity's perspective was
off, but he was curious, was it her perception that was off or was it that
of the crew and their logs. Or was she blinded by a pretty obvious crush on
the first officer.
