#SNIP#

Sprague 3000: ::Begins to laugh, taking him by surprise::

Sprague 3000: “Is this what humans call humour?”

Sprague: “Yes… I think. I mean, it’s not funny for Don, but I guess it’s funny…”

Sprague 3000: ::Lowers both men back onto the deck and releases them::

Sprague 3000: “Admiral Star wished for me to take over as Captain of the Albion.”

Key: ::Groans, whilst slowly regains consciousness::

Sprague: “Why does he want you to take over?”

Sprague 3000: “Unknown.”

Sprague: “Did you ask him?”

Sprague 3000: “I did not.”

Key: ::Groans again…::

Sprague: “Let’s go ask him.”

Sprague 3000: ::Thinks for a moment:: “I concur.”

Sprague: “Don, when you’ve stopped slacking off, take the helm and set a course for Earth. Maximum warp.”

Key: ::Groggy, gets to his feet and takes a seat at the helm::

{Several hours later…}

Key: “Now entering Earth’s orbit.”

Sprague: “Finally.”;

Sprague 3000: ::Stood at the tactical station:: “I am reading Admiral Star’s lifesigns in San Francisco.”

Sprague: “Let’s beam down there.” ::Looks up:: “Computer, three to beam down to San Francisco, Starfleet Command HQ. Site to site transport.”

::Sprague, Key and Sprague 3000 disappear from the bridge of the Albion::

{Admiral Star’s Office}

Star: ::Severely hungover:: “Ugh, I’m never drinking again…”
