Jonathan Crawford reached out to shake the hand of President Arthur Lionel. It had been some time since he had seen the Hero of the Republic, and he almost had the urge to embrace him as an old friend.
"Old friend, Mr. President, it is so great to see you. Congratulations on your election as President of these United States. My wife, Elizabeth, and I came to give you our warmest regards. I can tell you that we were quite apprehensive as to whether this Great Experiment of ours would be a success, but given that you are at the helm of this ship, we can think of no better captain."
