38, 47 is a 38 year old man 
57, 8 is an 8 year old female 
48% they're related, 59, they are not. 38 year old has picked up a stray, a little orphan thief in the back streets of Golden Harbor space port who tried to pick his pocket. Thief was starving, so he bought her a bowl of ramen and shanghaied her on the Lucky Star.

Forgot to post yesterday...

I just had the barrel overflow because someone turned the sump pump off and nobody warned me; I was set up! 8-P

So I have this terraforming crew on the south continent of  second world out from an orange dwarf fifty LY from Sol in 2486. A fast colony ship arrives unexpectedly, no warning until they decelerate into the star!

What can they do about it, and how serious a threat is a starship, or a fleet of colony ships?

Something weird, something wonderful...

I want to roll up a community, an asteroid settlement. Random age and gender, age is least out of two % rolls, so 78, 18 is an 18 year old teenager... And a girl because 18 is less than 78? 18, 78 would be an 18 year old boy.

46, 93 is a 46 year old man; default question is the character a female, a woman or a girl, and the lesser number is age. The age distribution scues to lower numbers. I need to run a Monte Carlo simulation, but about half are under thirty.

Less than 1/2 of 1/2 are older than fifty; ~18% are 57 or older than me ..

"What's the trouble, shipmate?"

I grabbed this from a short Wednesday's Universe story about a crew of scavengers just back from a bad mission, although how bad could it have been, they got back...

(I'd be very dead for saying that to my POV character. As in blood on the walls, kicked to pieces, and yet he says this to his youngest shipmate and proceeds to claw his way back from the void in little steps, for her, and for his captain and sister.)

There's a type of space adventure about crew as family which I learned off of 'Citizen of the Galaxy', and I will return to the well until I die...

So, story prompt, what's the trouble, shipmate?
