So here we have Cpt. Rex Sandusky (the crocodile) on board his ship, the "Hunter" a class 3 exploration and light freighter ship along with his first mate and mechanic dragon, Sigmund "Sig" Watts busy at work repairing the old, beat to hell jalopy of a used ship.
Being part of the Federation, Rex was slated to have his own ship. However, upon getting into a fist fight with a commanding officer at a bar, he kind of screwed his chances over at getting one of the shiny new ones. In fact, the only reason he was able to stay captain at all was because his father is a well respected fleet commander.

But still, punishments were done underhandedly and as such, Rex was given the Hunter. A 200 or so year old ship laden with dents, electrical issues, clunky engines, rust and myriads of other problems. Further added on the fact he was given a skeleton crew to operate the ship and perform work. A lot of rookies and greenhorns.

Save for one... the ship mechanic dragon. A mystery in and of himself, there's not a whole lot known about Sig the part bionic dragon. Rex has his suspicions the dragon may have been a Scrapper or a Metalhead, if not just a straight up pirate. Either way when he was given to Rex as a crew, he came along with one hell of a record. The kind which often doesn't let him anywhere near a ship.

Still though, Rex couldn't complain. Sure, the dragon was lax on protocols, etiquette and often out of uniform. But his work spoke for him. Seeming to have extremely intimate knowledge of how to fix everything on the ship, he's been hard at work rigging, rebuilding, repairing and modifying the aging ship the best he can whenever he can. Not much to complain about from Rex either as the engines purr like a kitten at long last. Even though warning lights go off at random or some of the ancient wiring shorts out and knocks out all of the lights.

So here we see Cpt. Sandusky sitting in his pilot's chair, just staring off into the void of space, waiting for Sig to troubleshoot why the hyperdrive isn't spooling up along with why the response is so sluggish. Maybe even trying not to think about how snug and silky his lycra flight suit is...
