| 0:15.0 | All right, that's the last sample and thank everyone for coming with me to this jungle planet and collecting |
| 0:22.1 | some samples and doing a little science today. |
| 0:24.0 | Is the whole planet jungle? |
| 0:26.0 | Yeah, top to bottom, from pole to pole. |
| 0:27.9 | There's no separate climate zone? |
| 0:29.9 | Nope, no oceans, no ice of any kind, no mountains, just jungles. |
| 0:35.1 | Oh, wow, we're getting a hail from another Starfleet vessel that's in the vicinity. Lieutenant, would you, would you take this hail? Yeah, it's an operator, put it on.

| 1:29.6 | Oh, yeah. I mean, a lot of the crew on the Adonis are former actors and future actors and children of actors. you know, because of course actors are so beautiful. But, uh, but no, they're Starfleet officers. Wait, what? Remind me again, |
| 1:35.1 | why do we need a ship of people who are so stupidly hot? It's because of science, man. You should know |
| 1:40.2 | this. Hotness is determined by a scientific principle of symmetry. Yes, but why wouldn't you |
| 1:47.4 | disperse the hot people throughout the fleet? Because if you need to get people attracted to the |
| 1:53.2 | idea of joining the Federation, then you send the best looking ship. That's right. From a communication |
| 1:58.2 | standpoint, it's important. I mean, I'll go ahead and say that, like, working with you guys day to day, like, |
