Sure you can have Haruhi and Kyon, though I was going to use Mikuru for Captain Corcoran's Con posting... if RL things weren't stabbing my muse with a sharpened toothbrush in the lunch line...
Best advice for Captain Corcoran is to play up the Tourist guide aspect, while having a good laugh at the musical Yankee trying to sound posh and British, with perhaps a bit of "I know that word's supposed to be English... but damn, is it LONG!" If you have Corcoran aboard due to docking, etc., he will be very precise and as properly deferential as Hollywood Naval Warfare movies will allow.
''We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat
them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.''
