Vince Grant walked around Baker's Alpha and shook his head. Once again the pilot's ship looked like it got the short end of the stick in the latest battle. It always amazed Vince how Baker made it back to the ship no matter how shot up his Alpha got. The only other pilot Vince could remember with that kind of luck was Ben Dixon; he just hoped Baker's luck wouldn't run out like Ben's did.
Clarification: As pointed out by AHRG, Vince would never have directly met Ben Dixon, but I believe he surely would have heard stories from the more senior maintenance officers of how Ben's Veritech would always get shot up. So Vince would certainly know of Ben even if he wouldn't have personally known him.
