Meet H.A.R.R.I.S
When not flying ship launched fighters, this refined cultured android with interests in all of the Silicon Culture Composites seeks co-thinker to improve the quality of time. (Lifted from the FEE Personal Ads that included Android ones)
We may only need SLF Pilots at the moment but this looks like they could make a valuable crew member one day
Not sure what you would pay them, I assume you would instead own them, maybe they could be the flat fee crew as it is simply the maintenance and upkeep costs, but as a trade off need expensive firmware updates to "Rank up"
