You have to be kidding!

Stardate 230111-81

 

Was this what I signed up for? Really? I don't think so!

 

OK, I know, I crashed a starship. And they cost squillions, apparently. But it's not like I did it on purpose. I was at a 10-forward party (after a long shift on helm), the drinks were flowing, and someone (you know who you are Ptuh) dared me to do a colony flyover. It seemed like a FUN idea at the time.

 

In my defence, no one was killed—it was a skeleton crew and starships have ample escape pods. And no colonist bodies were recovered either so that's got to be a good sign. But really? Bathroom cleaning duties? For a year? And demoted to cadet. For a year! I'm a pilot dammit. A river to my people. You don't enter in the Kentucky Derby and leave your prize mare in the stables...

Meh!
