Likewise, the man tries to keep a stoic face to disguise the awkward situation, but for once he was at a loss of words as of what to do; he's clearly as uncomfortable as you are. Finally, he spoke up in a voice that was surprisingly eloquent for such a... Scruffy looking fellow, scratching his head as he does so, "You don't have to, Ambassador, as long as you can activate a trans-warp engine, and run warp calculations. That's about the extent of your duty, until I can trust you." The silence stood for a bit longer, as the man was unsure of how to proceed. He finally nods his head in agreement, "I don't know if Ignus do handshakes, but I'm Eric Cooper, ex-NTR and Captain of the Torch Hammer. No need to introduce yourself; I already know perfectly well who you are and what you've done. Alright, this way." He gestures for you to follow him inside of the ship. Turns out that the inside is a helluva lot more advanced than the outside, with a state of the art control panel and sensor apparatus.
