Welcome, Lieutenant. I'm Rear Admiral Alistair McKeon, Royal Manticoran Navy--you'd probably be able to tell where I'm from by the accent, I'm sure, even though I'm not in uniform.

*salutes* Yes, sir. Thank you, sir. ...Are you okay, sir?

[admiral_grumpy]

*forces smile* You'll probably lose that formality soon enough, Mr. Sutton. You'll see why in a few days, I suppose.

*oooh, something he can answer* 4009, sir! *salutes*

*does math in his head* Oh. Most of us are from a bit later, though. I hope the rest of them turn up soon.

[minispacepup]

*frowns* Everyone's from different times, sir?

[admiral_grumpy]

We're about fourteen years after that--most of us, that is. It's rather confusing. You'll get used to it.
