And When the Sky Was Opened [open]
First, he had to hit Engineering to talk to this Billy fellow--and cross his fingers and hope for the best. This wasn't Metrocity, he hadn't saved the day here and worked for the peoples' trust, and while he'd read that Constitution about people not being punished for past crimes that didn't necessarily mean there wouldn't be attitudes of distrust and the like.
There was, of course, the option of lying about his former villainhood, but good guys weren't supposed to do that, right? And with Roxanne not remembering that he'd reformed, all he'd need was for her to mention he was a villain, and then he'd have to explain the whole thing, and then it would get all messy.
It was better people knew ahead of time. It was better that got their judging...thing out of the way ahead of time, especially if he was trying to work under them.
So off to Engineering he went. Now that he was fairly certain he didn't have anyone to intimidate, he wasn't wearing his cape or the collar, hoping to look as normal as possible.
Of course, on the way there, and afterward, he nosed around into many a place on the ship to look around, often blurting out "Incredible!" "Magnificent!" "Do you see that? That is the coolest thing I've ever seen!" and other such exclamations at the wonders he saw. The ship was a beaut, a techno-organic masterpiece!
[ooc: You can catch him poking around just about anywhere on the ship, although his jaunt to Engineering comes first chronologically. Just specify where he ran into your guy.]</font

"We'll talk to her, thank you. It won't be an interrogation, just casual checking, but I'm inclined to believe you." If Roxanne told a story that matched and it turned out that they were lying to gain the crew's trust, they would have to be co-conspirators. That would be difficult to coordinate.
"There's not too much that we'd have to restrict. Weapons development has slowed down, we're largely focused on communications and infrastructure now. We should have you cleared if not by tomorrow then the day after."
Of course, he'd consult the others once he had further information from Ms. Roxanne. There might also be an interview for Megamind in the future, but that wouldn't take too long. Billy would try to trust again.

"That was...all I really had to say. As for my skillset, I'm a super-genius." He pointed to his giant head. "As is probably more than a little obvious. I've got skill in multiple fields: engineering, with a particular knack for weapons design, genetics, bio-engineering, multiple branches of physics..."
A pause.
"So really, I'd be best suited to be placed on whatever projects where you're lacking someone who has the right expertise to work on them."
With such a wide area of expertise, he could help fill any gaps.
