ON:

{Starbase 10, Admiral Yoshimeyer's Presidential Command Suite}

"I'm really sorry, guys," continued Yoshimeyer, who was still wearing his floral print shirt from Risa, "I really am."

vonMcCormick and Winters stood in front the Admiral's desk. Neither uttered a word.

Yoshimeyer took a bite of a candy bar. "I mean, I appreciate that you saved Starbase 10 from whatever Species 8472 was trying to do. That was good." He took another bite. "But you did violate regulations. And regulations are regulations."

vonMcCormick and Winters exchanged glances.

"Grover, you're going to administration duty on... it looks like Hyatt Columbo III? And Winters... waste logistics on... I can't even read that name. Anyway, I'm sure you guys will do great and you'll be back on starships in no time!"

=/\=Admiral, Captain Schlister and Commander Smith's shuttle has arrived. They'll be beaming over shortly.=/\=

Yoshimeyer tapped his comm badge. =/\=Beaming? Why not just finish with docking?=/\=

=/\=It was Captain Schlister's idea.=/\=

=/\=Okay.=/\= "Well guys, like I said, sorry! I'm sure it'll all work out."

=/\=Admiral, I have some bad news.=/\=

=/\=Yes?=/\=

=/\=Captain Schlister and Commander Smith are deceased.=/\=

=/\=Deceased?!? What do you mean, I thought they just arrived??=/\=

=/\=I'm sorry to inform you, Admiral, but Captain Schlister insisted on operating the transporter himself. He entered the wrong coordinates, and it appears that he inadvertently beamed himself and Commander Smith into space.=/\=

=/\=Well that sucks, Yoshimeyer out.=/\= The Admiral looked at the PADDs in his hands. vonMcCormick's new orders on his right, and Winters's new orders on his left. "Well, someone has to command the Chuck Norris..."

"Sir?" vonMcCormick and Winters both asked almost simultaneously.

"Grover's orders have a higher priority stamp... Congratulations, Aurther, you're the new Captain of the Chuck Norris. Grover, good luck on Hyatt Columbo III."

OFF:

And just like that, Winters is your new Captain!
