That makes sense. I was also wondering about keeping a vacancy on each ship so that new cadets could be spread around the fleet.
Matsiyan and I generally send notice in advance when we are going to be away. That’s actually one disadvantage to the two of us being on the same ship, Lancer ends up being two crew members short.
On a different note, yesterday after the shift we went to FanFest in Phoenix, and wore our local TSN group uniforms. And we were stopped three times by excited people who wanted to know if Artemis was running anywhere. We had to disappoint them, alas.
