Just a few more adjustments to the transporters and I believe they'll be fully functional in regards to transdimensional beaming. I apologize if I've seemed a bit absent as of late - between catching up on the paperwork left over from the virus and working on this project I've been a bit busy. If I've missed anything, would anyone care to fill me in?

The mate was fixed by the bosun's pike~. The bosun brained with a marlinspike! And cookey's throat was marked beli-- [ looks at Scotty ] What kind of ship doesn't let a captain carry rum around?

[reversedpolarity]

With all due respect, Captain, you're not a Starfleet captain, for one thing, an' for another, a Starfleet ship doesn't let anyone carry rum around.

[A pause, and then, because Scotty's something of a rule-bender:]

I've got a couple o' flasks we could use.

[andthehat]

Ah. Good thinking! Go get 'em.

[reversedpolarity]

You just come back in here, alright? An' I'll get the flasks, an' then we can mosey our way on down tae the engine room, havin' a drink of a drink discreetly.

[andthehat]

Stiffs the lot 'o you. Have to hide rum. [ sigh. back to the room ]

[reversedpolarity]

Look, I don't make the rules. I just break 'em a bit here an' there.

[andthehat]

Ah. [ fiddles with the end of his sleeves ]

[reversedpolarity]

[Right, flasks. And alcohol in the flasks. And one flask for Jack and one for himself, and if he catches Jack having a nip while they're out in the corridors, God help him.]

Right. Engine room?

[andthehat]

Oh this flask is much nicer looking than Mr. Gibbs' [ Nodding! Out of the room again okay? ]

[reversedpolarity]

[Okay, out of the room again. And keep that flask hidden!]

Right. This way.

[andthehat]

[ The flask that he just drank out of a little then stuffed up his sleeve? ]

[reversedpolarity]

[As long as it's discreet.

Right. Down this corridor, back into the lift - no touching, Jack - through another corridor. She's a big ship.]/i>

[andthehat]

[ What's discreet? :D;

Looking around curiously the entire time and so very tempted to touch it all ]

[reversedpolarity]

[And Scotty's just going to try to keep an eye on Jack as best he can.]

[andthehat]

Not a lot of yellow shirts around these parts, are there?

[reversedpolarity]

Not down this way. Welcome tae the realm o' red.

[andthehat]

There's far too many red. You need to get rid of some of them.

[reversedpolarity]

We can't get rid o' them, they work for me.

[andthehat]

...The shirts, Scotty. Not the people in them. What are you thinking of? You have something against the red shirts?

[reversedpolarity]

I haven't got anything against red shirts. In case you haven't noticed, I'm wearin' one myself.
