Captain Shepherd stroked his chin thoughtfully. He hoped that Hina had paid attention not just to the competence of his potential crew but the... soft skills as well.

Space travel was long and arduous and while ancient naval traditions frowned on liaisons on their ships, they also thought maggots and butter went well together. He damned well didn't want to spend weeks or months at a time on the ship with nothing but a bit of VR porn for comfort. While transporting passengers could provide some entertainment as well, that was always dicey as if anyone ever claimed he had extorted sex for passage, he would be in for a legal nightmare and his client list would shrivel up to nothing. Best to keep it in the crew.
