Apprentice
Description:	By attentively watching what their mentor does, the apprentice can quicky pick up the same knowledge and actions. Enables the action Apprenticeship which allows them to copy a skill possessed by a player present in the room, once per game.
Learned by:	Stephen 5	If Mush:	Kept

Stephen's signature skill which, at last, turns the badass cook into an interesting and useful character. The fact that another crewmember has to have the skill you want to learn, and be alive, will not let you fill in missing roles, but it does serve well as a backup if you have inactives - or Mush you are about to kill. Also useful if you just need more people with crucial everyday skills like Pilot.

For personal from fighting aliens, Stephen has an incentive to learn Astrophysicist to increase the number of expeditions, and Survivalist, Botanist or Polyvalent to secure a place on the expedition team.
To just help the ship in a general way, the best support skill would be Logistics Expert.

Most of all, though, this skill can be used in very interesting ways when copying rare signature skills, as in having two Genius crewmembers, two Shrinks boosting morale, two Trackers comparing lists, seven cameras from Paranoid, or up to twelve hydropots from two people with Green Thumbs.

The effect of Mankind's only hope doesn't stack, but if Chun is inactive and about to die, you can replace her.
