blinks incredulously at the Rat, and shudders slightly at the thought of
what sort of woman our strange crewman would find to go on a date with
him... He then says to Montez (in vargr)...

Vr /"I think we better stick with each other. Rat's our only engineer, and a
prime candidate for getting rolled by some dockside trollop if there ever
was one. We need to have him healthy so he can work the life support refit.
We sould take him to his (brrr...) date, but also should probably be nearby
to cut him loose when whoever this woman is ties him to a chair and takes
all his money and clothing..."
