"A ship? You mean as in one of those interplanetary vessels or something more earth bound?"
"Yes either one, interplanetary or earth bound, just anything that gets off the ground or isn't earth bound."
"Nah... Unfortunately it just wasn't my pursuit of skills at the university. Why have you flown a spaceship or something earth bound?"
"Nah, I haven't even been close to a cockpit. I have always felt very comfortable with my feet on the ground. My skills surrounds grunt type combat not fighting from a distance."
"So, is this something you want to do? Switch from being a mercenary for hire to fly a big space ship?"
"Sure why not, but I don't think I will be a pilot, I don't have enough smarts for it and plus I'm better at holding a trigger than I am with pushing buttons and issuing commands."
"Besides that those ships have some big guns so you won't miss out on much, you still get to use your 'itchy trigger finger' but in a different way."
Rubbing his chin, major had not thought about the prospect of firing those big guns before but the idea brings a smile to his face. "Hmmm... Now you give me something to consider if I ever get out of here."
