Transcript

• Cuddow: In light of the captain's um, temporary nap-naps, you may deal with me, director. I will assume command of the crew.
• Steven: You??
• Cuddow: And why not me?
• Cuddow: I am the senior Fillipod advisor on Tesskil. Which, by the treaty of Kochi, affords me the rank of ambassador.
• Cuddow: And as you know, by virtue of subsection 10, paragraph 22, line 8 of the imperial military code -- ambassadors may assume command of an armada ship when captains are incapacitated during times of war.
• [stare-off between Cuddow and Steven]
• Steven: Whatever.
• Steven: ... As I was trying to tell Taneel before she flipped out, we've already run the smaller Vinn through the procedure.
• Cuddow: Winter's kisses! Already??
• Steven: It appears to have worked. The virus is completely out of its system.
• Steven: So! Mister ambassador. While I check in on the prep work for the Veetan, I'll just leave this with you, since you're in "command"
• [Cuddow and bucktoothed species member stare at each other]
• [once more, with more feeling]
• [this time, Cuddow starts to sweat and look away]
• Cuddow: [whispers] (I lied.)
• Cuddow: [whispers] (... It might've been subsection 6)
