I have no strong feelings either way regarding a marine crew, although if it became a thing I guess I could always adapt my Smoker-esque idea to fit that. XD

Anyways, I'll try and figure out a starting arc for Maisie.  As much as I am tempted to have her get into a barfight with Emeri and then in typical shonen fashion declare herself to be her eternal friend after they've roughed each other over a bit I am not sure if that's the best idea, but I'll try and think of something.
