11/09/2006: "Renaissance man"

Okay! I think that's it for the space operators - the protagonists, anyway. This here is Leo Angelo, another old buddy of the captain. He's brought on board to take care of just about everything that doesn't fall to the captain, scientist, or engineer (the owner and mysterious kid don't do much). He cooks, does minor repairs, navigation, security, laundry, etc. etc. He's good-looking, charming, courageous, skilled, and gay. Everyone realizes he's gay, except his old buddy Captain Irons. Dun dun dun. Hilarious situations arise!

Especially since they've been through countless (nonsexual) adventures together, and are really close. Poor Spade might think the chicks will dig his younger, prettier second-in-command before him (!) but they won't. Oh well, he's always got his booze.
