vonMcCormick stepped into the shuttle and handed his identification to the attendant.

"vonMcCormick? That's an interesting name," the lad remarked.

"What makes you say that?!?" vonMcCormick shot back.

"Well, uh, I ah, I mean nothing, nothing at all." He nearly fumbled the paperwork as he returned it to the Captain.

"Good, let's keep it that way."

"I have to ask," he gulped. "For legal purposes--" Gulp. "Why are you taking a shuttle instead of using a transporter?"

"I prefer not to respond," replied vonMcCormick.

"Very well, I will note that in the log, thank you. Buckle up and we'll be on our way to Space Dock momentarily." He began activating the shuttle's systems.

"Excellent. Let's see that we get there quickly."

"Sir, if I may, what is your ultimate destination?"

"The USS Chuck Norris."

The attendant's eyes bulged.

OFF:

I'm really looking forward to everything we're going to see and do on this ship. It's going to be great, really really great!
