Captain Gnoomlee, in his efforts to arrange the crew, asks the questions.  Post each of your characters and if they answer the question.  You don't have to answer.  These are asked in out of game format to simplify.

Do you have ranks in: Profession (Sailor), Rope Use, Knowledge (Spelljamming), Carpentry, Cooking, Heal, Appraise, or Spot

Are you a spellcaster?

Are you proficient in Siege Weapons?

Do you have the Technology feat?

Please post you characters names and races (what you tell people to call you and what the race looks like, not necessarily the technical name)

I got the time a wrong, it was the 12th month when you got back to Ermaneo.  I was picturing the month when the characters went to the Great Forest.

So it was dark most of the time you were in Ermaneo.  By your best count, it is the 17th day of the 1st month of 818 when you arrive at the Rock Base.

A Voider is the equivalent of a Seaman, the lowest level crew.  Both Cas and Ool, appearing to have no skills that are useful, are relegated to that role.

SU-N133E-0221V (“Sunny”) is a bulky living construct (Warforged) in battered, heavy adamantine armor plating. The top 2 of 6 holes in his otherwise featureless face glow slightly when he speaks. I failed to mention yesterday the Iron Man like purple gems that are installed in the center of his torso, the back of each hand, and the back of each calf.

Ganymede Zor - Owlin

 
A Small owl like creature from the High cold volcanic mountains of his planet, his "sooty" dark plumage covers his body, each feather ending in a deep red tip.  His  violet eyes are 50% of the size of his head, and his feathers form too little feather horns on either side of his head.   His body is covered in wizard robes or black and silver, with little pockets covering it.

Frobner Stardrifter

The deep blue scaled Tortle moves with determination, slow determination. His shell covering his back is painted with a map of the sphere, with stars and planets. He is wearing fish scale hide armor, and a leather skull cap to keep warm. He has a spyglass swiveling, attached to his shell

Very non-noticeable dwarf.  When you do notice him.. it's a little bit of a startle.

Q’arrbwaharee-Q’abwahree-Q’bwahrarrbwah-Q’hreebwah-Q (which sounds like a series of vibrato trumpet blasts)

“My name is much too complicated for your inferior physiologies to pronounce. You may call me Q. Like the letter in Common. That should be much easier for you to manage.”

Q is a 3.5 foot tall penguin like creature. Pudgy, with oily black and white feathers and a beak with tiny teeth. Above his beady black eyes are long bright reddish orange eyebrow feathers that continue onto the top of his head, forming “hair” that he keeps slicked back into a pompadour. A set of goggles rests on his head. He wears a leather bomber jacket over a turtleneck sweater and no pants. He has a series of pouches and a satchel storing all kinds of tools and misc. tinkering parts. He is most often seen in a constant state of motion piloting his Doom Chariot, an armored all terrain 2 wheeled vehicle that resembles a cross between a chariot and a Segway. Q speaks with a baritone voice that conveys gravitas, which seems out of place for such a seemingly adorable creature.

Do you have ranks in: Profession (Sailor), Rope Use, Knowledge (Spelljamming), Carpentry, Cooking, Heal, Appraise, or Spot
 Yes, Know(spelljamming)

Are you a spellcaster?
No But my species is so advanced that our minds have developed a natural talent for psionics.

Are you proficient in Siege Weapons?
No But I am certain I can figure out how to use those primitive machines.

Do you have the Technology feat?
Yes I am a master technologist! I have already told you this. I will write it down for you to help you retain the information.

Everyone's characters are great. This campaign is going to be a lot of fun, assuming we don't die within the first few sessions. :)

The captain is not as impressed.  As he questions everyone looking for skills to use as crew, few of you have much of use.

"Badger Gold 5 can reasonably hold 40.  We have 9 who are here not to be crew, so that's leaves 31 to take all of the roles of the ship.  I will have to go recruit some others."

I heard there was a miniature Space Hamster mechanic looking for freelance work...
