Captain.

Yes.

We just got some orders from Starfleet. Great. They want us to return to Dry Dock. What for? They said they're decommissioning the ship. Oh man, Drydock is the worst. Oh, well, you know, I think once we get in there and show off the ship and all its unique qualities, they won't want to decommission it, so go ahead and lay in a course of Earth. I would, except engineering, fell off the ship. Okay. Do we have enough impulse power to swing around and pick them up? No. All right. Hale the other half of the ship that fell off? They don't have communications on that half of the ship. They don't have communications on that half of the ship? Yeah, they fell off a while ago. We've just kind of been drifting for a while.

Captain, Captain, I think I know what Crix's trying to do here. You know how when really good ships with really good captains would get orders that they didn't want to follow, they would pretend that there was some reason they couldn't follow it, like our transmitter is not working properly, and we didn't receive that communication, you know? Oh, right.

So that they can then have an excuse to stay out and finish the mission that they're supposed to be on.

Gotcha.

Crick, hail Starfleet and let them know that we'll be returning to Dry Dock as soon as possible.

Okay.
