New crewmembers!!!!!

Ok crew, We've got some new crewmembers coming aboard once we get to Proxima Orbital poultry factory so I'd like you to give them a warm Blue Dwarf welcome and include them in your posts when they board the ship soon.
 
The biographies of Steev MAckEnzyyyyyyy and Kieran Loes follow:-
 
Name: Steev MAckEnzyyyyyyyAge: 23
Rank: Ensign
Position: Assistant engineering officer
Description: Blue eyes, Long black hair (greasy), Embarrassed grin, nervous expression, Luggage-locker shaped (when curled up), greasy in general.
Steev is a rather nervous and timid soul, likes Picasso, Jigsaws that don't fit and other abstract stuff.  He has an incredible fondness for cheese, though no one least of all Steev knows why.  Can sometimes be given to having flashes of inspiration and genius in an "Ace Rimmer" stylee, though all too often he gets laughed at.  Again and again.   Is interested in finding the one comfortable Left-luggage locker, due to his panic attacks, balancing out the "Ace Rimmer" attacks.
History
Steev was born into a normal family on Earth.  Unfortunately the person typing out his birth certificate fell asleep on the keyboard, and before anyone noticed he was cursed with the badly typed travesty.  People therefore laughed often at his name as soon as they found this out.  He moved with his family about a lot, and he was well received by classmates and friends...until he had to write his name on the board.  Therefore Steev is prone to freaking out sometimes.  He often hides in these times in Left-luggage lockers, though has yet to find a really comfy one.  Generally nervous normally, he is sometimes prone to TV-style "building up" of the nervy one..heroic "you can do it!" speeches, and can sometimes overcome the embarrassment of his name and does something truly great.  Then he ends up writing his name again, and people laugh, and he has to hide again.  Gained a fondness for abstract art and the like because he shares a bond with them due to his own twisted name...He needs the money from this Jag to finally get his name changed.

"Oh for F**S SAKE!  It was a mistype!!!" *sobs*
*************************

Name: Kieran Loes

Sex: Male
Age: 23
Race: Human (genetically engineered)
Rank: Ensign
Position: Chief Navigation officer/ pilot
Description
Kieran is an exceptionally handsome young man.  He is about 6'2"; 190 lbs of solid, well-sculpted muscle.  He has thick black hair and bright blue eyes.  He appears to be of both Irish and Korean descent.  He has clear, pale skin, and slightly slanted eyes.
Personality and interests
Kieran doesn't sleep much.  He likes to poke about in the ship's computers, meet people, fly ships in the VR suite, and generally find ways to keep his mind active.  He has no favorites because he likes to try everything at least once.  He's very friendly, which most people find somewhat disturbing.  He enjoys physical activity *koff koff* because it's uniformly interesting and challenging.

History
Kieran has that extra-special something that just attracts people: an extremely large bank balance.  His parents, fearing a genetic defect in their child based on their DNA, had gone through the torturous legal channels to have their unborn child's DNA altered to prevent defects.  However, the hospital overdid it, and the child died.  In recompense, the hospital offered to try again.  They got some impregnated ova, and tweaked and tweaked the faulty DNA until they got a viable subject - Kieran.  However, that process took about 80 years longer than expected, and Kieran's parents are now dead, leaving him the sole heir of their fortunes and the proceeds from their lawsuit against the hospital.
Without any family, Kieran's future was decided by the state.  And what better place to stick some rich orphan than the Space Corps?  Maybe he'll die, and his wealth will revert back to the company.  Kieran actually enjoyed his time in the Academy.  The work came easily to him (improved synaptic response) and he made a lot of friends (increased pheronome production).  He especially enjoyed learning to pilot ships, as he could afford the extra lessons (and his accelerated eye-hand coordination and fine motor control helped).
Kieran doesn't know the full extent to which his DNA was altered, but he suspects that as with the first attempt, the hospital overdid it.
This is his first assignment out of the Academy; he spent a little time traveling around by himself to see if there was anything else he wanted to do.  Nothing seemed more interesting than space, and he got bored very quickly.
