He shook his head. "Well, not in recent years. But my five year mission keeps me out here and we don't go in to Earth's sphere very often. Because of that, it's hard for us to transfer crew in and out, and most of my crew has been with me for awhile - I don't get very many new transfers, unless.... well, nevermind. And honestly, I think before now, I wouldn't have made a very good Captain for them to learn under."

He rubbed the back of his neck and looked down at his drink.

"If I'm honest with myself, they gave me the chair way to early, and I was far to eager to accept. I didn't really understand that responsibility when I first took it, and that lack of understanding caused a lot of damage. Now, though, if anyone would be interested, I would welcome it. I'm sure there are some cadets here and on Earth interested - or scared off forever by the last stunt I pulled. We'll find out."
