Cox in the Cockpit

[Jonash Solo]

Ni can tell that Cox is uncomfortable with her sitting on his lap.  He awkwardly puts his arm around her backside and drapes his other arm over her legs.

Cox speaks in a soft, fatherly voice, "Ni, I feel like we've gotten off on the wrong foot.  You tried to help me out after I was rescued from my ship.  In return, I tried to stop you from following your friend Unna and talked down about you in front of the entire crew."  Ni starts to feel a familiar sensation under her thigh that lets her know her wiles are working.

"This crew thinks you are worth the troubles that sometimes follow you.  I haven't given you a chance yet.  I will give you that chance as long as you promise me something in return.  When you do something that might be dangerous, think about the safety of the crew and let someone know what you're up to.  Think about it - how you would feel if Gaddeon died because of one of your choices."  There is a brief pause to allow Ni to reflect.

"In return for your promise, you will have my unwavering loyalty and trust."  Cox takes his hand off Ni's back to grab the intercom, but does not turn it on, "And my trust comes with perks that I think you will enjoy.  The first perk is that I've gathered all the crew in the break room so you can have some 'fun and games' with them in the break room.  Do we have a deal?"
