anytime plato glad you liked them.
perhaps we should make the sunglasses standard issue though i think it would perhaps be better to reinstate you into our vision...
have you tried any spells?

No, I haven't, but I *am* the apprentice mage of Balwyniti after all!
*waves hands around and waxed fruit on the captain's desk become sheep
and immediately chase after Plato*
*yells*
Well, there is a reason why I'm only an apprentice!

Hmmmm. I think I need new eyeglasses.
Every time I see "Plato," I think of "Potato." 
This is not good. Maybe Mr. Plato doesn't mind,
but if we get another crew member named "Potato"
or "Mr Potato," I will be addressing messages
to one that should have gone to the other..
Mr/ Plato's email box will be crammed with messages
intended for Potatoheads Anonoymous, or even
the Potato Underground.
Potato

Plato

Hello, sir. I am really a good marksman. Watch. *target pops up across the room. BANG! Bullet hits straight in middle of target. target sinks into floor.* I'd like to apply for a position in deck patrol... or otherwise a security position. Here's my resume...

*reads*
Hmmm... former SAS... expert marksman...
Sounds good! We do have a security officer but she hasn't shown up for a few months... so maybe you could take the cabin next to hers and hold the fort til she gets back? just click on the "discuss this entry" button at the bottom of the ship's page... We look forward to having you onboard! BTW, my name is Plato, I'm the First officer...
and you'd better take this...*tosses infrared goggles to Mr. Butkowski*
Oh yea, one question...
weapon of Choice?

Floh is right, first mate: Potatoes *do* make excellent weapons - if you don't have apples.
(You know what they say: An apple a day keeps the 
away - if your aim is good enough, that is... 
)
Anyways: Welcome, Butkowski. Your first assignment is to find the first security officer we hired 
I hope she is safe and sound, but...

nice to see some new crew members.

it can make you shoot at tax collectors, and miss.

Hullo, sir. I'd like to join the crew. I'm quite good with a sword, I'm not a half bad navigator, and I'm good with languages. Here's my resume *hands it to him*
