I'm not sure, I like it when it's believable.
and the whole @do you realise we have the perfect crew right here?' thing is reminding me of cliff Richard, if they start singing....

I also think I'd believe it if they had the cash to just buy a ship and go, but the idea of the jesuits accepting them, just too much. but then it hasn't happened yet, so maybe it'll work, not a mojor flaw as yet.

I'll admit I found that a little 'lucky' but a minor irritation when put in context of how the story evolves.

I can live with it, just the only bit that hasn't rung totally true so far.

I reckon if I heard an alien signal I could find friends with the right kind of skills pretty quickly.

Or at least people who claimed they had the skills because they rolled an 18 on intellect

This was not, may I point out, meant to be disrespectful of your beliefs.
I say this as, just for once, even though most of your beliefs seem to be diametrically opposed to mine, you seem like a nice person, so I'm trying not to be offensive, even though this is my default state of being.
