That was romance? Because what we have here is sooooo much better than the Amulet of Mara, oh well. I romanced Piper first, I tried to do it with first Cait but failed the speech check, I had spent the most time with Cait and done all her quests and heard her backstory but at the time my charisma was too low. Just thought I'd try with Piper one day and low and behold it worked, yay. But I did eventually romance Cait once I realized how shallow the whole thing is.

I like your Danse idea. He is your CO so turning to him for some help isn't a stretch. Also you've spent a long time in cryo so asking questions of anyone you're wandering with could be quite usefull. I know Piper has some unique statements about main quest events in "Thoughts?" and I'd like more of that. I do like that they say different things when you travel to certain places with them for the first time though.
