The next day, Quash came back again. He hired the same dude as before. Yesterday, Quash had paid him a full 100,000 ACP even though he didn't have to. His reputation was bad, and he needed to fix it. What better way is there other than to stuff people with money until they burst?
But of course, it wasn't because that guy's opinion actually mattered or anything, but to plant a seed of goodwill. They had no real animosity. The captain had no reason to hate him other than the simple fact that his crush was married to him.
Unless he was a total simp, he would appreciate the generosity. And when Quash started to cement himself as a generous person, this senior would be among the people to vouch for that.
Quash could see the changes already. The captain didn't seem to hate him as much. Coupled with the fact that Quash held the captain's throat because of the recording, yet still chose to give him a full 100,000 ACP, it must have made quite an impact.
