Aubrey needs...

At Stacey's suggestion, I googled "Aubrey needs". Mine's a little screwy since Aubrey was a popular boy's name back in the day.

Aubrey needs:

... at least a little practicality about her.

... an emergency dose of adrenaline on hand in case of anaphylactic shock

... a girl who likes music, romantic dinners, and is a big movie fan.

... this email to send another survey

... a ship surgeon for his new command

... to be the key central character at all times with the less attractive Maturin a close second.

That last one's my favorite.
