Audri said, "my name is Audri, and this is Val. And we're also hoping to get dropped off on Earth. Like, soon." The chief officer said, "yes-yes. Fine. I'm the chief officer. What experience do you have? Are you familiar with a f-371?" Audri smiled and said, "we've never been on a spaceship before."  Val said, "the actors on the sci-fi channel never seem particularly clever, how hard can it be?" The chief officer gestured over the bosun and said, "bosun, come over here. Take these two to the mess hall. You can instruct them in their duties after launch." The bosun looked at Val and Audri and said, "what will be their duties, sir?" The chief officer said, "since they're new recruits, Runk will want them on the bridge." Looking alarmed, the bosun said, "have you warned them?" Miffed, the cheif officer said, "Runk has made it policy to not warn new recruits about his treatment of crew." Thinking about that, the bosun said, "I suppose I wouldn't have believed the stories until I'd experienced them anyway."
