ALL BOATWAIN’S MATES TO THE MED BAY
The Men were crammed into the small quarters waiting for their tests to read negative so they could return to duty.
“So what is the skinny on the whole duel thing?” Asked one of the Engineers.
Eddie rolled his eyes, while Gondhu Kept watching the scanner.
“I hear the ambassador is some slick swordsman.”
Eddie replied, “I think it is like those old Yippey Ki cake Cowboy movies. They are both killers with the taste for blood, so they can’t exist in the same space without knowing who is the best.”
“Brother, must you spin tales with these powder monkeys?”
“Dear Brother, they are the men who keep us in the air, i am just entertaining them.”
“Spreading lies is more like it.” Answered Navigator Chang.
Gondhu snapped,“Now it is I, who do not care for your company.”
A smile crept across chang’s pencil thin bowtie lips, when she answered, “He called her trash.”
“The XO?” Eddie asked.
“That would have been better. She is gonna kill him because he called the ship trash.”
