ON:

{Starbase 10, Court Room}

Sprague's Lawyer: "Your honor, I would like to read a character reference letter for Captain Sprague from Chief of Star Fleet Admiral Charles Star."

Audience: ::oohs and aah::

Judge: "Proceed."

Sprague's Lawyer: ::clears his throat, reads from a PADD:: "Captain Sprague, what can I say? He's commanded more ships than anyone in Star Fleet history. Not only that, he's the senior Captain in all of Star Fleet! And his crews have won more awards for their excellent than any others..." ::smiles a mile wide::

Audience member: ::whispering to his neighbor:: "Whoa, Admiral Star's really going to bat for Sprague!"

Sprague's Lawyer: "... because they're usually forced to clean up the messes that Sprague routinely leaves behind... which is also why he still hasn't promoted after all these years. And finally, as for his many commands, each one beyond the first was due to administrative error."

Audience: ::gasps::

Judge: "Order, order!" ::bangs the gavel::

Sprague's Lawyer: "I think that's enough..." ::places the PADD on the table::
