Altruistic of you, Admiral, to think so many of us might get along on such a little tugboat. Of course, you might be right. Isolate people and they either band together or tear each other apart. Either way, it makes for a very captivating story for you lot, doesn't it?
[Ah, well. This is not the very worst way to come to after a train-and-tank incident.]
This man-to-screen conversing is so...impersonal. I hear there's a bar a few decks away; what's the coin of the realm around here, cigarettes? Favours?
