She became fond of him as he trained her to fight off violent "customers". Shortly afterwards, he fell ill and died shorty after. Teal left her job and wandered the town until she ran into Richard. She forgot how to trust and attacked him when he offered a hand to help. After that he convinced her to join him on his ship as a guard.

Personality: Avery is a pretty proud guy, which of course goes hand in hand with self confidence (a bit of arrogance too). He's also a bit of a klepto, but stays his hands on the ship since if things go missing guess who's number one on the suspect list? Avery is pretty social when he wants to be, and misses no chance to hit on every girl he can get a chance to talk to.

........This thing on? Okay.
Journal Entry #1:
This is getting to be exciting. My first time into Space. I couldn't help contain my excitement, so I bought this new electronic journal. Of course, I've never learned to show emotions, so I look the same as always. I started the pre-flight testing of the engines, to make sure everything was in working order. This ship, Infinity, was a piece of work. Having anti-matter reactors for the engines, was just the excitement I needed. These things just became standard in ships when I was 35. Just a short 4 years ago! Of course, I've done my own little tweaking of them. Increased their output by a factor of 27%, which increased the top speed of this ship from Warp 7 to Warp 10. I bet the pilot will be surprised. I've only meet the pilot and the Captain on this ship. I haven't had the opportunity to meet the other 2 members Capt. Richard said he hired. I guess I will during his debriefing in a little while. These tests will be done here shortly, and I guess I should head to the bridge and see what the Captain wants.
All the tests came back great. Everything checks out. While waiting, I ran a diagnostics on the hull and workings of the Infinity and I couldn't find anything at fault. With those being done, I am heading up the elevator to the bridge. I will record more later, after the debriefing.

The PA system of the ship flickers to life.
"Attention all passengers. The awesome and oh-so-magnificent Rick Walken, your captain for the flight and guide to the stars, would like to kindly request that you haul ass to the meeting room by the bridge. The pilot and I will meet you there shortly. Oh, and professor? If I find out that any of your 'tweaks' have adverse side-effects on my little baby, I will personally hogtie you, put a noose around your neck, tie the other end on the tail of the ship, and drag you through the galaxy at warp speed. Clear? 'Kay, thanks, bye."
He sets down the intercom and rests his feet relaxingly on the dashboard, watching the many sights of space go by in a flash. He flashes a smirk to the pilot.
"So, how was that for an announcement, Ave?"

I clenched my leather pouches on the sides of my boots. My fingers toyed with the button that opened them. The sun reflected off the metal inside as I opened them. I felt stressed out and nervous. These people, I don’t know them at all. How could I ever live with them?, I thought to myself. I stuck my hand into my left pocket on my overalls and took out a small picture. “Michael…” a tear drop fell onto the picture of a tall man standing solemnly next to a young girl smiling.
I sighed, stuffing the picture back into my pocket and walked towards the space deck. When I saw the Infinity ship, I started to get excited. “WOW!” My mouth widened into a childish smile that strongly resembled the young girl in the picture. I quickly regained my composer, “I’m no longer a child, time to be serious Teal.”
I looked at a piece of paper that Richard gave me. It said that we had a debriefing to go through. I didn't know what to do so I stood by the ships door and waited for the others so that I could follow them.I saw a man with a grey fedora and a trench coat walk by and enter the ship. As he passed by me, he tipped his hat to me. I followed after him.
A man's voice abruptly spoke over the PA system. "Attention all passengers... would like to kindly request that you haul ass to the meeting room by the bridge. The pilot and I will meet you there shortly.".
A little startled, I half-ran towards the meeting room. There, I was met by the man with the fedora and an engineer. "Hello," I sat down next to the engineer and waved to them both.

So, I exited the elevator and went down the long hallway to the meeting room. As I approached the door, the door automatically opened for me, and I took a seat at the table there, facing the door. The chairs were quite comfortable, and I was able to feel at ease in them....That is until the first person entered. He was wearing the most ridiculous outfit I have ever seen. A fedora and a long grey trench-coat. He also had a white armband around his upper right arm, which had a red cross on it. That is the military symbol for a medic. I hope he doesn't realize that my armband represents someone who was discharged from the military, an eternal reminder of the highest dishonor, which has only happened twice in the entire history of the military. The first was someone who accidentally discharged his weapon upon his allies some 150 years ago during the Unification Wars, and the second was me.
Right on his heels, by about a minute, was the second person I didn't know. She had her dark hair up in a ponytail, and had icy blue eyes. Those color eyes with her color of hair were very odd, especially since she had such tan skin. She wore very unique boots, as they were very warn and were thigh-high. She spoke with the other man, and sat in the seat next to me. She looked pretty, but she was young. I just hope she wouldn't crack if something ever came up.
Putting my thoughts aside, I sat quietly, ignoring everyone else, until the Captain and the Pilot showed up.

Richard stood up from his co-pilot seat and stretched a little, before heading out of the cockpit.
"Our friends should be here by now. I'll get them a little acquainted with one another. When you feel like getting off your ass, just put it on auto-pilot and come to the meeting room."
With that, he walked through the automatic doors and into the main hallway of the ship. It wasn't a huge ship, like the Lion-class warships the Federation had, but it was big enough to support a small crew. About 10 to 12 to be exact, perhaps.
He walked over to the meeting room where, once the doors opened, revealed three people sitting down behind a large, round table.
"Awesome! You're all here. So, how are you liking your new home so far? Come on, don't be shy. And remember to be honest, too," he said and smiled.

I saw the Captain enter and greet us. He still had his stupid mullet and torn denim jeans on. He couldn't part with those, no matter how logical your arguments were.
"Oh, come on Captain. You don't expect me to come up here just for idle chit-chat do you? If that is all, then I will head back down to the engine room."
I make as to get up from the chair and leave the room.

Rich raises an eyebrow as he sees the Professor get up. Just before he passes him, Rich grabs him by the collar and sits him down again.
"Sit boy. Seriously, why would you want to go back to that stuffy place. You like being alone?"
Rich suddenly gets an expression on his face, as if he just added 2 and 2 together.
"Wait, all alone in a stuffy room. You know, on second thought, don't answer that question. But really, come on up sometimes. Talk to us, stretch a little, fire the rear laser once or twice to relieve some stress or something! And take my word for it, the latter really works."
He chuckled as he went to the front of the table.
"But yeah. In all honesty, I called this meeting because we got some work to do."

I grunt as I am forced to sit back down.
"What's with that face? And I find no pleasure in doing such trivial things. I would rather practice my shashka or to work on some of the tiny projects I have going on, WHICH, by the way, would make life on this ship easier.", I say as the Captain is heading to the front of the table.
I wait patiently as I listen to what the Captain has to say, and to see if he answers my question.

Rich sighs after hearing the Professor's rant.
"Fine. Thank you so much for the improvements to the Infinity, Professor Bohr. There, you happy now?"

"No, I'm not happy. You're never serious, and your way too lax. You have a personality that is completely opposite of mine, but I forgive you for trying to make a mockery of me. Now, are we going to do this meeting or what?"
I pause for a moment.
"Where is the pilot?"
((The professor doesn't get jokes, nor sarcasm for that matter.))

"Yes, don't worry, we'll start soon. And if Avery decides not to show up, it's his loss."
Rich steps aside and takes out a remote control. He presses a button and reveals a holographic slideshow in the middle of the room...revealing some very not safe for work pictures of random women, apparently courtesy of Neo-Hustler e-magazine.
"Whoops. Sorry, that's my personal stash. Let's get that out of the way."
Quickly removing the pictures out of the way, he finally shows the picture of am azure planet with some data on the side.
"Ah, here we go. The planet of Windia. The name itself gives away a lot of the planet, really. So our mission is...wait for it...an escort mission!"
He appears very excited at the last part, although he could have been faking it, considering the low popularity of the escort mission.

"It's not just an escort mission Dick-"
Avery never missed a chance to call him that, simply because no matter how hard Richard would try; Dick, and not Rick, was the shorthand for Richard. Avery flashed a shit eating grin as Richard gave him the finger and made himself very comfortable in the seat at the front of the table. He loved the banter; which reason number five to stay with the ship.
"but to simplify it, you could call it that."
Avery took over the briefing at this point, mostly because Richard was more of a 'big plan' kind of guy. Avery was the technical side. Richard handed him the remote, and Avery continued on with the briefing.
"Windia; as someone with a sense of humour named it many years ago; is home to the Lilian Trade Conglamorate, who has contracted out to the GUA for most of it's security needs. However they recently decided to take on a more...unorthodox method of security"
Avery flipped to the digital contract that Richard had signed a few days prior
"What all these big fancy words mean is that LTC has agreed to allow us to supplement it's standard military escort in favor of privateers with a less developed sense of safety protocols; putting us in charge of a small team that they want kept out of the GUA's eyes."
Avery sat up and turned to the group
"Comments, complaints, or concerns?"

Harris sat on his seat, his two feet resting on the table and fiddling with his blood-stained surgical saw. He looked up at Avery with his hand raised and a don't-really-care expression on his face.
"Yeah, what exactly will we be escorting?"

I looked down and laughed silently at what Avery said about Richard. I put a plain face on and looked back up again. "Will there be a lot of action?" My eyes lit up a little as I anticipated the answer.
