Alric on board! He's good particularly for combat against machines and for breaching, since his plasma jets can burn through very nearly anything with a little time. If he can snag a blunt instrument (or even better some kind of stun baton or the like) so lethality's less of a concern, he can be a lot more effective in combat against people, but he can at least help out there regardless just being a very fit young man.
