{You are late.}  replied the electronic voice
generated by his translator to her her comm badge.

{Protocol said One should have checked into One's

{Here is 'The Speech",, You are my third, your
immeadatte superior oficer is Mr Knucklebiter, who is
on an Away Mission. Duty shifts are ten Standard hours
with a one hour overlap of shifts at front and end of
shift. This is until repairs are completed. My
reputation as 'a reproductive organ crushing child of
illegitimate birth' is true. There are three ways to
do things on my staff,, the wrong way, the Fedration
way and my way,, so you can guess which one is
correct. Mine is a training command, and my previous
personel have gone on to many 'plum' posts as they
say..and they few who have not done well, I can
gaurentee you at least one is somewhere currently
scraping the interior of a photon torpedoe tube bu
hand. I still do not understand why someone with your
background in transwarp mechanics and previous duty of
ships would settle for a position here is a mystery.
But you are here, and I expect you on time. Your post
and duties are ovewr there. Welcome aboard.}
