“How is this a leadership job?!”
“You’ll be in front. First in line.”
Ah! How the Mighty have fallen!
It looks like one of them plastic-fantastic battery powered moped-cars, aka Death Traps. With 40mm Bofors guns and turbines (or is it rock-it pods?) strapped to it. Lovely.
PROBABLE Death Traps.
Huh, and here I thought the elder Stribs would be willing to actually negotiate.
They are Stribs. And now they are pissed off Stribs who resent being backstabbed by kids they had no interest in raising.
Almost Certain Death Ship
Not even rear-view mirrors?
And that strip in front looks like a bumper to me. How good is a bumper at spacefaring speeds?
Huh.. this scale makes me wonder if ‘Strib’ is species, some particular clan/extended family, or some kind of subgroup like a bunch of rich yuppies… in which case seeing their actual government come in to clean up the diplomatic mess would be hilarious.
With only 20,000 babies, that is a good possibility.
The Probable looks to be fast and maneuverable, though no armor or shields. Anyway, a fine youngster like you can surely pilot it to Victory! better then those old fogeys :}

Couldn’t really ask for more to give to these jerks.
Go ahead. Make my day.
Good thing Ruddock cleared out all of those other Stribs:

Gonna make it easier to find places to store those old geezers.
Until they all need to use the toilet at 2AM .
When they find out that he lost his entire crew …
…they’ll whoop and take over every position on the ship.
You don’t have to be named Picard to figure that one out.
Honestly he’s taking assignment to a deathtrap surprisingly well if the most he’s doing about it is grumbling to himself.
Either that, or take a short walk and breath vacuum.
