Without looking he gruffed without taking out the cigar, "Doubt
that. I have been dealing with a pretty annoying Garibaldi lately. You may
only amount to a rash... But just the same....." he finally turned to face
her. "Well you are a different one... Only seen one other like you, she
was Selara somethin' or other. No matter... "
He then abruptly turned back to the engineering crew and yelled,
"You moron, I told you to spot weld it in first. Then make sure that it is
connected right. What the hell are you a recruit. Get it right or get
Thompson to do it. What am I working with here, idiots. Maxwell, get over
there and make sure that he does not screw this pooch.." he was quite nasty
in his remarks. But then again, he was from a different era.....
"Sorry, you wanted to know the first ship you need to check out the
sickbay facilities, right..... Well, you can start here. I will show you
the way. Some of the cooridors are not up and running just yet... open to
space and no atmosphere."

While on the way they passed several work crews, and each got a new set of
instructions from the Boss. Each responded with either a 'Yes, Boss.' or
'Aye, Skipper'.
{reaction if any}
The ship was dark, only about half of the lights were on. The trip seemed
to take forever, like they were going out of their way on purpose. However,
they finally got there.
Upon entry, some one yelled, "Attention on deck."
"Oh stop that crap. There is no time for that. Just keep working.
If I need someone I will yell for them." he answered. "New guy. Still
thinks that I am a Captain or somethin'. Can't seem to get him to relax and
just work. Too interested in protocol." , Carroll said to Serana.
