[Ari nods.] My last ship had a crew of two hundred fifty, all human. That's a little high, but I don't want to rely on robots alone. I'll be doing some recruiting.

I have some experience writing employment contracts.

[This is the more interesting question to her. She'd thought it a strange suggestion when she heard it, given that they're all in competition, but it had indicated to her that maybe they'd be heading somewhere that safety in numbers mattered.]
