And the last order of business on the agenda is that we're all getting bonuses.

0:18.0

Yes!

0:19.0

Whoa, sweet!

0:21.6

Starfleet just let it be known that we are going to have accounts set up and funds put in them.

0:28.6

I have no idea how to use money.

0:30.6

Nor do I. I'm sure this was somebody's big idea to increase productivity.

0:35.6

Hey, do we know if the other ships are getting raises or is it just us?

0:40.3

I don't know. I can ask.

0:42.3

Are we all getting the same raise?

0:44.3

Well, the numbers are coming in later, but I would assume so because if they gave us different raises,

0:50.3

then that would mean we were valued differently, and we're all part of a team here, so... Yeah, but we are all valued differently, aren't we? Well, I guess we'll find out when we get the numbers later. Yeah, I mean, the captain gets the middle chair. Yeah, and he also gets to be called captain. Yeah. And we have to do what he says. Yeah. Do you ever get sick. Admiral on deck. Oh. Oh. You may be seated. What? Are you the admiral? Wait, Fritz? We all got raises. You are not admirals now?

We can already get all the goods and services we need. But like, on Ferengenar, for example, you can buy a promotion with money, and you can also buy luxury items. We don't have a lot of luxury items here on the ship. And this is really going to be a great opportunity for us to show off our personal taste. We can replicate anything we want. But that's not the same as buying it. So we're going to have to pay the replicator to make things for us now? It seems like we're going backwards here. I know what I'm going to spend my raise on.

Hookers.

2:19.3

And blow.

2:20.3

What's blow?

2:21.3

I don't know, but it sounds fun.

2:23.3

Alright.

2:24.3

Well, I mean, I guess as counselor, I'll start spending my money on textbooks,
