What kind of world do we live in where Cupcake gets chosen to go on the next away mission and I don't? I don't know who has a hair up their ass, but if I don't get chosen the next time, then I'll just have to make my own away mission or something. This is balls, man.

I'm sure you'll end up on the next mission. Don't worry.

[martha_landon]

Oh, if only I could bottle your optimism. I'd make millions!

Ah! I'm glad you commented. I had a question about a plant. I checking up on some kind of mineral that's important, or something like that, and I must have bumped into like...was it nettles? I dunno. But my arm's been itching me since, and there's little black bumps and a red area. I know you're not the doc, but you're into plants, so I thought you may know what's up.

You probably have a rash caused by plant toxins getting into your skin. Uh, it shouldn't be lethal but the area may be sore for a while.

I'd go see the doctor just in case to see if it isn't more than meets the eye.

[martha_landon]

A rash? Well isn't that just fanfreakingtastic. Thanks, though, Mr. Sulu. I'll have this checked out. And here I thought the botany bay would be a nice, gentle job to take, ha. Thanks, Mr. Sulu, for the info.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that he has security training and you don't?

There's always next time.

[martha_landon]

But I do have security training. It's no big deal. Like you said...maybe next time. We'll see!

[goldenpilot]

In due time, you'll get to join the team! I'm sure the mission he's on is kinda lame (actually looking at the log, I'm pretty sure it is!)

[inwented]

Do not feel bad! I am not picked for away missions either.

[martha_landon]

Aww, thanks, Chekov. We're probably too cool for the away missions, hm?

[rockhammerman]

Cupcake? You mean that big security guard? I've always called him "The Hulk" myself...

[martha_landon]

Ha. His nickname is a long story involving a few of his run-ins with the Cap'n.

[rockhammerman]

Oh I HAVE to hear this some time.

[martha_landon]

Perhaps I will spin you a yarn about it if we catch each other in the commons room or kitchen or something :) It's a pretty hilarious series of events, not gonna lie.
