..So I met him in Zeng Shi, can we, the steel sibling, hire him and give him far better pay and treat him better, just to spite the cousin? Really, spiting the cousin would be such a wonderful glorious experience. XD.

Dane has always been intended to become a member of Captain Steele's crew. It's just taking a while to get there.

I think the Spawn of Maximillian would rather ridicule you for hiring their sloppy mercenary seconds, since they've made up their mind that Dane was bad at his job. I think that eliciting any embarassment from their side would require some form of interaction which proves Dane's worth as hired muscle when he's allowed to work under less-than-idiotic conditions (that is, when working for someone other than Cousin Dear).

Honestly, i highly doubt Cousin Dear is gonna win, I mean. ..the Cousin makes JOFFREY from game of thrones look sane and competant. The Cousin comes off as an incompetant buffoon.

(I love TiTS writing, thats why i'm talking about it.) Also sure, he can ridicule Steele, Steele just beats him every step of the way and in turn rolls their eyes at em.

Wait. ..Kiro is listed too? Paige, Kiro, Anno, on the same ship. Dear GOD. Poor Steele. Steele may never walk again. /bad joke.

Yeah, there were always plans for Kiro, Syri and Dane to join your crew. Saendra too, I think, but that might have been dependant on her ship becoming irreparably damaged.

Yeah, there's a good end on Uveto that confirms the cousin isn't all that talented

Everything about your cousin says that they are incompetent anyway. They're a spoiled brat who has had everything handed to them throughout their entire live, with daddy paying for everything. They haven't earned anything, they haven't accomplished anything. Which is why they serve as the perfect foil to Captain Steele.

Honestly, I see your cousin ending up getting disowned by Uncle Max and having to come grovelling to Captain Steele for a job. I'm thinking Jill is either going to get up as the Janitor's bootlicker or as Steele's personal vibrating footrest.

You are wrong.
Think about it, every time you reach the probe, your cousin is already there.
Coincidence? No way.
S/he is so competent that they actually monitor Steele so that s/he can be there once you find the probe.

Why? Obviously because dear cousin is in love with Steele (and in denial about that.)


I assume that the cousin would be annoyed if you take Dane as a companion and hide the frustration behind smuggness, as usual.

Pretty much. I mean, I have this mental image of Mister Burns as Max, I can't really see him going out to a planet rush and stealing the probes.

Your cousin is a tool, in both senses of the word. They might be the one chasing you for the probes, but they've spoiled for everything in their life. They aren't hiring mercenaries to fight for them, its Uncle Max's money. They don't have the experience of running anything, its all Uncle Max. If your cousin wins, they might be the CEO, but it'll be Max running things.

And even then, I don't think he'll even remotely do a good job.

I'm pretty sure if Jack/Jill find the last prob first they'll have to fight you for it. I'm sure Jack/Jill will most likely be disowned by their father. I don't get why people have such a hate boner for Jack/Jill. Yeah they're a jerk but that doesn't mean you have to be. If you have nice, mean or mischievous personality, that should affect how you respond to your cousin.

I hope so considering how Victor straight up requests us not to hate them because it’s not their fault they got an evil bastard for a dad. Maybe we’ll get a choice at one point on how to deal with them when we have them at our mercy? It’d be nice to see actual character dev for the Rival instead of a two-dimensional cardboard cutout.
