I'll never understand the fascination with "knucklehead"
[Smiles]

You're a knucklehead occasionally, and Gabe is too.
Me? A knucklehead? [Scoffs, grinning]

She's probably going to call you a knucklehead at some point.
Wife said to behave.
I said I'd consider the idea.
[Hisses] Shiiiiiit....!
Don't attempt it until it's safe.
Eh....Gabe still has him in air jail. I don't have a clear shot.

[Exhales quickly]

Then it is the creepy cadet, and the farm boys have told me the awful things they've heard him say.

Stun the cadet, haul him to the brig. Hopefully Gabe won't have a stroke.
[Nods]

That vein in his forehead is going to burst.

Is it safe to guess the cadet is cursing at him, and he's close to yelling?
They're on deck 3.
I’ll come by. Which deck is this happening on?
No idea. All I know is it's a dude, and he's freaking out now.

I hope he's got the creepy cadet.
Ha! Gabey's putting a cadet in air jail!

Barely held it together for a year. [Grins] Can't help myself!
[Nods]

Yes, unfortunately you are. Up to your ears.
[Nervous chuckle]

Uhhhh.

I'm in shit, aren't I?
[Nervous chuckle]

Uhhhh.

I'm in shit, aren't I?
[Half smiles]

Didn't Gabe tell you not too long ago to be careful? You recently had a baby not too long ago.

[Laughs softly]

If I get a positive test at my age, I think we’d both have a stroke.
Eh....
Wifey [grins]

Um. Hell hath no fury like a positive test.

May I ask what happened?

Whom did you upset?
Don't gotta ask me twice!
Sure, with a phaser on stun. Haul him straight to the brig.
Couldn't I just shoot him?
That knucklehead keeps trying to get me to meet up with him after shifts, and there is no way in Hell that I would even remotely consider it.

If you have difficulty scaring some sense into him, I'm sending in a Terran.
The Tellarite? Good luck with that....

You're thinking of the other cadet. He's really fucking creepy.

I'm about to send Terran Gabe to handle him; he just needs some sense scared into him.
I thought they'd be a different species, considering....

[Smiles, laughing softly]

Yes, they are.

They haven't turned 20 yet, which explains the goofiness and being easily amused.
[Groans, trying not to laugh]

Are they human?
[Groans, trying not to laugh]

Are they human?
They're functional, though sometimes they act a bit goofy.

Earlier, they had been amusing themselves by hitting each other over the head with a paper plate and saying fuck.
[Groans]

Are they at least...somewhat functional? Or am I hand-holding?

They're farm boys, too. I'm going to have to introduce you to them.

Both of you turned out fine, and they will, I'm sure.
I'd say "grew up on a farm, completely isolated"....but that was also me and Gabe. And....well, you know how that turned out.

I have no idea. These two are both new arrivals, and had me laughing until my sides ached.
How'd they get this far never swearing?

These cadets are making me laugh.

I can't believe I taught one of them how to swear.

Apparently I taught him fuck, and the other cadet taught him some other words.
If I can still feel my legs, that is.
[Nods]

In that case, you could join us on our evening walk.
I already ran with him before shift!

Don't let Gabe hear that. He will have you running with him.
What'chu MEAN more sets?! We just did a bunch!
